Readers Studio 2009 - Wednesday, May 6, 2009 | PsychicPower.com

I just got back from a three day Tarot conference in Newark, New Jersey. This is the second time that I have attended - the first time was in 2003, which happened to be the very first time that this conference was held.

The conference was hosted by Ruth Ann and Wald Amberstone of The Tarot School (www.tarotschool.com). They are well known for their ability to teach the Tarot in new and innovative ways, and they encourage all students of the Tarot to work with this tool of empowerment in new and different ways.

There are three presenters each year - this years presenters were James Wanless (creator of the Voyager Tarot, www.voyagertarot.com) , Geraldine Amaral (co-author of Tarot Celebrations, www.tarotcelebrations.com), and Rachel Pollack (author of Seventy-Eight Degrees of  Wisdom, creator of the Shining Tribe Tarot, www.RachelPollack.com ).

Each presenter brings a new way of looking at the cards, and there is considerable time spent in actually doing readings using the new techniques so that they become part of each readers wisdom self.

James is a wonderful speaker, with a very open, inclusive way of looking at life and the cards. I have wanted to meet and study with James for some time, so this was a real high point for me!

Geraldine's "Tarot Celebrations" was one of the first books in my Tarot library, and I still refer back to it. She is a very gentle, very knowledgible teacher and reader.

Rachel Pollack is a true Tarot Master. I met her at the 2003 Readers Studio,  and was quite impressed by her wisdom and her sense of humor and attitude towards life. This year she introduced the character of "Dr. Appollo", and lead the conference attendees in one of the most amazing Tarot exercises ever. Each reader developed an "alternate persona" - including forgein accent, and read for their partners.

As readers, we are always looking for ways to improve our readings. For those who read the  Tarot, this conference is a wonderful option.
