This institution, now so well established, is the outgrowth of a missionary necessity. After a trial of fifteen years, it was found that, as a rule, the college graduates were not available as teachers of village schools, and as ordinary religious helpers. They were not content with the moderate salaries, nor a return to simple village life and habits. It was, therefore, voted in August, 1881, that, "in view of the want of a grade of teachers in the mission, intermediate between college graduates and the graduates of common schools, the different stations (Sidon, Abeih, Tripoli , and Zahleh) be authorized to educate a class of pupil-teachers in the high schools at the central stations of each field, and to furnish in whole or in part the cost of the board of the pupils while studying."
In accordance with this vote, Sidon station authorized Mr. W. K. Eddy to open a boarding department in the day-school for boys in Sidon, October, 188 1, the boys being chiefly from the neighbouring villages. A part of them brought their own food, and slept at the school.
About 1882, a boys' boarding-school was also opened in Suk el Gharb, Mount Lebanon, by Rev. T. S. Pond, of the Abeih station, and one at a later date, 1885, in Zahleh, by Rev. G. F. Dale, Jr., but the boarding department of the school was discontinued at his death, October, 1886, after one year's trial, for lack of a missionary superintendent.
In August, 1886, Dr. G. A. Ford, by appointment, read a paper before the mission on boys' boarding-schools. He said in part:
"In view of the suspension of Abeih Seminary, the opening of the theological seminary in Beirut, the change in the college from Arabic to English, after the Abeih Seminary was closed, and the difficulty of depending on the college for plain teachers and preachers, and there being no institution preparatory to the theological seminary where a first-class Arabic or Bible education can be obtained; and in view of the gradual disappearance of the men trained in Abeih under Mr. Calhoun, a falling off in the grade of native helpers; the drain Egypt makes on the class of highly-educated men; and the drifting of the boys' boarding schools in Sidon and Suk beyond the scope of the vote under which they were founded ; it is evident that there is need of an intermediate education for Christian workers. A similar need is felt in England and America." Dr. Ford quoted the General Assembly, the Methodists, Drs. Crosby, Cuyler, Craighead, Dykes, Spurgeon's Lay College, H. G. Guinness' Missionary Institute, and Moody's Bible Training-Schools in Chicago and Northfield.
Mr. Calhoun had said, in 1859: "To the Scriptures we give increased attention. The Bible is doing more to unfold and expand the intellectual powers and to create careful and honest thinkers, than all the science we teach, and at the same time is the chief instrument in ridding mind and heart of those hateful doctrines and traditions, which are the heritage of these sons of the Church (i. e., Greeks, Maronites and Catholics)."
The plea for an intermediate training-school was urged on the ground of enlargement, simplicity, rapidity and economy. Dr. Ford urged that two schools be opened, one a vernacular Bible training-school, excluding English; the other a thorough Arabic academic course, with English enough to enable pupils to enter the college.
In 1890 Mr. March read a paper on boys' boarding- schools, urging that the mission should set apart for this work the best man with the strongest mind and warmest heart that the mission can afford. He urged that the college course is too long and expensive, and its graduates cannot supply teachers for the common schools. In fact, up to 1890, seventy-two of the boys trained in the mission boarding-schools had become teachers in the common schools.
The mission had often discussed the need of an industrial department in our training-schools. The educated boys were leaving school with no means of support. All could not be teachers. Education of the head without the hand had unfitted them to work as their fathers had before them. What Syria needed was a body of educated men who could work as carpenters, tailors, shoemakers and farmers, and support themselves. Thus far much had been said, but nothing done. To Dr. G. A. Ford is due the credit of having made the ideal actual. In June, 1893, the mission voted approving the establishment of an industrial orphanage for boys, under evangelical management and American superintendence, and asking for an endowment of $25,000, apart from the cost of property, building and equipment. In 1894, Dr. Ford presented an elaborate paper on industrial training, and in January, 1895, it was agreed that industrial training be begun as an integral part of Sidon Academy, now Gerard Institute.
In 1894, $15,000 were raised: $6,500 by Mrs. Wood, $4,000 by Dr. Ford, and $4,550 by Dr. H. H. Jessup, and in 1895 the Miyeh-wa-miyeh farm was purchased, and the progress of the industrial school approved by the mission. Carpentry, tailoring, shoemaking and masonry were begun and successfully carried on. Eight thousand dollars was expended for land, $4,000 for additional buildings, $1,000 for implements, $1,000 for raw materials for trades, and $1,000 for running expenses the first year. Mrs. George Wood of New York, who bad already munificently given towards the erection of Wood Hall for the Sidon Boys' School, and the Judaideh school and dwelling-house, now gave new proofs of her broad-minded generosity. Through her aid more land was purchased. Artesian boring apparatus was imported, with the aid of Mrs. Livingston Taylor of Cleveland, who gave $4,000 for that department of the work and engineers came from America and made successive borings for water. Much the most successful one is in the campus of Wood Hall. Pipes were driven down 900 feet, and a stream of pure water rose nearly to the surface from over 70P feet depth, and an hydraulic ram forces the water up to, An elevated tank, from which it flows to the Gerard Institute and the girls' boarding-school at the other end of the city, supplying all the needs of the American colony, with a surplus that could be sold to the city.
In May, 1900, the name of Sidon Academy was changed to Gerard Institute, in honour of the maiden name of Mrs. George Wood. This name covers the literary, industrial and orphan departments.
An orphan house and school building has been erected on the Miyeh-wa-miyeh farm, known as Beulah Home, and extensive irrigating works have been constructed in the valley, on the northeast, vastly increasing the value and productiveness of the farm, This farm with its wheat fields, mulberry, olive and orange orchards, is expected to yield an annual net income of at least $1,000, for the support of the orphanage. Ramapo Hall is now being erected on the farm on an elevation overlooking Sidon and the sea.
During the visit of Rev. Dr. Brown to Syria in 1902, Mrs. Wood added to her already generous benefactions the following splendidly munificent proposal:
"Having long cherished a desire to add to the permanence and scope of the Mission Training-School for Boys at Sidon, it gives me double pleasure to connect the offers I am prepared to make with the auspicious occasion of your first secretarial visit to Syria. Allow me, then, through you, to make to the mission and the Board, for the benefit of Gerard Institute, the following offer:
1. Fifteen hundred dollars in cash already loaned by me to the stock account of the industrial department of the Gerard Institute.
2. Such a sum in cash (not to exceed $10,000) as may be required to erect needful buildings at 'Dar Es Salaam.'
3. The loan of such a further sum in cash without interest, as might be required to carry out any plans I the Board and mission may decide upon, said loan being fully covered in their judgment by assets of the mission for the purpose becoming available in a few years' time.
4. The title deeds for the new building for the orphans! With reference to the consolidation of the boarding-school known as 'Beulah Home' - with the large tract of land on which it stands and the forest tract near by.
5. An annual sum (not exceeding $1,000) to cover any needed outlay towards securing more efficient instruction in the manual department.
6. An annual sum (not exceeding $1,000) to cover the cost of maintaining the orphan department with a maximum of twenty boys, including the wages of the farm overseer.
"When the plans of the mission relative to these offers shall have been matured, I shall be ready to take all requisite measures to satisfy the Board and the mission regarding the security of my offers and their permanent validity."
This offer was unanimously and cordially accepted by the Syria Mission and by the Board, so that the Gerard Institute now has a larger financial support than any other boarding school in the world connected with our work. I cannot speak too highly of the value of Mrs. Wood's intelligent, sympathetic and self-sacrificing cooperation. She has given unstintedly of her time, her strength and her money, and without her assistance the institute never could have become what it is today.
The institute is situated in the city of Sidon, but while the situation is convenient, it was too small before Mrs. Wood's offer, and it is altogether impossible from the view-point of the enlarged plans which her generosity has permitted. There can be no expansion in Sidon proper, for the adjoining property on both sides is owned by parties who will not sell, while the tract across the street is a Moslem cemetery. It is, moreover, desirable that such a school should have a larger area than would be possible in a crowded Oriental city, especially as the farm is to form a prominent feature of the work of the school. Accordingly a large tract of land has been secured about two miles from the city. It lies on the summit and slope of a high hill and commands one of the noblest views in all the East. It is a superb site for an institution ; near enough to the city to be easy of access, and yet far enough away to give ample room for development. The Beulah Home Orphanage is already established at this site, and the whole institute will be transferred to it as soon as the necessary buildings can be erected, though it is probable that some work, particularly the day-schools, will continue to be done at the old site. The industrial departments are (1) farming and gardening; (2) masonry and plastering; (3) carpentry and joining; (4) tailoring; (5) blacksmithing, etc.; (6) shoemaking.
A serious difficulty has been experienced in finding suitable Christian instructors. None of the missionaries had the requisite technical knowledge, and the resources of the institute did not permit the employment of suitable superintendents from the United States. As a temporary makeshift, therefore, arrangements were made with local tailors, carpenters, masons, etc., they to give free instruction to such boys as wished to learn their respective trades and to take the profits of the shops for their compensation. This plan has worked well enough financially. It has given foremen without cost to the institute, while on the other hand, free student labour has been a sufficient incentive to the local workmen. The difficulty is that these foremen have had, usually, no thorough training themselves, their knowledge being limited to the native methods and that they are apt to lack the patience and skill required to impart what they do know to a lot of boys who may be but languidly interested. Even more serious is the fact that such foremen, while men of excellent character, are for the most part not evangelical Protestants, so that they are unable to exert that spiritual influence which we regard as so essential. In time, it is fair to expect that graduates of the institute will become available for foremen in the various departments, and special effort should be made to develop the right men for this purpose. But for so large a school, a foreign mechanical superintendent is urgently needed, and with the added resources now made available by Mrs. Wood's offer, it is hoped that Dr. Ford can carry out his long cherished desire to obtain a foreign assistant, who will unite mechanical skill and missionary character.
The boarding section of the primary department has now been removed to the Beulah Home on the farm. The orphanage edifice has been enlarged, and now has some fifty pupils. Mr. Stuart D. Jessup has entered upon his duties as teacher in Gerard Institute in the city. Buildings are now in process of erection (1909) on the farm hill. The main building is to be known as Ramapo Hall, the funds having been given to Dr. Ford by the Ramapo Church.
In December, 1903, Mr. Stuart D. Jessup in his annual report of the institute gave some valuable facts about the training of native helpers. In this paper it was stated that of 1,019 students who have attended Gerard Institute up to 1902' 164 have taught in mission schools for from one to fourteen years, or nearly eight per year.
Of 144 native helpers now employed by the mission, forty-seven received their training in whole or in part at Gerard, twenty-eight at Suk el Gharb, twenty-three at the college, sixteen at the old Abeih Academy, six at Shweir, fourteen at other mission schools and ten had no academic training.
Of the thirty-five native preachers in the Syria Mission, ordained and licentiates, six received no academic training. Of the remaining twenty-nine, ten were trained in the old Abeih. Academy, ten at Gerard, four at Suk, three at the college, and two at other mission schools.
It is clear, then, that such schools as Gerard and Suk are a necessity as long as native Syrian teachers and helpers are needed. The teaching of English in these schools is justified, 1st, by the fact that many of the boys intend to enter the college; 2d, that those who become teachers of common schools may be able to teach the rudiments of English.
The English occupation of Egypt and the emigration of tens of thousands of Syrians to America have given the English language an impetus in these old lands of Western Asia, which obliges all schools to teach English or lose their pupils. Emigrants are constantly writing to their friends left behind in Syria, "Be sure and send your children to the American and English schools!"

