Tarot readings at the Mind Body Spirit definitely ramps up your expereince and you meet wonderful people too!

Lending a hand to many fundraisers also gives you much experince. Rotary Xmas event in 2014 was huge at Docklands.

As you can see I love learning, I encourage it. See all my other workshops and studies that I have accomplished in the Astrology, Numerology and Healings sections of this website.

"Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.
He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend,
loses much more, he who loses a friend lose all.
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
but beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others,
you can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
Friends, you and me... you bought another friend... and then there were 3...
we started our group... our circle of friends...
and like that circle... there is no beginning or end...
Yesterday is history... Tomorrow is mystery... Today is a gift"
-Eleanor Roosevelt

A Few of My Favourite Tarot Books

There are many Tarot Books out there, I suggest collecting many and using them all as reference books. Searching for Tarot books at second hand book shops is also a fun thing to do.

I recommend to all my Tarot students once they finish with my program to purchase Mary K. Greer book "Tarot For Yourself." It's an excellent workbook that will take you through various exercises using various Tarot decks.

Another is Rachel Pollack's book "78 Degrees of Wisdom." This a great book for reversed card meanings and a must have book for every Tarot readers book shelf.

There is also, Eileen Connolly and her "Tarot For the Journeyman." More fun workbooks to work through. I also like Eileen's Tarot deck. I have to say that Mary K., Rachel and Eileen are some of my favourite Tarot Masters! Christine Jeffe is another of my favourite authors and I have all books as well!

And because I am now a Published Author myself, I have to add my book "Tarot Distinctions" as another of my favourite books! In fact, many of my clients call my book their Tarot Bible! I am very honoured. :)

How to become a Professional Member of the Tarot Guild of Australia

I have designed my Tarot in Action program to cover all the different modalities one needs to know about for you to then work through the transition process and become a professional Member of the Tarot Guild of Australia.

I recommend doing a lot of Tarot readings practice for friends and families. You will also need to read a few different books to gain a variety of knowledge from different masters of Tarot like Mary Greer, Rachel Pollack, or some psychology books by Carl Jung, etc...

Doing other workshops ie: Counseling, Astrology, Kabbalah or even Crystals and Dream workshops wouldn't go astray either. All these different modalities will assist you in understanding a wider view point.

With a couple of years of focusing your efforts and with the support of the Tarot Guild mentors, the door is open for you to enter a wonderful world Tarot on a Professional level.

The Tarot Guild run monthly workshops on the 2nd Saturday of the month covering a wide variety of subjects on Tarot.
