Avsnitt

  • After a planning meeting of the Cardslingers Coast to Coast podcast, I asked Jaymers and Lis about what to record on my own podcast. Here are some of their thoughts, and mine, about holiday retail burnout, rest, unfiltered opinions about the “algorithm”, and more.

    Episode 44, Talk about your readings, came out in October, so it’s been two months since the last episode. https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hilary-parry-haggerty/episodes/Episode-44-Talk-about-your-readings-e2ahvne

    PS, the birth and year cards episode was Episode 27, go check it out! https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/hilary-parry-haggerty/episodes/Episode-27-Birth-cards--year-cards--and-bibliomancy-from-How-to-Read-Tarot-e1t4lg1/a-a1uh13d

  • Some people wonder if they are “allowed” to talk about their readings after they are complete. I don’t know about you, but I am a blabbermouth sometimes with my own information… and that’s exactly what your reading is: your information. It is for you to do whatever you wish with it. Ignore it. Do your own thing. Take it to heart… or not. Share it with your friends… or not. But that choice to share or not to share doesn’t rest with me as the reader… it rests with you, and you alone.

  • You don’t need a professional reader to host a party like that of your very own! (Though, ahem, I DO do party readings… and you can get on my schedule here).

    If you’re lacking a reader, why not host a party like this for yourself, and you and your friends can be your own private psychics for each other? It’s an absolutely wonderful way to learn how to tap into your own intuition (and yes, before you ask, you definitely have it), and the party setting will help you relax and have a little fun with the concept. While I take my profession very seriously, that doesn’t mean I don’t have a lot of fun and what I like to call “sacred silliness” with it, too.

    First of all, different people have different natural talents. This is true for intuition, too. We all don’t intuit in the same way. While one person may be very good at just “knowing” something is up in the pit of their stomachs (what is called claircognizance – clear knowing), another person may be getting specific images or a picture show going on behind their eyelids (clairvoyance – one of the most well-known [and easily described] clairs), while yet another person swears that they heard something no one else heard (clairaudience – this happens to be one of MY clairs). Often, people will have a mix of at least two clairs. Read about the many types of Clair here.

    This episode is based on the article How to Host Your Own "Be a Psychic" Party. Read it here:

  • Is tarot the answer to everything? Life, the universe?

    Short answer is no, tarot is a tool just like any other, and cannot be the be all end all.

  • In this episode, Hilary and Jaymi talk about their relationships with social media platforms.

    The summary is, don’t chase the algorithm: it’s a game no one seems to win.

    My advice to other tarot readers who are looking to use social media to grow their business is to be yourself. Don't try to be someone you're not. Be genuine and authentic, and people will be drawn to you.

    There’s no formula, at least not in my opinion. Everyone has to figure out their relationship with social media for themselves.

    We also pull a tarot card each to inform our relationship with social media and it’s eye-opening (man, I love tarot!).

  • Stories are POWERFUL. It takes a lot to dismantle the incorrect ones, especially if you’ve been telling yourself the same ones for years.

    Especially powerful are the stories that keep you from going crazy that you tell yourself when you are in survival mode. Usually, they are stories of denial, of convincing ourselves out of what we are feeling or intuiting so as not to deal with the ugly truth that sometimes rears its head. Denial is immeasurably powerful in those moments, but then so is the moment of truth that cuts through all that denial.

    This episode is about a client reading that eventually cut through all the denial.

  • This is an episode inspired by our reluctance to record the Tower card deep-dive on the Cardslingers Coast to Coast podcast.

    It’s also an article from the Tarot by Hilary blog archives. You can read it here: http://tarotbyhilary.com/dont-shoot-the-messenger/

    You may want to also check out the Cardslingers Coast to Coast podcast that i cohost with Jaymi Elford and Melissa Cynova, specifically our card deep dive series.

  • If you'd like to watch this episode instead with a full demonstration of the tapping points, you can do so on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/UGXsqXo-o8U

    Acknowledge your feelings before moving the energy

    You can change the situation or you can change how you feel about the situation.

    Tapping points:

    Side of hand for setup

    Crown of head

    Eyebrows

    Side of eye

    Under eye

    Under nose

    Under mouth

    Collarbone

    Under arm

    Wrist to wrist

    Continue with tapping points starting with Crown of head and ending with wrist to wrist together.

    In between setup and main rounds of tapping, journal about what came up for you in the setup. Use those specific words if mine are not resonating with you. The more specific you are, the more powerful and effective the tapping will be.

    Drink plenty of water, and give your body what it needs after this tapping session.