If I could attribute one tagline to Dr. Rodger Nishioka, past professor of Christian education at Columbia Theological Seminary, it would be "Our faith is communally constructed." It is through rubbing shoulders with one another, telling stories of our faith to each other, and by experiencing God's incredible love in Christian communities that our youngest members grow into faith, our oldest members pass on their faith, and our families learn to practice their faith together.
It stands to good reason that if we desire to maximize these opportunities for communal construction that all the ages of our community of believers need to be together more often than not. In fact, that's how we started out.
When we look at 1st century churches, we are reminded that Hebrew multi-generational gatherings, Jesus' counter-cultural welcoming of children, slaves and outcasts, and Greco-Roman household codes all influenced the way in which early Christian house churches gathered. House churches were generally small, confined to one or two rooms in a flat-roofed building or the somewhat larger home of a wealthy member of the community. In either case there were no playrooms or kids' areas to send the kids off to. At most fifty people would be able to fit into the space available. Scripture reveals that all ages and classes of people were present and actively participating in all of the activities of the church: meals, worship, study and fellowship.
The early church strove to live into Jesus' teaching that all people were equal under the authority of God. Dr. Margaret MacDonald, dean and professor at the Atlantic School of Theology, reminds us that against all cultural norms Paul even addressed children and slaves, the lowest members of society, directly in his letters. Written to be read out loud to the whole community of faith, we can imagine the children popping up their heads and listening attentively to Paul's words that were written and spoken specifically for them.
The presence of children became even more pronounced as the house church moved past the first generation of members and began to prioritize their survival and growth through the education of their children. Since the church's beginnings all ages have consistently met intergenerationally for ministry and worship. That is, until our very recent past.
With the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther advocated for all classes of children to be taken out of the workforce and attend school, marking the beginning of the end of an intergenerational society. In 1780 Robert Raikes pioneered the Sunday school movement in Gloucester, England, to get poor children off the streets on their Sunday day off and teach them literacy using Scripture as their textbook for reading and moral living.
But it wasn't until the 20th century that the church became highly committed to age and stage education. Developmental theorists defined a public school system that separated children into developmental groupings and the church readily adopted their model as the best way to educate children in the faith. Following World War II Boomers led the demand for generational exclusivity, with new para-church movements that separated young people out of the wider body of the church and into exclusive age-defined clubs. The Sunday school followed suit with its heyday of graded classrooms and separate worship services that were considered more appropriate for children's enjoyment and learning. Doing things intergenerationally was perceived as an admission of failure and "smallness" for churches that couldn't compete on this playing field.
Yet more recent research and a rereading of developmental theorists reveal that social interaction between generations is crucial for cognitive, moral, psychosocial and faith development. Sociologists of religion agree that intergenerational faith communities play crucial roles in spiritual commitment and life-long faith formation.
In 2007 the commissioners to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Canada were challenged to consider whether the Sunday school model were still viable. At the 2018 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA), commissioners agreed to adjust to the paradigm shift towards intergenerational ministry and transition to an emphasis with resources for life-long faith formation, including intergenerational ministry.
Intergenerational ministry occurs when a congregation intentionally brings generations together in mutual serving, sharing, or learning within the core activities of the church in order to live out being the body of Christ to each other and the greater community.
More than anything, I appreciate the word intentionally. Without intentionality our assumption that we're doing great intergenerational ministry just because we come together for potlucks and seasonal events will fail us. Intentional intergenerational ministry requires a commitment to a philosophy of interpersonal interactions across generational boundaries in which a sense of mutuality and equality is encouraged between participants so that together our faith can be communally constructed.

