    Tarot card meanings in the real world: 4 of Wands

    This card has a split focus, and it shows us three layers of activity. In the first layer we see that we are looking at a stage. The only thing real are the four sticks and the garland that is tied between the outer two of those.  While the outer two sticks create a frame, the inner two create a narrow gateway that allow one or two people to pass through at a time. This makes this a checkpoint or a border crossing, but this works on a metaphysical scale just as it would on the physical plane. This could just as easily represent the gateway between the human world of awareness and the faerie realm. The four sticks are the tangible part of reality in this card, and we can see that by the horizontal lines that mark the intersection of the stage and the painted curtain that serves as a backdrop for the play. In truth, the entire scene is an illusion. This is both a warning and a goal. The girls welcoming us in and the people dancing in the background — even the bridge — these are all illusory.  These are goals to aspired to, but they also can show how people of wealth and taste lose their way once they have money and they turn their attentions and interests to self-pleasure instead of making their world a better place. This is the intermediate layer, but in the background we have the looming castle that serves as a representation for the nature of this walled garden. Unlike the Ace of Coins, which is a highly personal view of the walled garden, this image shows us the estate or state of affairs for what it is. This is an empire or a civilization. This could be a family or a company, a government, or a region.  This card, taken as a whole, shows us a walled garden at peace and also prosperous. While we are being beckoned to enter, we must leave our baggage behind if we are to pass through the gates, as there is only so much room. Also, we must find a way through the veil that separates our tangible existence from the permanent lands of happiness. And the answers to this are hidden in the courses we teach at The Academy of Divination. Tarot card Keywords for study: parties, welcoming, house warming, celebrations, weddings, square, fixed energy, fortress, family, friends, activity, enthusiasm, generosity magnanimity, brand, branding, market dominance, reliability, inclusion, sunshine.

    Tarot card meanings in the real world: 5 of Wands

    The 5 of Wands comes up in your tarot spread. What does it mean? How do you know how to read this card? What do you tel your client if this card comes up in the past, present, or future? What if the 5 of Wands is an outcome? What kind of circumstance, environment, or attitude does the 5 of Wands represent? All of these answers and more are explained in today's mystery school tarot lesson by Dusty White.  The visuals on this card are so minimalistic that we have to really dig for meaning. But in the process, we can’t simply make things up. Whatever we say about this card, it has to match what is in the image. So we have a bunch of boys in a tight group, and they seem to be friendly to each other, but we have to examine the group as a whole, as well as the posture and attitude of each one, if we are to understand the various meanings of this card in a reading. I want to start with the central figure. He is wearing red in the Rider version of this card. He is also the only one wearing a hat. Notice how he is the only one of the five who is completely in his own world. Everyone else is looking at someone else, or someone else’s stick. This one individual is confident, self-composed, and examining his stick like someone would examine the cards life has dealt them.  Notice his stance. He is balanced and upright. His body language reinforces the notion of his self-assurance and stability. He hols is stick with both hands, but away from him as he examines it. If this boy represented your client in a reading, it would sho that they are an island of sanity and calm in the middle of chaos.  Tarot card keywords for study: activity, enthusiasm, disorder, chaos, clown show, youth, youth sports, comparison, uncertainty, seeking acceptance, peer pressure, mob mentality, small groups, discordance, loud noises, inclusion.

