Here are some of our favourite Tarot-related sites:
Sign up as a friend for updates on my Tarot Academy blog on LiveJournal.
This is particularly interesting for Tarot Readers or those with some knowledge of Tarot. Sign up with LiveJournal to create your own!
For pictures and reviews of decks and books - this is the best site we have found and use as a constant reference. They also have an amazing worldwide Forum for those interested in all aspects of Tarot. A great community and part of our way of learning about new decks.
As a member of (and an Endorsed Reader with) The Tarot Association of the British Isles - Mary loves this group - go to the site to find out more about them, their readers, their forums and their annual conferences.
Wald & Ruth Ann Amberstone at The Tarot School are a wonderful couple who have been spreading the word of Tarot for many years through their website, courses, trainings and publications. They are based in New York and run an annual Readers Studio.
And here are some of our favourite non-Tarot-related sites:
This is an amazing service that we use for our global communication. Very simply it allows us to:
- create emails with embedded videos in - fondly known as vmails - so that rather than just typing all the text - and you reading it - we can video our message and make it available to you. The only thing you need is Windows Media which is available on most PCs and laptops issued in the last few years. Even greater news is that it connects you to view an online link so it doesn't clog up your in box, takes up no space on your hard drive, there is no risk of viruses and you can access your video messages any time to suit you.
- connect globally by Internet video meetings - also known as web meetings or webinars. This means we can set up a meeting either 1:1 or with a group of people. Anytime, anyplace, anywhere. Fantastic news as it means that you can access people worldwide at a mutually agreed time. We use this for "face to face" readings over the web, or for meetings of Tarot enthusiasts where we can share ideas and "meet" online. Also great for training - how to access the best training and support globally without leaving the comfort of your home, your office, your laptop - wherever you are in the world.
We've used this to build a global network or clients, friends and family. Imagine it . . . meeting up with friends and contacts world-wide. Americans and Canadians drinking their afternoon coffee, the UK people having a glass of wine or cup of tea before setting out for the evening and the New Zealanders with their early morning orange juice! We've done it and we love it.
To find out more or to sign up - click on the link in the heading. Amazingly, once I signed into this - which I did in order to use it, I found it actually paid me to use it and share it with others. They don't advertise, other than via their users who they then reward. Brilliant.
This is a UK based provider we have been using for a number of years to provide our conference folders, exhibition bags, etc. Visit their site by clicking on the link in the header for more information and be sure to mention our name! We've got them to provide us with conference folders for large events and their service is excellent.