Q: macports over http is there an easy way to run mac ports over port 80 (via proxy server)? 873 is blocked. are there any limitations to running this over port 80?

A: There are two alternative methods for syncing over HTTP instead of using rsync:

*

*Daily tarball

*Subversion repository
Both are quite easy to set up, all you need to do is to change a single line in /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf.
As of version 1.8.0, MacPorts will automatically pick up HTTP and FTP proxy settings from Mac OS X network preferences. You don't need to do anything special anymore.

A: This may be outdated, but it appers using MacPorts over port 80 requires a fair amount of work.  Basically, it amounts to setting port to use a svn server instead of rsync for the sync process.

As I said before, there are a lot of Nokian Panimo beers on the list, so, the next one is the EloWehnä III. As I'm from Bavaria wheat beers are a little bit of my speciality. I have tasted many of them, not all got a review.
I have that game going on when we are at a Finnish supermarket: Get me a beer for under n €, where n is a number between 2 and 6. So we came up with the Maku Vehnä. Their can looks pretty nice design-wise, perhaps it is some New York hipster style, or some other illustration style I'm not aware of. But yes, it looks nice.
But we are not here for judging the can, we want its content. So I poured the can into a glass and took a first nip.
Hmm. So I took a second nip. Hmm. So I took a third nip.
Wheat beer is usually and traditionally a top fermented beer maturated within the bottle. Brewers usually bring in some "yeast food" (Speise) to gain the typical wheat beer flavour.
Kloster [Kloster is German = monastery] Scheyern is a Benedictine monastery. The monks at the monastery have been brewing beer since 1119. In the beginning their beers were only available to the monks but now - which is great - everyone is able to taste them.
While sitting in a pizzeria in my hometown I was listening to a conversation a guy was having with the pizzeria owner. He was trying to convince the owner that he should switch his beer supplier to Gutmann. He argued that the wheat beer from the current supplier is simply bad and that the other supplier is just better. Ok, there could be many arguments for pro and con but it is always a matter of personal taste. Some thousands will like this beer, some thousands will prefer that beer.
Andechs, yes you know - the monastery. The place men or women go to be in the near of god. In the near of the Holdy Father brewers might be able to brew the best beer as the Holy Spirit is with them.
Kloster Andechs has a long history in beer brewing, the actually started in 1455. What will a product taste like when monks have the chance to improve their beers while the centuries passing by?


The Indian observers were Minisinks, a tribe that had inhabited this region for centuries. Soon the walkers started to run. The Indians shouted "no lunl no lunl"—there is no "r" sound in the language of the Algonquin tribes. At twenty miles the Penns had a large crowd waiting to urge the runners on. Yeates was leading followed by several men on horseback. Farther behind was Jennings with Marshall in the rear leisurely swinging a small ax. When the walkers reached Dunham Creek the map called for the walkers to swing upstream, but now determined to get as much good land as possible the walkers ran for the Minisink.
Because of heat, Jennings fell exhausted the first afternoon. Penn's horsemen kept urging the other two on. At last Yeates gave out and had to be carried home. He died three days later. Jennings never regained his health. Marshall claimed the Penns never gave him the land he was promised---he received five hundred acres of swamp. He had to elude Indians the rest of his life, for his crooked walk in Pennsylvania caused an Indian War in which hundred were killed and desolation settled in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Published on February 11, 2021 at 12:20 pm by Fahad Ali Khan in Earnings Report, News
DuPont de Nemours Inc. (NYSE:DD) was founded in Delaware way back in 1802. It initially started with producing black powder. Over the years, it added numerous chemicals to its portfolio and became one of the world's biggest chemical conglomerates. Its products range from industrial chemicals and synthetic fibers to petroleum-based fuels and agricultural chemicals.
The Wilmington, Delaware-based chemical company on Tuesday announced its financial results for the fourth quarter above expectations. It reported earnings of $222 million, or 30 cents per share for the three months ended Dec. 31, up from 24 cents per share in the comparable period of 2019. On an adjusted basis, profit came in at 95 cents per share, easily beating the consensus forecast of 85 cents per share.
Revenue marginally advanced to $5.25 billion in the quarter, just ahead of $5.15 billion in sales projected by analysts. Strong sales across electronics, nutrition, and biosciences segments make up for the weak performance in safety and construction segments.
Speaking on the results, CEO Ed Breen said, "The leading positions we hold in automotive, protective garments, residential construction, semiconductor, and smartphones markets enabled us to capitalize on positive momentum and deliver strong fourth-quarter results with sequential volume improvement in all segments."
DuPont also issued its financial outlook for the first quarter. It expects to report an adjusted profit in the range of 75 cents per share to 77 cents per share for the current quarter, as compared to the consensus forecast of 67 cents per share.

