Hi, welcome back to Moon Beaming, a space where we discuss the mundane and the magical,

the material and the aetheric, the conscious and the unconscious, and give you a brilliant

intuitive, sensitive, empowered, creative, visionary, tools, tactics, frameworks, and practices

to help you navigate your life and thrive as your amazing self. Yes, you, yeah, you. I am your host,

Sarah Faith Gautestiner, and since 2014, wait, no, never mind, math and numbers in time, what are

those things? Since 2004, tarot has been in my life as a helper, a friend, a guide, and mirror.

After being a scholar of the tarot and studying it for about seven years, learning about it,

giving free readings, being minorly obsessed with it, I was a professional tarot reader.

I was a psychic, a channel for clients. Sometimes I would channel dead people. Sometimes I would

channel spirit guides. Sometimes I just was Hello psychic. I did that for about seven years,

and now I will teach about the tarot, about esoteric stuff, but also about life skills stuff,

because that's what we need to navigate reality. Recently, I read a book. It was someone talking

about their life, and the author was describing the way he felt the first time he bought a computer

and learned to program it in the late 80s, like early 90s. He said he couldn't comprehend

how or why, but when he was introduced to the computer and coding it and programming it, even

back in the day, he bought it at Radio Shack. Many of you probably have no idea what that is,

but here we are. He just got it. It didn't require any schooling or formal training. It felt like a

language he intrinsically understood. Honestly, that's how I feel about the tarot. There was nothing

else other than art and reading and language and nature and energy and psychic stuff.

Those things, feelings, emotions, those are all the things that just felt so easy and so

like no barriers to being with. And quite frankly, that's why I've never taught a 101 class,

like how to read the tarot, because I didn't learn tarot in a linear way.
