This Week’s One –Card Reading

This week our one-card reading is not drawn, but chosen. Sometimes tarot works equally well when we choose a card on which to focus our attention. That is what I have done this week.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I chose The Empress for our focus.

The Empress reminds us to honor our mothers, and reminds us to nurture those around us. It also reminds us to nurture ourselves.

The Empress teaches us to be creative, to enjoy nature, and to hold the abundance around us in gratitude.

Even if you are not feeling as abundant as you would like, focus on the image of the Empress and know that your needs will be fulfilled. Have gratitude for what you do have, and have faith that you will have what you need without struggle.

This Week’s Special Read

In honor of Mother’s Day, this week’s Special Read is my poem about The Empress, from my 78 Poems Project. Read it here.

I will look forward to seeing you or speaking with you soon!

Christiana — Wed, 02 May 2012 16:19:30 +0000

Welcome to the first edition of the Tarot by Christiana newsletter for the merry month of May! Mayday is special in many cultures. Perhaps as a child, you made May Baskets, or danced the Maypole. Perhaps you know the First of May as the holiday of Beltane. Maybe you are familiar with May 1 as International Worker’s Day. Whatever the point of reference, most of us have some pleasant association with May – even those of us who live where the sun shines all year are still happy to welcome spring.

May is a great time to enjoy a tarot reading, too. Please remember that I am available for readings by phone or Skype, or in my office in West Palm Beach. Together we can explore what is blooming for you this spring!

I have a couple of great events this week, and many more over the next few months. To get the full picture, you can visit the calendar on my main website at http://tarotbychristiana.com.

This Week’s One –Card Reading

Your One-Card Reading for the week is the Page of Wands. This card reminds you to “think young,” not in an immature way but in an open-minded way. Be willing to try new things. This card also asks you to be a student. Be ready to learn new things either in a formal classroom or simply in the classroom of life.

Your primary focus should be about nurturing your passions, especially those that are creative and/or spiritual.

This card also reminds you to share your creativity, and communicate your passions without fear.

This Week’s Special Read

Today I would like to share two blog posts. The first, from my personal blog Tarot Trends, is a short post about the holiday of Beltane.

If you are interested in reading tarot, you may also enjoy my recent post in the Tarot Topics Community Blog entitled Reading the Cards That Are Not There.

Christiana — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 19:02:48 +0000

Hello folks! As if I didn’t spend enough time on social media, I have now joined Pinterest, and am loving it! Please follow me at http://pinterest.com/christianatarot/.

I have one event coming up this week at my office in West Palm Beach.

Throughout the month of May there will be many events on-line and in West Palm Beach, so please check out the calendar on my website.

I hope those of you who are interested in tarot and are in South Florida will join me this Monday evening at 7:00 in the conference room on the 11^th floor for a very special class entitled Personal Tarot: Reading for Yourself. This class is designed for serious tarot students who want to develop their tarot skills. Self-reading is the best way to learn to understand the cards. It is also an important practice for personal and spiritual growth.

This hands-on workshop will teach you good practices for self-reading. You will be able to identify and interpret your specific personal cards. You will be able to use self-reading to enhance your tarot studies. Christiana will help you explore specific techniques for self-reading that will help you derive all the information you need.

The fee to attend the workshop is $20.00 USD.

For more information and for payment options please visit the event listing on the Tarot by Christiana Continuing Education website.

For those of you who want a face-to-face reading with me and can’t travel to West Palm Beach, please consider a Skype reading. Skype is free to install and free to use. Many computers and tablets come with Skype already installed. If you don’t have Skype yet, or want to learn more about it, visit the Skype website. You can use Skype on your PC, Mac or Android.

This Week’s One-Card Reading

This week’s One-Card Reading is the Four of Pentacles. This is a very interesting card. It could suggest that you are feeling a bit selfish, or that someone around you is acting in a selfish way. It could tell you to be careful of your resources – honor your need to conserve time, money and energy. It could also tell you that now is an important time to be self-full and take good care of yourself.

This week, be mindful of your resources. Share them neither too much nor too little. Make sure you have everything that you need to be well, and make sure that the people close to you make your needs a priority when necessary.