Revenue for the first quarter is expected to come between $3.75 billion to $3.85 billion, below analysts' average estimate of $3.93 billion. The lower-than-expected revenue outlook sent DuPont (DD) shares down more than 2 percent on Tuesday.

5 Things to do in Dunedin
The second biggest city in the South Island, Dunedin was founded in 1848 with the arrival of two ships of Scottish settlers. Sited on the Otago Harbour, the city bears the Gaelic form of the name Edinburgh and is known as 'the Edinburgh of the South'. A student city with the first University of New Zealand founded in 1869, Dunedin is also a popular tourist destination with many interesting activities.
1. Consider the Architecture
During the Gold Rush of the 1860s, Dunedin quickly became the largest city in the country, and early architecture has survived with some lovely Victorian and Edwardian houses through the older areas of the city. Olveston is a beautifully presented homestead completed in 1906 and gifted to the city in 1966 after the last family died unmarried. Fletcher House, built by Sir James Fletcher in 1909 for the local postmaster, is a restored Edwardian villa furnished in the Edwardian style. From the same era is the 'gingerbread house' style at Dunedin Railway Station. Matanaka Farm Buildings are the oldest surviving farm buildings in the country, dating from the 1840s, and include a granary, schoolhouse, 3 seat privy, storehouse and stables with a gig-room and harness room as well as the stalls. Standing in solitude on the Otago Peninsula is Larnach Castle, New Zealand's only castle. Taking 200 workers more than 3 years to build, the Castle exterior was finished in 1871, with another 12 months to complete the interior. Over the years, the castle has had many faces, from being a lunatic asylum, a retreat for nuns and a hospital for soldiers suffering from battle fatigue. Abandoned and vandalized several times, the ballroom was once used as a sheep pen, but now with restoring, is a lovely stately café. Today the Castle is surrounded with picturesque gardens and 'Alice in Wonderland' statues. St Paul's Cathedral is another architectural masterpiece, and a visit to the Speight's Brewery Ale House built in 1876 is a must.
2. Love the Animals
Otago is home to the world's rarest penguin, the Yellow-eyed penguin which can be seen at the Penguin Place. The world's smallest penguin, the Blue Penguin nests in the cliffs in Pilot Bay on the Otago Peninsula, and may be viewed at the Royal Albatross Centre at Taiaroa Heads. Albatross is also viewed from the same area, with tours throughout the day. At the Korokonui Ecosanctuary, 307 Ha are ring-fenced with predator-proof fencing and enhanced with the re-introduction of rare and endangered species. Birds, fish, Geckos, Butterflies, Trees, Lichen and Tuatara are all present and loved here. Seals and Sea-lions are frequently seen on Aramoana Beach, north of Dunedin, and on spots around the Otago Peninsula. The New Zealand Sealion is one of the rarest seals in the world with a population of only about 12,000.
3. Investigate a Museum
Otago Museum is a bundle of fun for kids and adults. The hands-on aspects of the museum will keep you entertained for hours. Apart from the exhibitions and galleries, there is the Perpetual Guardian Planetarium with a 360-degree theatre showing films about the Universe, sailing the Pacific, the night sky, aliens and flying monsters. The Toitu Otago Settlers Museum has over 100,000 artefacts that tell the story of settlers from the earliest days to recent arrivals. From the earliest Maori settlers through the Europeans, and Chinese during the First Fleets and Gold Rush, Toitu covers them all. One of only three in the world, the Dunedin Gasworks Museum is sited in the original Gasworks building that was in operation from 1863 to 1987, the first and last gasworks in New Zealand. For a chocolate lovers delight, visit the Cadbury's Chocolate Factory for an hour-long tour where you learn about the history of chocolate and Cadburys, how chocolate is made and new flavours are brought into the market. You even get to taste!
4. Explore on Foot/ Bike
Dunedin has a number of walks whereby views of the city and the surrounding countryside can be enjoyed. Through the streets of the city itself, there is a street art trail, with gigantic artworks creating a supersized art display. To get an overall vista of the city, the Pineapple Track up Flagstaff Hill is an option. The edge of an extinct volcano, Flagstaff Hill was once where the flag was flown when a ship entered the harbour. For another panoramic view of the countryside, Signal Hill offers access for walkers as well as cars and bikes. For a bit of fun, a walk to secluded Tunnel Beach is accessed by an abandoned railway tunnel, just a kilometre from the road to the beach.
5. Go on a Train Trip
Dunedin has a number of scenic rail tours that will live in your memory forever. The most famous is the Taieri Gorge with a choice of two destinations, Pukerangi or Middlemarch. The Gorge is deep and necessitates the train passing through ten tunnels and a number of bridges and viaducts. The engineering of the line is impressive, and the natural environment is matchless. Three other rail journeys follow the coastline north, finishing at Waitaki, Moeraki and Oamaru in turn. Waitaki is at the northern end of the Otago Harbour, Moeraki a beach further north, and Oamaru a town 113km from Dunedin. Oamaru is famous for the white stone quarried, and Moeraki has some colossal boulders that are an incredible sight.
Drive-up the steepest street in the world, Baldwin Street with a gradient of 1:2.8. There are 34 streets in Dunedin with a gradient of more than 1:60.

