Hi Folks! I have so many exciting things going on right now!; First, let me tell you that I now have the technology to make video recordings of Skype tarot readings and make them available for you to download! I have been working on finding the right technology to do this for a while.; I had a few disappointments along the way, but I am really happy with this new system. Consider having a Skype reading, or a Skype party, from wherever in the world you might be!
I am in the process of upgrading a lot of my technology, as well as developing new classes. Get ready for even more free and low-cost webinars, as well as other new services.
In the meantime, I am available for Skype and phone readings, so give me a call at 561-655-1160.
We had our first tarot class at Panera Bread in West Palm Beach. The manager, Jill, was a gracious hostess. It turns out that Panera has a policy of welcoming Meetup groups. Beginning this fall, I will hold a series of tarot Meetups in Paneras throughout South Florida.
Because of the substantial computer upgrades I am forced to reschedule the remainder of my July webinars; of course the upgrade process always takes longer than we hope it will! I apologize for any inconvenience, but make sure you keep current with the schedule of free and premium webinars in August and beyond.
The official release date for my new book, Tarot Tour Guide, is July 19th. Barring any delays, the electronic version and large-size paperback version will be available on Amazon, as well as through the publisher, Jupiter Gardens Press, beginning July 19. For those of you who want signed copies mailed to you, I will let you know as soon as I have received my shipment. Of course, I can't wait to see it! Joanne Matthew received an advance review copy, and has written a really fun review. You can read it on my community blog, here.
I want to show you a great photo sent to me by Mary K. Greer. She was at the Tarot Master conference in Brazil, while I was presenting via Skype. Here’s what my presentation looked like.
I hope you are having a great summer, and that we will speak soon! Please remember to call me at 561-655-1160, or 866-99TAROT! I will look forward to hearing from you!

Hello Friends! I am happy to announce that we have four webinars this week, starting with a Premium Webinar tonight.
Before I tell you about that, let me tell you about two great things that happened this past week.
First was my presentation at the Tarot Masters conference in Brazil. My topic was "Tarot, the Four Elements and Your Spiritual Journey," which is also the subtitle of my new book, Tarot Tour Guide, which will be available later this month.
I appeared at Tarot Masters via Skype because I couldn't get a visa in time. Since most of the attendees have Portuguese as a first language, I worked with an excellent translator. Even with the language barrier and the geographic distance between us, I really felt the energy of this enthusiastic group of tarot readers. It was a real pleasure to work with them, and I look forward to meeting them in person one day, and getting to know them online over the coming months.
For my career, this marks my first international conference, and my first time teaching in a language other than English. I can't help but be a tiny bit proud of this accomplishment, and I am so grateful to the crew at US Games for making it happen, and to Mary K Greer for her kind support.
On the local front, I taught a class at Panera Bread in West Palm Beach last night. I have to say it was a huge amount of fun. Soon,I will be able to hold classes in towns throughout South Florida, instead of just one location!
Teaching webinars with Webex is a great joy as well. Again, it is amazing how easy it is to feel the energy of tarot fellowship with people who are many geographic miles away!

Free Tarot Webinar
The Four Elements and the Major Arcana
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.
Your One-Card Reading for the Week
Your one-card reading for the week is the Knight of Swords. This card is like a breath of fresh air. Anything that has been stalled or stagnant can receive new life, and new motion. This card can also indicate a need for study or research. It can predict travel. It suggests that now is the time to reveal the truth, and to do the right thing.
You can read my poem about this card here.

I hope all my US friends had a fun, safe and meaningful national holiday yesterday. Because of the holiday, this newsletter is a day late. Next week we will return to publication on Wednesdays.
My family and I enjoyed the fireworks in West Palm Beach. If there is one thing West Palm knows how to do, it's throw a party!
This week has some interesting "firsts" for me. I have been invited to be a presenter at the "Tarot Masters" tarot symposium in Brazil. It was too late for me to get a Brazilian travel Visa, but it seems I will be presenting via Skype! This may be the beginning of a lot of new international opportunities for me!
On Monday, July 9th, at 3 pm EST, I will be a guest on BlogTalkRadio, on Mimiraj's Metaphysical Madness! Follow this link to listen in!
On Tuesday, July 10th at 7 pm I will be teaching a free class in the private meeting room at Panera Bread, Village Blvd in West Palm Beach.