    Tarot card meanings in the real world: 2 of Wands

    The 2 of Wands comes up in your tarot spread. What does it mean? How do you know how to read this card? What do you tell your client if this card comes up in the past, present, or future? What if the 2 of Wands is an outcome? What kind of circumstance, environment, or attitude does the 2 of Wands represent? All of these answers and more are explained in today's mystery school tarot lesson by Dusty White. Looking at the card, we have a wealthy merchant standing atop his castle walls. He has purposefully taken steps to get away from his family and friends, his associates, and any servants or other distractions that may cloud his judgment. The globe is a metaphor for where is mind is at. His eyes are not on the lands around him, which represent his community and potentially his estate. His eyes are on the horizon — but once again, look closely and he is not looking at the mountains or anything familiar. He is looking out at the empty sea and comparing his view to a giant map of everything that is.   This image is showing us someone whose awareness is far from the moment. This is the antithesis of the 8 of Coins, where a laborer happily focuses only on what is in front of him right here and right now. In that card, even the coins he just struck are a distant memory — even as they are within reach. That man only focuses on what is in front of him and what he is doing. The weakness of this card is being too detached from one’s current environment. While this person is a visionary or an idea man — someone with great vision and intellectual capacity, this Sagittarian global perspective runs the risk of not seeing the trees right in front of him because his mind is on the forest at large.  This is a great card for big picture perspectives but it is horrible for paying attention to the here and now, and what needs to be done to pay the rent or feed your family tonight. This card only works when you have the time and resources to survive while you go on a mental vacation to put everything into perspective. Tarot card Keywords for study: critical thinking, thinker, analysis, planning, observation, intellectual, entrepreneur, visionary, vantage point, perspective, view from the top, executive, C-suite, CEO, CIO, COO, bay, coast, mountains, elevation, ambition, morning, Sagittarius, Jupiter, expansion

    Which tarot spread should I use? (for each type of question)

    Tarot spreads are organizational charts. They really do make reading cards *so much easier* but no one really explains that. It is just assumed in books that you use spreads or you do not. And this is part of the reason why so many people get 9or give) crappy tarot readings — and as a result the general public has no belief that we can help them. I know — I have been reading cards for fifty years! I also have been teaching PROFESSIONAL TAROT READERS since 1992. This is just what I do. So, which spread sSHOULD you use and why? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each type spread _ and why shouldn't you just grab a book of ten thousand tarot spreads and choose whichever one feels right at the moment and see what happens? There are just so many things wrong with that scenario, but the shortest possible version is that you don't just grab a random tool you have never used and start trying to fix something when you are not familiar with that tool. At least that is not what the professionals do. So this is a FREE LESSON FROM THE MYSTERY SCHOOL that introduces you to the why's when's and how's of choosing the right tarot spread for the reading (for the job at hand). What you learn in this session is how professional tarot readers earn $100 and more an hour. Please take notes. This is my job: to teach you how to be a BETTER TAROT READER THAN ANYONE ELSE. if you have any questions just show up to our free tarot workshops every Saturday on Zoom: And check out our academy at — we are here for YOU.

    A Fresh Look at The Fool (Tarot Card Meanings Made Easy!)

    Here's what The Fool tarot card means in a reading, tarot spread, or tarot manifestation.  There is no memorization needed. There is no formula to figure out. This is a super-easy, super-powerful lesson.   In today's easy tarot lesson we look to see the screws hidden in The Fool card. First off, can we derive meaningful rom the NAME of this card? Well . .  yes, and no. But surprisingly yes. And what is up with that dog? Where did that dog come from? (hint: this was not in the original art, but was added way back around 1450 CE). And why a cliff? The old versions mentioned nothing about a cliff! This was something Arthur Edward Waite changed. This is not in the core meaning of the card! But that is a clue in and of itself. We are in fact reading the modern images, not the "ancient" ones (hint: the tarot is NOT from Egypt — the pyramids are). But there is a lot of information hidden in plain sight right there in the image. THERE IS NOTHING TO MEMORIZE. The secrets of The Fool tarot card are right in front of us. look at the way he is dressed. By the way, he has some of the fanciest clothing in all of the tarot. Did you know he was a prince? (of sorts) Also look at his bag, the rose in his hand (it is the only white rose in the [ "Rider" } Waite-Smith tarot). We examine the secrets of this card, and also how to LEARN any card (not memorize keywords) by learning to look at the images. This is a short but powerful revelation of what The Fool tarot card means in any spread you cast. Take notes, because after this lesson you will never go back to guessing again.   Also, if you have any questions, we are always here to help! Ask us at !   Thanks for being here!