Not To Be Overlooked introduces a variety of a wonderful but lesser-known books to assist readers in finding their next great reads. The column covers non-fiction with reviews by Jacqueline (In Your Defence) and Alicja (With).
In Your Defence by Sarah Langford
Published by Black Swan, April 2019 (paperback edition)
Sarah Langford's In Your Defence is a collection of eleven stand-alone criminal cases and the defendants in those cases that Langford represented. While many of the cases deal with heavy subject matters, Langford makes it a point to not only inform readers of her own previous biases and what she learned while a student of the law, but to also help readers understand and look at their own biases as well by showing the humanity and occasional messiness behind a process that some may find to be cold and unfeeling.
Langford herself states that she is "not most people's idea of a stereotypical barrister," citing her background in English and how she "loved the way that words transported [her] into someone else's life so that [she] could better understand them" as helping to her to understand her job and duties as a barrister:
"For behind the clever arguments spun from the pages of a law book there is always a human tale. It is my job to help my clients fit their lives, in all their messy shades of grey, within the black and white of the law by telling their story and telling it well."
The stories in In Your Defence read as though they could be part of a crime or mystery novel, which shows Langford certainly can tell her clients' stories well. Langford also knows her audience well, as at the end of the book, she includes a thirty-page section of "Notes on the Law," which defines and explains the legal language used within each individual case.
Perhaps most meaningful to this reviewer and an incredibly timely lesson and reminder for readers everywhere was when Langford stated her case, pun not intended, for the law itself and why it is important:
"The law is human justice, designed and enforced. It will therefore always be imperfect. It makes mistakes, it is slow, sometimes chaotic, sometimes illogical. It cracks - at times - crumbles. But it remains a pillar upon which our country is founded. Were it to break, the stability of our nation would break too, and we would be all the poorer for it."
Readers will hopefully find themselves challenged, changed and moved by these stories and come away with new perspectives on both the law and humanity itself.
With by Samuel Wells
Thoughts One Can't Do Without series
Published by Juxta Press, October 2020
"Loneliness is not the same as being alone. Alone, we can be more in touch with ourselves, the world around us, the essence of all things. Together, we can still be lonely."
Samuel Wells' With is a part of the larger Thoughts One Can't Do Without series, exploring contemporary issues through the lenses of philosophy, ethics and theology. While this is not necessarily my usual choice of the literature, it has been an interesting read.
Samuel Wells is a Visiting Professor of Christian Ethics at King's College London and his experience as a theologian and writer comes out clearly in the thoughts he shares in With.
Incredibly timely as we are living through the lockdown and the pandemic haunting us in this year, Samuel Wells' essay analyses the modern condition of living and the way we correlate to one another. Philosophy, ethics and theology are crucial to Samuel Wells points, making the reader think about how we fit in the world. From his debate of the methods of engagement, Samuel Wells proposes a new vision for being with one another.
But perhaps the most interesting part of Wells' essay for me has been the beginning, where the author talked about the feeling lonely in the era of potentially the greatest connectivity so far. Being lonely doesn't necessarily mean being alone. We live in the constant buzz of the Internet and new technologies and yet we know less about even our neighbours.
Our attention is constantly fought of over hundreds of devices, news, films and movies. Social media has seemingly taken over our life. And while in normal circumstances, our constant use of social media isn't necessarily beneficial to our mental health and wellbeing, this year has changed our expectations and lives in an unprecedented way. This connectivity, even through social media, is potentially the only way we can connect with our families, with our loved ones, when travel bans and quarantine period have been imposed around the world.


There are a million different ways to read Tarot Cards, but this is my favorite!
In this simple, step by step process, you will learn how to give yourself a meaningful, intuitive Tarot or Oracle card reading, regardless of your level of experience. This process helps you tap into your intuition and look at your Tarot cards in a whole new light.
If you prefer to listen to me guide you through these steps, just download the recorded version of this Tarot reading process.
Before I get into the nitty gritty, I want to clarify that there are two ways to read Tarot cards. The first way is to memorize all the Tarot card meanings that are in your Tarot book. The second way is to use your intuition and psychic abilities to interpret the cards. Most Tarot readers do both – they know and understand the meanings of the Tarot cards, but they also use their intuition to guide them.
The method of Tarot reading that I am going to explore here is based primarily on using your intuition. So if you are totally new to Tarot cards, you don't need to rush off and memorize all the Tarot card meanings. You don't need to "know" anything to do this exercise!
Before you begin this exercise, make sure you are sitting comfortably with your deck of Tarot or Oracle cards in front of you. Have a notebook and pen nearby.
When you are relaxed and your mind is quiet, the soft voice of your intuition can be heard. Make yourself comfortable and begin by taking slow, deep breaths in through the nose and out through the nose or mouth. Visualize exhaling everything that's on your mind – you can come back to your worries later – but for now, let your mind become clear and empty.
Relax your body by breathing into any areas of tension or discomfort and exhaling the tension until your body feels warm and calm.
Since your deck will have absorbed the energies of your last reading or of the last person who touched it, it is important to clear your deck of any residual energies. The best way to do this, in my opinion, is by shuffling.
After you shuffle your deck a few times, hold it in your hands and give it a "light bath" – visualize breathing in a beautiful white light and sending that light down your arms and into your tarot deck so that it is bathed in white light. This not only clears your deck, but it helps you connect more strongly to your Tarot cards.
Let your question settle into the deck. Imagine that your question is traveling from your mind, down your arms and into your Tarot cards.
Place your Tarot deck on the table in front of you and using your left hand, cut the deck in half and place the top half on the left. You should have two piles of cards now. Choose the card that is on the top of the right pile and turn it over.
First Impression – Notice what your first thought, feeling or reaction was when you turned the card over. Often, our first impression is loaded with intuitive insight because our egos/minds haven't had a chance to jump in yet.
Body Messages – Your intuition will often communicate with you through physical feelings, like a tight stomach or tingly feeling in your hands. Notice if you get any physical sensations as you look at your Tarot card.
Say the card's name out loud – doing this can sometimes open pathways in the mind, giving you access to new insights and information. Notice how you feel when you speak the cards name out loud.
Color – Notice the colors in your Tarot card. Is there a mix of color, absence of color or mostly one color? If one color is more dominant than the others, what does that color mean to you?
Action! – What is going on in this Tarot card? Are people communicating or struggling? Is there a lot of movement or stillness? This one factor can often indicate the issue you are dealing with and its solutions.
Characters – Notice which figures, whether human or animal, are present in your Tarot card. What message does this character(s) bring to you? Imagine yourself stepping into the Tarot card and having a conversation with this character. What would they say?
Symbols – What symbols stand out to you? What do those symbols mean to you? Tarot cards communicate to us through symbols and many "hidden meanings" can be discovered when we take the time to meditate on the symbols.