This Week’s Special Read

Just yesterday, I wrote a blog post on my personal blog that has caused a bit of controversy. Check it out and see what you think. Please leave a comment if you like.

Have a great week.

Christiana — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:17:20 +0000

Hello everyone!

Do you know someone who might like to receive this weekly newsletter? Send them to http://tarottopics.com where they can subscribe to the newsletter as well as read older newsletters in archive.

This week I would like to add a couple of FAQs about my webinars.

Q. What equipment do I need to attend a webinar?

A. At the very least, you need a telephone. Webex allows you to dial in to attend as a teleconference. If you want to attend on your computer, you will have access to the chat room and the white board. If you attend on your computer without a webcam you can still see me, but I can’t see you. If you attend on your computer without a mic you can also call in on your phone so we can hear you, or you can simply use the chat room to communicate with me and the rest of the class.

Q. What time can I join the webinar?

A. I start the webinar fifteen minutes early, before the official start time. If you join during that time, you have a chance to make sure your connection is good and your equipment is working. If you have a problem, you can call me at 561-655-1160 anytime in that fifteen-minute period.

Q. Is it OK to join the webinar late?

A. Absolutely – but if you have a problem logging in I won’t be able to assist you. Most people do NOT have any problems getting in, and so coming in a little late is not a problem. We will always be happy to see you there.

Q. What if my password doesn’t work?

A. For free webinars, the password is listed on the event website. Remember that passwords are case sensitive. If you log in within the 15-minute period in advance of the start time, you will have an opportunity to call me at 561-655-1160 if you have a problem with your password. For a premium webinar, your password will be emailed to you before the start of the webinar.

Q. Where are webinar dates and times listed?

A. All webinars are listed on the calendar on my main website, http://tarotbychristiana.com. The individual links on the calendar will take you to the event websites, which are http://tarotbychristiana.org for tarot classes, http://tarotcircle.org for Global Tarot Circle and http://celebratespiritualgrowth.com for non-tarot webinars.

Webinars are also pinned on my Webinars board on Pinterest and listed on my public Facebook page. You can also join Tarot Circle Meetup of the Palm Beaches and Worldwide.

Christiana’s virtual classroom is accessible using your computer or your telephone. For more information, log in and registration instructions, visit here.

This Week’s One-Card Tarot Reading

Your one-card tarot reading for the week is The Seven of Swords.

Traditionally, this is the “The Thieves’’ Card.” It reminds you to be careful of the company you are keeping. In business or in your personal life, there could be someone with a hidden agenda, or someone who is not playing fairly. Keep your eyes open, and be careful about whom you trust.

On a more personal level, this card asks you to examine your own integrity. Are you living within your own ethical standards?

Other things to watch out for when this card appears include hidden health issues, or areas in your life where you feel you are not worthy of the trust that has been placed in you. Chances are that you are indeed worthy, and just need to trust yourself.

Sometimes life requires us to be a bit creative, or crafty, in the way we conduct ourselves. Short of out-and-out dishonesty, this card may advise well-placed craftiness to help you achieve your goals.

Read my poem about this card!

This Week’s Special Read

I actually have three special reads for you this week!

First, I invite you to check out my review of the new Art of Life Tarot Deck. This very interesting deck will be available at the end of this month.

Next, I would like you to read my recent blog post “Stronger” from my Tarot Trends personal blog.

Finally, if you are a tarotist, you might enjoy my quick note about two-card spreads in my Tarot Topics Community Blog.

Have a Great Week!

I’ll be back next week with more information for you. In the meantime, remember I am available for readings in my office in West Palm Beach, by phone or by Skype. Just give me a call at 561-655-1160 or 866-99TAROT to book yours!

Blessings,

Christiana

The Fine Art of Living Life: A Review of Art of Life Tarot

Christiana — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 22:17:02 +0000

Art of Life Tarot
Charlene Livingstone
Published by US Games
Review by Christiana Gaudet

With her new Art of Life tarot deck, Charlene Livingstone is not the first to use existing works of art to illustrate a tarot deck. Kat Black’s Golden Tarot used digital collage of medieval art to create a tarot deck very true to the Rider Waite Smith images.

