Tarot Visions

Rose Red and Jaymi invite Winifred from AwenTree in East Hampton, MA to talk shop, literally. AwenTree carefully curates the store with a carefully crafted eye to the unique: blending unique consignment pieces with popular items from traditional companies. Winifred gives us insight into how a store gets turned into a community center; how to approach proprietors to read in-store; and discusses how she weaves her unique healing modalities into her personal practices. Her big tip to reading in stores is for readers to build a following so they can then bring them into the stop. It’s a relationship to help promote each other. In addition to running a wonderful store, Winifred started a new online outreach community component to awentree. Called the Witching Well, this “virtual gathering space” reaches out to solitary pagans wanting to connect and learn more about the path. Sadly, the group is closed at the moment, as she is running the first series by Founding Members. Winifred plans to re-open around September

Rose Red hosted a wonderful Podcasting 101 class during PantheaCon 2019. She invited Jaymi and Michael along to discuss what it takes to put together Tarot Visions Podcast. We did a live recording of the class using some cool new technology Michael brought with him. Please note this class was 90 minutes long, so the recording is a bit longer than what you are used to.“Hello, listeners. Michael Charboneau here with a bonus podcast recording tip: When you are using recording equipment, whether it's a laptop, your phone, or a stand-alone digital recorder, remember to make sure it's fully charged or plugged in, or to have fresh batteries nearby.  Unfortunately, my digital recorder's batteries died at this point in the recording. We will have the rest of the audio programs listed in the show notes, and we pick up recording when we are talking zoom.us and recording a session online.”

Convention season means a lot of fun in compressed days, and awkward recording schedules (thanks for your patience). We bring you this update live from PantheaCon 2019 in the Divination Suite. Listen to us babble on about many divination items. Karen Kresber shares with us her wonderful techniques. And we get the room involved by sharing their best PantheaCon memories. We know the sound is not the best due to the live nature. Enjoy our silliness!

Rose Red and Jaymi bring Vyviane Armstrong owner of Land Sea Sky Travel onto the show to discuss her fantastic online classes and conferences. They discuss what the conferences and classes are as well as the Pilgrimages Vyviane offers through Land Sea Sky Travel. The Classes and Conferences begin Jan 19 and run all year long.  When you sign up for each conference, you not only get all the video and audio recordings but you also get a lot of handouts and resources. If you are unable to attend part or all of the classes, you still get to download the materials. This makes the Land Sea Sky Travel conferences a wonderful experience. Each conference and class has a sliding scale cost. Presenters, panelists, and other help are paid to make these events possible. Everyone gets a fair wage. When you sign up for the classes and conferences, you get a ticket to a live event, a packet of information to share with your local community, and a recording of the event... along with even more materials. Vyviane held the first

Jaymi and Rose catch up after the holidays. So much good divination goodness to come in 2019. In the first 6 months, they’ll be attending (and teaching at some) PantheaCon, Northwest Tarot Symposium (NWTS), and the Readers Studio.

Happy winter holidays everyone! Rose and Jaymi discuss their Yule/Solstice plans and talk about what this time of the year means to them. Rose plans to do some readings, and stay up all night on solstice day. She also will be attending a coven gathering where they swap presents. Rose endorses celebrating the holiday season by buying from local, and small business companies, like Izzy Swanson’s etsy store where she got some wonderful incense.  Jaymi still isn’t sure what the winter holidays mean to her. She’s searching for the balance between all that goes on. Jaymi did get to swap readings on a wonderful solstice spread created by Callie French. In addition to being a wonderful artist (she illustrated the Rana George Lenormand and the 2019 Readers Studio poster), Callie runs the Tarot Bistro page on Facebook. You can read more about what Jaymi’s reading said by visiting Inner Compass Tarot. Jaymi also did another Solstice Reading from Joanna Powell Colbert’s eNewsletter.

Get excited peeps! Readers Studio begins today and Rose Red and Jaymi have spent the past week preparing for their New York adventures. Jaymi focused on her health and did a few facials (pictures on Facebook). Rose tore through her tarot collection to bring her favorite decks, rechecked her packing lists, and made sure it all would fit in her suitcase. And what’s this? We brought show favorite, Benebell Wen, to discuss how she prepared for this year’s conference. Benebell has the honor of speaking on the big stage Saturday morning. While she wasn’t able to discuss her master class, she did take us through her thought process for selecting class materials. We also get sidetracked for a bit on writing and writing styles. Thanks for listening and we look forward to bringing back stories from our trip.(Note: there may be some light cussing in this week’s episode.)
