Cardslingers Coast to Coast

Episode 95: Let’s Talk About Twin Flames

Hilary, Melissa, and Jaymi discuss soul mates, twin flames, and kindred spirits. They relate it back to tarot readings and the divination community. We discuss the concepts, pitfalls to avoid, and how to deal with clients who seek their ultimate love. We recommend that you cultivate a relationship with yourself. Learn what you want in your life and secure your emotional boundaries. Remember that The Lovers card is a new relationship, an endorphin hype card while the Two of Cups is grounded and realistic.

Episode 94: That's Not What the Book Says

We got a listener question regarding condescending feedback and clients that fight you on your interpretation. We tell stories of how this worked in our lives, and we give feedback on how to deal with this situation as it relates to client readings and social media posts. Bottom line: don’t be a dick. (Props to Wil Wheaton.)
Homework: Know the intention and why you’re posting, and that can help you deal with various feedbacks.

Episode 90 An Introduction to Tapping with Hilary

A year or two ago, Hilary started a certification process for tapping. This is a process known as the emotional freedom technique (EFT). It’s similar to the rapid eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) that Lis has been doing. It’s good to work with issues and to clear stresses in our lives. Now, doesn’t that sound a bit like our favorite tool, tarot? It may not solve the problems; however, it can help you change how you feel about it.
So, we’re here with Hilary to learn about her process and how she connects it back to her tarot practice. We even have Hilary take us through a short process of making a consistent card of the day practice.
If you have questions, contact Hilary at her website. Learn more about this on her site’s tapping page. She also has many tapping videos on her YouTube page.
Homework: Try a tapping session, whether it’s the consistent card of the day or another one.

Episode 89: The Moon is Goth, and It Pleases This B*tch

The Cardslingers discuss the meanings of The Moon. At its core, this card represents fear and the unknown. It’s a reminder of all we have gone through in The Tower and Devil cards. Yet, this card tells us to recognize the darkness and to learn the lies. Lean into the darkness, sit with it, and learn from the shadows.

Episode 87: Everyone is a Little Bit Psychic

Happy October, everyone. Kicking off the divination month, we dive into the psychic arts, thanks to our listener question from way back when. We discuss the differences between how you can tell if it’s real or not, how to hone it in with practice, and what to do with the information after you get it.
Our listener from the UK says, 
TL, DR: For those of us who are not born gifted in this regard, what can we do to strengthen our intuition and learn to understand what it shows us?
I am a beginner reader who enjoys studying tarot in my spare time. I've bought books by Rachel Pollack, Melissa's book, and Barbara Moore's Tarot Spreads book, and I take time to practice on willing friends.
One thing I know we probably can’t learn from a book is how to nourish and develop our intuition.
I appreciate that some of us on this planet are born with a stronger gift than others, such as clairvoyance or psychic ability, and it amazes me to hear how you all get clear visions and exact information from your readings.
In your opinion, can anything like this be learned, and if so, how do we strengthen and nourish our intuition so we can level up our tarot practice both for ourselves as a healing practice and in reading for others? (I sometimes think I can picture something, a kind of vision or snapshot, that I could communicate to somebody, but then I don't know if it's me inflicting my own ideas on them or if it's my intuition popping up and handing me helpful information.)
Homework: Write what you think the next day will look like in a journal. Do this for two weeks. How accurate are you?