Not sure what deck to buy? Check out my Recommended decks for beginners.
So I bought a deck of cards tarot cards full deck but the difference is you have to color them yourself. Is this a good way to be more intimate with my tarot cards?
I ran into this while trying to find ways to get in touch with my cards. I used to be good with tarot but due to VERY necessary meds and some personal issues I have trouble focusing. I'll be trying some of these techniques. If you can think of anything else it'd mean the world to me.
Hi there, I'm still new at using my cards but I did as you said and i asked if me and someone I know would ever have a relationship and the card that turned up was the page of penticales but upside down . What does that mean ?
Here's my two cents – don't listen to your friend! Some readers don't like to read for themselves because they feel they cannot be truly objective. This is also why some readers don't read for family. Personally, I read for myself ALL THE TIME! And I know many readers who do. Some people ONLY read for themselves and don't ever read for others.
So my advice to you is to go ahead and read for yourself – I've got lots of resources on this site to help you out and give you some ideas. Don't worry about being accurate or correct in your readings – just do your readings with a spirit of exploration and getting to know the cards (at first, anyway).
I tried your method on giving myself a reading. I got the queen of cups, it was one of the best experiences I've had with a one card reading. I've been really sick and had to give up my job, my finances are in shambles and my love life is about the same! I am a 60 year old divorced female and a Registered Nurse, I am a Pisces mother and grandmother so I took from my reading everything will be ok and my financial picture won't be bleak much longer. The queen (I am the queen of my family), my girls often follow my choices, such as career. The queen is relaxing looking into her cup, there is a star, that represents my spiritual nature, her clothes are somewhat "hippie" style and bright colored. That's my nature as well. She wears her crown and has long blonde hair with a half braid on the side. I see peace in this card and in her. My hands tingled during the entire experience. I'm feeling much more at ease and I feel my circumstances are about to take a turn for the better, possibly better than they've ever been! Thank you for your insight! My Blood Pressure has came down to normal!
This person is in an unhappy relationship now.
I'd like to know how to choose the right Tarrot deck ?
Hi! I just bought my first tarot card deck, and was wondering if I'm supposed to apply the chakra cards in it as well? Or just the major and minor arcana cards?
Hi, I just bought my first Tarot deck today, didn't even realize it was tarot (thought it was oracle),but the deck was calling me all day, though I didn't want to buy it. (It was THIRTY DOLLARS!) I have three oracle decks and always was afraid to try with tarot. It just seems so hard. So in your opinion, is Tarot harder to read than oracle? I'm getting a lot of vibes from it, more so than with my oracle cards, but I don't know if its from the excitement of having them or some spiritual thing.
Congrats on getting your very first Tarot deck!
What does the four of Wands mean in a love reading?
It could mean stability, marriage, happy home life.
I want to learn tarot.. and I m also start studying some famous books for this.. but I found tht some intuitive powers are necessary for become a tarot reader.. but I m not hving such intuitive powers and anything else so I should go for tarot reading learnings… is tarot is for me??
You really do not need to be "psychic" or highly intuitive to be a good Tarot reader, so don't give up! I think we are all naturally intuitive to some degree and so you can work on this to become more intuitive, but it isn't a requirement to be a Tarot reader. When I discovered Tarot I used it as a way to strengthen my intuition and explore that side of myself, but you certainly don't need to already be highly intuitive in order to learn Tarot. Good luck with your studies!!!
Thnks a lot for ur rply… so conclusion is … tarot can be learn by anyone .. who really wants to learn … is it????
Which books you are reading for tarot ???
Hey, I am so glad to have found your website, it has been such a great help for me lately. I have just begun to read my cards, however, I have also been confused. In every website, people say that their minor arcana cards consist of Pentacles, Wands, Swords, and Cups. However, in my deck, I happen to have Swords, Cups, Batons, and Coins. I don't know why it's different, and it has been throwing me off when I read up on Tarot card readings online. Is there a way I can substitute the Batons and Coins for something else when reading?
By the way, I have the Tarot of Marseilles deck if that helps an.
Thank you again, and I hope you are able to respond to my question on your own time.
Some decks have different names for the four minor arcana suits. Your deck uses Batons instead of Wands and Coins instead of Pentacles. It doesn't change the meaning of the cards or suits though, it just makes it trickier to learn since most online info is based on the Rider Waite deck with uses pentacles, swords, cups and wands. If it throws you off too much I would suggest getting the Rider Waite deck while you are learning. This is the easiest deck to learn with, in my opinion.
I'm very new to this my very first reading I did about a relationship that's very recently "ended" but neither of us have yet let go. I did a basic 3 card reading and would love your interpretation.
I've just asked an important question about a job that might come my way – here's what I got in the 3 cards reading… what you think?
Hi I was wondering if you could maybe interpret a reading I did for my husband.
It is the Celtic cross spread.
It's weird how cards are like that. I almost thought this was my girlfriend who posted this. We had this exact scenario that you've described in this woman's readings.
I'd almost think you were my girlfriend! Her name is Alexis and the exact scenario F8 described is almost what happened! But we didn't break up in March.
I hope everything is turning out for you.
Hi! My name is Anton, lives in Sweden and I just bought my first Tarot deck. Your guiding is amazing and way better than the instructions that came with the deck.
Only 1 question, I have a hard time understanding the Major and Minor Arcana, when using the cards are they to be devided in different readings or shuffled together? Minor during one reading and Major in another, or just have them in the same pile.
Congrats on getting your first Tarot deck!
Do not separate the minors and majors – just shuffle them all together.
Want to be added to the mailing list forgot to check the box.
I love this question and answer thingy you got going on your page. I am new to this I want to use the Tarot Cards as a way to spiritually elevate myself, to move to another level. So I will be asking questions and posting thoughts here. I just wanted to know if I could use you as my mentor as I take this Tarot Journey?
Yes, please feel free to use me as your mentor! I welcome you to have fun with the articles, videos and tarot exercises you find here and post as many comments and questions as you like.
I would like to know how to use and read a tarrot cards . Any advice on where should I start first? What are the things should have?
I have a new deck. But I have no guide book to them. They are different from my other deck. They have the suit of hearts and Prince and princesses in it. Can I used the cups to explain them??? Or were can I find a guide book to them. I'm at a loss. The deck is the enchanted world of Amy Zerner and Monte Farber.
You need not worry! Hearts are the same as cups, so any book on Tarot can help you. Many decks will rename the suits but those suit qualities and card meanings stay the same. Same with the court cards. Princesses are Pages and Princes are Knights. The meanings don't change.
I want to learn how to read cards and have a deck I bought a long time ago, via a former employer – Pyramid books and the new age collection, based in Salem MA.
My deck is Tarot of the Cat People (1985 copyright).
Any advice you can offer for a newbie that cannot yet mediate and trying to become more spiritual after encountering my twin flame?
I have this deck – Tarot of the Cat People – it is such a gorgeous and quirky deck, but I find it tricky to read with. It's very different from all my other decks and I wasn't able to find the companion book and I hear that you kind of need to read that first in order to read with it. Anyhow, I guess my advice would be to also get a more traditional deck like the rider waite, hanson roberts, robin wood, or morgan-greer deck as these decks will be easier for you to learn with.