Neither is Charlene Livingstone the first deck creator to ascribe famous quotations to each card of divination; Ciro Marchetti’s Oracle of Visions companion book includes a quotation for each card.

Nevertheless, Art of Life Tarot from U.S. Games is a truly unique and valuable deck. It easily teaches two important concepts with which tarot students often struggle. First is the concept of archetypes. That the deck creator illustrates each card with a famous work of art and famous quotation drives home the concept of archetypes; the idea that each tarot card portrays a universal theme that is repeated many times over in art, music and literature.

The second concept is that tarot is more than a simple device for fortune telling. Tarot cards offer inspiration and bear spiritual wisdom, just as art and literature can. The box in which the oversized cards are packaged actually turns into a standing frame wherein we are encouraged to place one card each day for inspiration.

The accompanying Little White Book is written in the first person by the deck creator, and tells the poignant story of her own tarot journey. The card descriptions are based on key words for suits, numbers and rank. No mention is made of elemental associations.

The cards themselves are large, with a white background. The traditional name of the card is at the top. The top half of the card is a reproduction of a work of art. Under that, in small italics, is the name of the work and the artist. Under that, in large italics, is a quotation. The works of art and quotations are classic. They span several centuries and come from many cultures, although many will be familiar to those of even modest education. There are no ultra-modern works – no album art or wise quotations from Bart Simpson.

I identify Lisa Hunt and Kris Waldherr as the primary innovators of this kind of archetypal assignment tarot deck. What is true for their decks is also true for Art of Life. At the end of the day, artists’ choices are their own, and completely subjective. It is very easy for an experienced tarotist to go through this deck and say, “Why did she choose this painting for that card?” or “I could think of several quotations that would illustrate this card much better!”

The important point is that even if we don’t agree with every choice, this deck gets us thinking about the archetypes of tarot, and how they are expressed in art and words. In this way, Art of Life is engaging and educational.

Some of the cards are particular apt, or at least they speak to me very personally. For instance, the Wheel of Fortune is Mucha’s Zodiac accompanied by the famous passage from Ecclesiastes, “To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.”

Another I really like is The Moon, which is Rousseau’s The Sleeping Gypsy. Its quotation is from Thoreau. “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”

Art of Life is a wonderful teaching deck, and a wonderful deck to inspire us about tarot, and about life. As a workable reading deck, some may see it more as an oracle than a standard tarot. Because of the quotations, a novice could easily pull cards at random, or lay them in the simple Creativity Spread included in the LWB, and get a meaningful reading.

I took Art of Life Tarot on a test drive with a simple two-card “This or That” decision making spread, and was shocked by the clarity of the answer. As an experienced reader, I could read blank cards with only the card names on them. But the quotations and the images were particularly striking, and added depth to the standard interpretation of each card.

Art of Life Tarot will serve well as a companion for the tarot journey, rather than as a primary learning or reading deck. Those who are not tarot-centric can use this deck simply as cards of inspiration, divination and meditation. Art of Life Tarot will be especially appealing to lovers of art and literature.

On a side note, this deck is good news for those of us who don’t want to draw but might want to design a tarot deck someday. There are many ways to be creative with tarot, and many ways to illustrate a deck. Charlene Livingstone has done an exemplary job illustrating a tarot deck with the art and words of the masters.

Art of Life Tarot by Charlene Livingstone is a welcome addition to the body of tarot, and will be a welcome addition to most tarotists’ collections. Its title is more descriptive than we might first realize. In meditation and divination, it will most certainly inspire us with counsel from the ages in the fine art of living life.

One-Card Tarot Reading for the Week

This week’s card is the Six of Swords. In the Crowley deck, this is known as the card of Science. In the Waite illustration we see here, we see that the boat is sailing for smoother waters. In the language of tarot, the Swords represent the powers of the mind, while the water represents our emotions. Here, the Swords ride above the water. As in science, logic rules over emotion.

This card reminds us to think clearly, and to be logical. Do not allow your emotions to rule your actions or responses. If you can keep your mind clear, you will most certainly be on your way to solving problems and journeying toward the improvement you seek.

You can read my poem about the Six of Swords on my main website.

