Here’s anoth­er chance to hear Episode 8 of Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio’s pop­u­lar orig­i­nal series, “Tarot @ Teatime”, with Wil­low Moon­fire and Hon­ey Heart.

Episode 8 intro­duces the role of nar­ra­tive in read­ing: the Tarot read­er as storyteller.

We dis­cuss the sig­nif­i­cance of nar­ra­tive in a read­ing and how to cre­ate a nar­ra­tive that is mean­ing­ful and clear.

The episode goes out at Noon and 4pm Pacif­ic on Jan­u­ary 1st and 5th.

This episode was record­ed on June 22 before a live audi­ence at VCRa­dio Tow­er at the Sec­ond Life 19th Birthday.

The pro­gramme is, as its name sug­gests, intend­ed to pro­vide an intro­duc­tion to the Tarot, and it cov­ers a lit­tle of the his­to­ry of the cards and gives some point­ers, sug­ges­tions and exam­ples on how to read them.

This episode goes out on Thurs­days and Sun­days at 12 noon and 4pm Pacific/SLT, up to and includ­ing July 31st.

Nor­mal­ly we would sug­gest that read­ers use at least a 3‑card spread with their quer­ents, as these can give a sur­pris­ing amount of information.

How­ev­er there are times and cir­cum­stances where a quer­ent or a read­er needs a quick yes/no answer.

These “bina­ry” read­ings can be car­ried out with one or two cards, or you can start with one or two and expand the read­ing with an added com­bi­na­tion to give more detail.

We look at meth­ods of car­ry­ing out bina­ry and com­bi­na­tion read­ings, and pro­vide examples.

The episode goes out on Thurs­days and Sun­days at 12 noon and 4pm Pacific/SLT, up to and includ­ing July 17th.

The most pop­u­lar top­ic for read­ings is rela­tion­ships: whether roman­tic, work-relat­ed, fam­i­ly or friend­ships. Most ques­tions con­cern one of three aspects of rela­tion­ships: attract­ing them, main­tain­ing them, or endings/loss. This episode looks at spreads that are help­ful in answer­ing these kinds of very com­mon ques­tions. In addi­tion the pro­gramme pro­vides some sug­ges­tions on how to frame the most effec­tive ques­tions — and the ques­tions to avoid.

In episode 34 we dis­cuss some of the more eso­teric aspects of card read­ing such as the eti­quette of work­ing with tarot, using and stor­ing the cards, how to frame a query for max­i­mum impact, and then final­ly the meta­phys­i­cal aspect of the cards, or why they work in the mate­r­i­al plane as well as in a vir­tu­al setting.