I do not meditate . I want to but m not able to .. And m very much confused that do I actually feel something around or it's just because of my depression. What should I do ????
M I made for this or not .
Have you tried listening to guided meditation cds? Sometimes those are helpful if you're having trouble meditating on your own.
Question, can tarot reading give answer for becoming pregnancy in future ?
I am pretty new to tarot… My fiance had a deck that he was very passionate…. Private and sensitive about .. He passed on on Oct 26th this year and I would love to learn to read his deck….I have been witness to a few astounding readings by him and I would love to know more… Any knowledge about the type of deck and or how to read them would be greatly appreciated… I have no instructions of any kind just so u know…. I have read a little online but I don't know the difference between major/minor arcana. ..? Novice hello!
I am so sorry to hear your fiance has passed so recently, but I'm happy that you're wanting to learn to read Tarot with the deck that was obviously very special to him.
My first recommendation would be to check out my beginners page: https://daily-tarot-girl.com/tarot-for-beginners/ – there's all kinds of basic info there to help you get started.
To explain the majors and minors, think of a regular deck of playing cards, the minor arcana are basically those cards, but with pictures on them – and the suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades) have been renamed wands, pentacles, cups and swords. The Major arcana are 22 extra cards that have been added, which make it a Tarot deck. These cards are considered to carry a little more weight and deal with the important things in life, while the minors have to do more with the everyday, mundane aspects of life.
just out of curiousity, do you know what deck you are using?
I recently started learning tarot. I never really thought about who I am asking guidance from when I ask my deck a question, but it seems like an important aspect. The cards are just a tool for accessing information, right? When tarot readers ask questions, do you feel they are asking the divine, or their spirit guides and guardian angels, or are they just tapping into their subconscious? Also, would that change if you're reading from a fairy deck for example. Would you be asking the fairies your question? And finally, if you are reading for someone else, who would you address their questions to? I can't seem to get a clear answer for this question and maybe it's because everyone believes something different.
This is a fantastic question, Autumn! All readers probably approach this a bit differently. When I do a reading I call on my higher self and my spirit guides to help me get the information and inspiration I need in that moment from the reading. If I'm reading for another person, I ask to connect with their higher self and their spirit guides, as well as asking my own higher self and spirit guides for assistance. You could simply just direct your questions to "the universe" or the Divine – whatever language makes the most sense to you.
where is the best place to buy tarot cards from?
I like Amazon.com or you could check your local bookstore or metaphysical shop.
Congrats on your new deck, McKenzie! Don't let your grandma put you off!
Why do tarot cards have a difinative meaning and a reveresed? What do each represent? Is the reversed just the opposite of the difinative?
Personally, I wouldn't want to read with an incomplete deck. Get a new deck and save this one for practicing learning the meanings or something.
You could get a new deck…or ask yourself what the 5 of swords means to you. Is there are reason it's "missing"? Is your life totally devoid of 5 of swords type energy, therefore, this card isn't needed in your deck? Or is the 5 of swords energy something you are afraid of try to avoid? Perhaps your deck is trying to bring your attention to the 5 of swords by it's absence!
I want to get tarot cards and start learning to read therm but my parents are very christian and I'm afraid if they caught me buying them they'd accuse me of witchcraft and I'd get in trouble for doing devil worship. I can't think of a good cover for why I'm get them that would calm their suspicions either, any ideas?
In reality, tarot cards weren't never made for witch craft.. They were invited by a man who wanted to give a gift for his daughter & he was the first one who came up with the Major Arcanas paintings.. He hired a painter @ she painted all the drawing . Each painting had a meaning to him. You should look it up.
tarot cards are not witchcraft it is Devine and you not need to practice devil worship you need to worship God.you need to explain your parents it's Devine not devil and it is to help people and show them the way out to their problems.
Witchcraft and devil worship have absolutely nothing to do with each other and also you don't need to be a witch to use tarot cards. They are simply a tool we have to help us through life. So you can explain that to them.
Hi ive wanted a tarot deck for about ten years and a few years ago i spied a faerie deck in one of my favourite crystal shops. I went in there today and the deck i wanted was gone but i did see another faerie one and brought it. (I am very passionate about faeries) the one i got is mystic faerie tarot by Linda Ravenscroft. Im just not sure on the spread and how to read it, i should use. There was one spread a friend of mine used on me and i really liked it but i cant really remember and google isnt provoking any memories.
Barnes and noble or the library or descripe it like 3 in center 2 on top 1 crossed over 4 around and 4 on the side is Celtic cross it is my favorite or find what works for you.
I have always had a deep interest in learning more about the Tarot. My parents were very strict religiously. Although, I did learn what I could about other paths in my youth. I am a man of inquisition, and simply reading only one point of view has never abided well with me.
Honestly, I follow a Heathen path now, and use the Runes almost exclusively. I have researched many world religions before deciding to take up my ancestral faith. I have had a few readings in the past, and they appeared to be very accurate. I am considering acquiring a set. However, I am not sure how I should go about choosing a one. In the past I have handcrafted all of my rune sets.
Good luck and have fun choosing your Tarot deck!
Hey I'm so happy I found this website , I always have doubts in whatever I do I feel like tarot cards would give me some guidance , I recently wrote my college exam (very important one) , I just can't stop thinking about it, I really want to ask tarot cards about my results ?
Sure, it's okay to make your own cards by printing off the internet, but buying a Tarot deck is probably a better option. They aren't that expensive and it just seems like a ton of work and bother to print off your own and it won't be very durable.
As for printing your own cards, there is no need. Many used book sotres sell tarot cards, and you can always try amazon. I find it is much more natural to connect with a real set of cards. Hope this helped!
Here is my advice on getting started with learning Tarot: https://daily-tarot-girl.com/2014/02/24/tarot-beginner-start/ – this article and video has all my deck and book recommendations.
Hi Kate, can we read tarot cards while we are pregnant?? Does negative energy affect the baby??
Yes, you can read Tarot when pregnant. I am not entirely sure what you mean by "negative energy" in relation to Tarot? Tarot cards don't have negative energy, but if you do a reading for yourself and you don't like the cards that came up and you get all stressed out about it, then I suppose that will be creating negative energy! So if you feel you are in a sensitive place, it's best not to read Tarot – wait until you are feeling less emotionally reactive (but I say this to everyone regardless of whether or not they are pregnant). I hope that helps!
So two or so years ago I did some research for a short story that I was writing, the main character was a witch, but while doing my research I came across a few websites about tarot cards and I looked a little further into them because I was interested. After the unfortunate abandonment of said short story (alas it was the result of a 14 year olds imagination – how good could it really be?) I forgot all about tarot cards.
