StaarCon begins this Friday.

The idea for StaarCon began more than two years ago. Our goal was to produce an annual tarot conference in South Florida, to be held each January. Of course, current circumstances have forced us to move our first event to an online only platform.

We have chosen Accelevents to be our conferencing platform. We are pleased with how robust and interactive this platform is!

One thing many of us learned during this past year is how important our online connections are. Most of us have enjoyed a Zoom birthday party or visited with friends via FaceTime.

We know that attending an online conference is not the same as being there, but it certainly is the next best thing.

The second annual StaarCon is scheduled for January 21 through January 23, 2022, to be held as a hybrid event. We will be in person at the Doubletree Hotel and Executive Meeting Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and streaming live online on the Accelevents platform.

Tickets for this weekend’s conference are still available. If you haven’t yet gotten yours, here are some things to consider.

We are proud and pleased to have some of the best teachers and authors from around the globe presenting at StaarCon 2021, as well as some exciting fresh new talent.

StaarCon 2021 includes a full online psychic fair, with readers and exhibitors. You can shop for card decks, books, and other wonderful items. You can have a reading with our many talented readers.

Our lounges will open for networking and conversation, using video and chat.

All classes included with your ticket package will be recorded and available for you to watch for thirty days after StaarCon 2021 ends, on Accelevents.

We will also have discussion groups, ceremonies and entertainment!

You can visit the StaarCon website to learn more, and to get your tickets. If you have any questions, please call or text me at 561-655-1160.

The StaarCorner

The last episode of StaarCast features a fascinating conversation with Frank Kwiatkowski. If you want to know about how Frank finds spiritual healing, awakening, and Beatles songs with tarot, you must listen to this episode!

You can watch the video on YouTube, or download the episode wherever you get your podcasts.

I am Available for Readings

So many people are asking me if I am busy this week in preparation for the conference. The truth is, I have been busy all year in preparation for the conference!

That means that, until the conference begins on Friday morning, I am still available to work with you.

We can do your reading by phone, Skype, FaceTime or Zoom. You can book directly on my website or call or text 561-655-1160.

If you haven’t yet gotten your New Year reading, there is still plenty of time to see what is around the corner, and to set your intentions and make your plans for a year of growth and success!

The StaarCon Mission

Here are the goals for StaarCon, for now, and for the future. These are good goals for us to embrace in our personal lives as tarotists, as well.

Educational Excellence

We will provide you with a true educational opportunity. Wherever you are in your journey as a tarotist, diviner or spiritual seeker, we want to help you get to the next level of understanding and confidence in your practice. We will do this by offering great teachers, and a variety of classes that are immersive, experiential and informative.

A Broad Scope of Topics

We are a tarot convention. Yet, those who love tarot enjoy many important mystical topics. At StaarCon you can learn about many types of cartomancy and divination, as well as spiritual practices from a variety of cultures.

Community Fellowship

We will create an environment that fosters the growth of community, as well as personal growth. At StaarCon you will make new friends, expand your network, and renew longstanding connections. The fellowship created by the study of sacred art and spiritual symbolism is like no other.

Appreciation of Our Artists

We will shine a light on the artists of tarot and cartomancy. It is through the inspiration and talent of our artists that we are able to connect with Universal wisdom in our divination practices. At StaarCon you will have an opportunity to meet some of our most treasured artists, and to appreciate their creations.

The Week in Review

This week I took a deep dive into the Justice card of tarot on my blog.

As we look toward February, there will be an entirely new schedule of free tarot meetups and classes on my YouTube channel. Plan to join us there!

From Around the Web

Check out a few of our StaarCon presenters!

John Hijatt has a Runic View of 2021 for us. He will be presenting about Bindrunes this weekend.

Marion Kirk has a great YouTube channel. She will be presenting about the connection between tarot and music.

Toni Puhle is the founder of the World Divination Association. Did you think tarot was the only tool for divination? Check out the wealth of possibilities beyond tarot!

Toni will be presenting Kipper Cards at StaarCon.

Cards for Your Consideration

This week, in celebration of StaarCon, it is time to consider all the cards, and all the ways we use them.

I got an oracle deck for a friend as a present. Her question to me was, “How do I use these?”

The great thing about oracle decks is that no prior skill or knowledge is needed. You can simply pull a card for reflection and focus.

Tarot can require study and can offer a lifetime of exploration and learning. Yet even a novice can find wisdom in a card they are seeing for the very first time.

Systems like Lenormand and Kipper often offer more fortune-telling than inspiration, yet can be fun, thought-provoking, and accurate.

There are also rune cards, and other types of cartomancy. One can even do readings with a regular deck of playing cards!

To be able to shuffle a deck of cards in divination is to invite the universe to speak with us.