Special Read

This week’s special read is on my personal bog, Tarot Trends. It is today’s blogpost about envy. Please read it, and leave a comment. What does envy mean to you?

Please feel free to call me throughout the holiday week for readings by phone, Skype or in person in my West Palm Beach office at 561-655-1160. Enjoy the springtime!

Until next week,

Tarot by Christiana Weekly Newsletter March 28, 2012

Christiana — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:37:21 +0000

It’s Wednesday again, so it’s time for another newsletter.

I would love to hear from you to find out what sort of weekly features you would like to see in this newsletter. Would you like more tarot information, or perhaps psychic predictions about current events? Let me know!

This past week has been really terrific. I have received some great feedback from my webinars, and from Tarot Circle.

Laura had this to say. “Your idea for developing a relationship with your cards was nothing short of brilliant. Simple enough to feel do-able and yet personal enough to be meaningful and rewarding.”

From Lisa, who attended a webinar, we have this. “I had such a great experience with your class Christiana. Not only did I learn a lot, this class also helped confirm my growing knowledge of Tarot....there's always that bit of doubt which holds you back...tonight that doubt was replaced by joy - Thanks so much and it was so great being with other Tarot enthusiasts.”

This week’s events are all in Palm Beach County, so I hope to see many of my Florida friends. For my friends in other places, remember that we have many webinars scheduled for April. Find them at http://tarotbychristiana.org and http://tarotcircle.org. Private tarot instruction is always available via Skype or Webex.

Your Weekly One-Card Tarot Reading

This week’s tarot card is The High Priestess.

This card advises spiritual study and meditation. It suggests a need for peace and serenity in your life. You must take the time to look deeply within yourself – all the answers you need are already there. Study sacred wisdom, but also access your own wisdom, and your own connection to the divine. You have the potent ability to manifest what you want and need – make sure you use that ability wisely.

This Week’s Special Read

For this week’s special read, we are going to dive into the archives.

A few years back I wrote the “Sneak Peek” column for the now-defunct Tarot World Magazine. I would find artists with tarot decks in progress and interview them to give a sneak peek of an as-yet unpublished deck.

Artist Marie White has recent published her much-anticipated Mary-el Tarot. Check out my interview with her. We spoke a few years ago, when the deck was not yet complete. Now the deck is available, and has already made an appearance at one of my tarot classes!

Keep In Touch

Please friend me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter, add me on Google+ and connect with me on LinkedIn! Call me at 561-655-1160 or 866-99TAROT. I am always happy to hear from you!

Have a great week!

Free Webinar
The Four Elements and the Major Arcana
6:00-7:15 pm EST

The four elements of life are Earth, Air, Fire and Water. They each have metaphysical properties as well as physical properties.

The four elements correlate with the four suits of the Minor Arcana of the tarot. They also correlate with individual cards of the Major Arcana.

The term “Major Arcana” means “Greater Secrets.” The twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana contain the most spiritual messages and lessons of the tarot, and tell the story of our journey through life.

When we learn the elemental associations for each of the Major Arcana cards, we have a clear way to understand these important cards.

This 75 minute webinar will help the tarot student more fully understand the four elements. It will provide a deeper way to comprehend each of the Major Arcana cards. The student will be able to more fully interpret the Major Arcana cards, whether reading for yourself or others.

For more information and log in, visit here.

One Card Tarot Reading
This week’s One Card Tarot Reading is…

The Six of Pentacles

The Six of Pentacles is about sharing your resources with others. It is the card of charity. It suggests that you are successful enough to share your time, energy and other resources with those who deserve them. It also advises that if you are in a difficult situation you should ask for what you need, and know that you will receive appropriate resources.

We all have times of need, and times of bounty. If we share with each other, we will all always have enough.

This Week’s Special Read

I actually have two special posts to share with you! I want to welcome Joanne Matthew to my non-tarot blog at The Dark Forest. She has shared a post about prayer that you might enjoy. Check it out here.

I also wrote a guest blog for the Tarot Guild entitled “Icons and Elements” that tarot enthusiasts will enjoy! Check it out here.

Please remember I am available for readings by phone and Skype, and in my office in West Palm Beach!

Hope to see you soon.