The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a combination of acupressure and positive psychology, created by Gary Craig. Verbalization of an issue while also stimulating the acupressure points creates a sense of calm within the body’s energetic systems. Tapping can be used for many issues, including pain, anxiety, phobias, and stress relief.My EFT certification was provided through the Gala Darling Method, which included 3 months of weekly classes and practice sessions facilitating tapping sessions, from February to the end of April 2022. @galadarling

  • When I was younger, I wanted to be psychic SO BADLY. This was long before I became a professional psychic (through the use of tarot cards). Long, loooong before I even knew about tarot at all.

    Not only was I obsessed with all things psychic, crying into my crystals how I was never going to be one of those elite few who seemed to be able to see through it all: people, situations, lies, manipulations, down to the cold or warm or hard truth… I was also obsessed with finding my soulmate. Long before I was truly even ready to date anyone, let alone find “the one.”

    I don’t think I’m unusual in this regard. Many classic late-80s to early-90s board games were MADE for this kind of weird obsession I had, making me think that many pre-teen to teen girls were also similarly fixated on both witchiness and finding a boyfriend.

    How to Read Tarot pages 41–42 Card of the day practice

    A new deck:

    Unboxing videos for the weekly livestream - a true unboxing where you see my live unfiltered first impressions. Work with that deck for card of the day pulls over one month Until the next unboxing with a new deck of the month

    Please note that this entire process takes about a half hour to do. Timing: 10 minutes to film, add captions to the video, and add a description, hashtags, and topics on IG/facebook

    20 minutes - Sharing to TikTok, twitter, Vero True Social, YouTube shorts. From there you can take your link from youTube shorts and share it to other platforms, using the description in IG by copying/pasting.

    Know what you want the purpose of these videos to be. If a card of the day practice is just for you and you alone, then maybe this episode isn’t for you. That’s totally okay! It is your decision whether you make your card of the day pulls public or not.

    A card of the day will not apply to everyone all the time, just as a horoscope will not apply to everyone all the time. Keep what messages resonate for you, and discard those that don’t.

    For whoever sees this and whenever they see it, what do they most need to know? To work with, not against, the algorithms.

    Trust that the message will find the person it needs to.

    Steps to creating card of the day videos

    shuffle and pull your card of the day Film your card of the day - no more than 60 seconds in length so that you can share the video to as many platforms as you want to. Adjust your feed photo, cover, description, and hashtags. Make sure to copy the description so that you can paste that same description on other platforms. Give the algorithm what it wants. Don’t ask them to click away - make it as native as possible so they don’t have to leave the app.

  • Why did I start reading tarot? I wish I could say that it was because of my willingness to serve or my attraction to the cards. It was neither of this things that first started me on my path (at least, not entirely). The seed of wanting to learn a divination system started 4 years before I received my first deck of cards (the Tarot Nova, see the story of how I received them here). But really, it was a doom-and-gloom reading given to me when I was a tween that truly started me on this path.

    I was around twelve years old enjoying a street fair. The psychic told me (I think she was a palmist, if I’m remembering correctly) I was going to jump from relationship to relationship without ever getting married and that I was going to die young (before 27 years old).

    I can vouch for Maya Angelou’s words when she says, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

  • This is an episode in a series …. the “The Major Arcana In-Depth” series! Every few weeks I will be featuring one card of the Major Arcana, from the Fool to the World. Come take a tarot journey with me!

    I just like to be alone… what is the Hermit card really about?

    Going within and just being left alone with your thoughts is something that seems trite or too simple to be truly wisdom. The Hermit tells us that the best of way of knowing ourselves and our inner truths is to be by ourselves and retreat from the noise of the outer world to hear what’s within.

    When writing about the Hermit card, I had a perfect setting for it: a rainy drizzly night in which I was home alone while hubby was out at his darts game. A perfect time to write and reflect and contemplate and read books and dream.

    It is often said that extroverts are outgoing, loud and boisterous and generally fun, great at networking and making friends and working a room. Introverts on the other hand are timid shy creatures like scared churchmice that would rather fade into the wallpaper when faced with a crowded room full of strangers. In this dualistic world, you’re said to be one or the other as your general nature or basic falling-back-to point. But really? Extroversion and introversion are truly based on what your source of energy is. As Sophia Amoruso writes in her book #GIRLBOSS: “Research over the last few years has been focused on how the two personality types are actually more defined by what energizes them. Extroverts get their energy from being around a lot of people, but introverts find large groups draining and require time alone to recharge.”

    When we come to discussing the Hermit card, it is the introverts that perk up their ears, and the extroverts that get bored! But all of us can learn a great deal from what the Hermit card has to teach us.