Yesterday, however at the mention of tarot cards in the film I was watching, I felt this urge to learn more about them. I ignored this urge for the rest of yesterday and the majority of today, but this afternoon I decided to pick up and write an idea similar to the one I tried to write at 14. This lead me to looking at the meanings of various tarot cards that could perhaps represent or be meaningful to my character. I felt totally intrigued by the concept of tarot cards and reading them. This feeling obviously lead me here and to numerous other websites on tarot cards/tarot readings. I've also come across a website that ships tarot cards to Australia, and have had the browser open for quite some time.
Now as a 17 year old, I'm in my last few years of High School and currently I'm going through quite a strenuous time – what with coming to terms with adulthood in two years time, the usual conflict with parents, facing reality, etc., etc. – and I am not sure if this interest in tarot cards has been prompted by a need inside of me to find some sort of clarity in such a messy time, or just me seeing something new that looks cool and liking the 'idea' of it.
I understand that you may not be the single best person to offload my adolescent problems to, but, in your experience is there a difference between genuinely being drawn to tarot cards/readings and the spirituality that goes along with that, and liking the concept of tarot reading. Because I know for sure that I am very skeptical in terms of spirituality and how to connect with that inside yourself – it's just a matter of whether I have a sense of commitment that I need.
Let me just clarify what you're asking me: is there a difference between being drawn to the tarot (in a kind of mystical way) or just merely being interested in the Tarot?
I'm not sure as there is much of a difference and I don't think it really matters. Being intellectually interested in something and being spiritually drawn to something are just two sides of the same coin, so don't overthink it!
I think you're saying that your more of a rational minded/intellectual person and you don't really resonate with the touchy feely woo-woo aspect of spirituality – that's okay, you don't need all that to learn Tarot anyway. When I first began Tarot I wasn't really into spiritual things at all, but my practice with Tarot definitely brought me there, although that isn't everyone's experience. Hope that makes sense!
I used to read, then went blind. For some reason, the cards are calling me back to them. This will be an interesting experiment. I will probably mark the cards with braille, although I don't wish to offend the cards, nor cause them pain (yes, I know that sounds a bit looney). I wonder if I will miss being able to see the colors and images on the cards; I can remember exactly how many of them appear, but there are gaps. Advice? Oh, and thanks very much for this lovely, informative site. Blessed be.
I am not sure as I have any advice for you, only that you will just need to rely more heavily on memory as you won't have the immediate visual cues while reading, but in a way this could force you to be more intuitive. I think understanding the essence of a card is important and the essence or vibe of a card can be felt without visual cues. You may find this article and video helpful: https://daily-tarot-girl.com/learn-tarot/7-tarot-tips-learning-tarot-card-meanings/ – focus on steps 3, 4 and 6 – that is focus on understanding the suit qualities and numerical qualities and making a personal connection to the cards – all those things will help you remember that cards faster and it won't matter if you can't actually see the cards.
Hi! Im a beginner to tarot cards. I have always been interested but today at a second hand store i came across a set. I felt that i had to have them. I would like to know any recommendations on cleansing? Thanks!
Good luck with your cards and happy Tarot reading!
Hi Kate, I have recently begun reading tarot cards. I used to read years ago. I stopped because my partner did not feel comfortable with it. About two months ago I was sleeping and I had like a calling, as if tarot was calling me back. I woke up and knew I wanted to start reading again. To my surprise, not long after that a friend of mine gifted me with a new deck of her own will. I am a bit rusty now being that I haven't read in about 4 years. Your advice is amazing, do you have any more places where you give more advice or do you have any forums or anything where I can get my feet back wet again, as far as tarot. Thanks a lot.
Hi, Kate! I'm a newbie who's interested in tarot reading but I have not gotten a deck yet. I heard that you should see the deck physically when buying one to see if it calls to you. Do you recommend any decks for beginners? Or maybe even a store where I could physically buy one? Thank you so much! This was very helpful.
It is nicest if you can go to a store and actually hold the decks and go though them, but if there aren't any stores like that in your area then just order from amazon. I rarely see a deck in the flesh before I buy it because I buy mostly through amazon, but there have been plenty of decks that i've ordered and then felt kind of disappointed in once I got it, so its ideal if you can see the deck first.
Wow – that sounds intense, Laura! I don't know what that could be. I have gotten tingly hands before when doing readings, but I don't think I've ever had a blinding white flash before. Did it happen again for you or just once?
I have been interested in Wiccan traditions and practices as well as tarot cards for years and I finally bought my first deck, so I am a beginner. I own The Rider Tarot Deck and I have done a few readings thanks to your website. I Googled how to read tarot cards and your website popped up and was by far the most helpful and informative. Following your guide, I have done two readings for others and five for myself. All seven of them have been spot on!! I hope to one day make a successful career of this. Thanks again!
Sounds like you're a natural at Tarot reading – way to go!
Cheers for sharing your calm energy and tips in regards to breathing and relaxing body and mind,,,, yup I left my troubled minds back at the Rubbish bin … going well are we. Buying my fret out fit do.
Just used this for my first tarot reading, thanks for the guide!
Hi Kate, I just found your site and have been digging around in it for a couple of hours and wow! Just so user friendly and helpful! I have a beginner question. In this step by step guide, you only described pulling one card for the reading. Is that how it is done typically or is there a specific number of cards one should use per reading?
Hi Aundria and welcome to my site!
You can do this process for each card in the spread, spending a little more time on the cards that jump out at you or feel strongest for you.
This is actually my first article on reading about tarot cards and it was so helpful. I already feel a lot more confident about reading them. I do have one question though. When doing a reading on another person and I tell them to think of a question would it be better for them to keep it to themselves or if they told me?
Great question! I would have the person tell me their question so I could focus their reading on that. Otherwise, they could keep it to themselves but then the reading will be more vague, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I prefer to know exactly why someone's coming for a reading and what they want to get out of it.
I would like to ask you about the direction of the cards, I heard they can be straight or upside down with different meanings each ? Is that right?
i loved your way of readin tarot cards. i believe in intution and i beleive in signs and signals from higher soul.

can you pls help me with this?
plz reply me by mail..
Hi Kate! I love your site. Thank you for inspiring us. I'm new to Tarot, and I've purchased the Rider-Waite deck and also the separate book that supposedly explains how to read the cards. I feel a little apprehensive with their interpretations. I'm wondering if you can recommend any reference books or websites? Also as me being completely new to this, but very open-minded and very intuitive, some initial tips to reading. Thank you!
Do I have to order my cards (like coins-cups-wands-swords-major arcana) after every reading?
hey I just love ur tarot reading method .. I will buy tarot cards soon! pls suggest me from where I should buy original cards ? Thank u ! hv a wonderful day.
I was in a bookstore and was drawn to a deck of tarot cards and bought them. I have never had a deck and know nothing about tarot. Could you please point me in the right direction to begin to learn? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you lots.
Also, your local bookstore might have a few decks, but the selection won't be as good.
Hi Emma – glad you liked the articles I sent you 🙂 I hope you have fun with them when your cards arrive!
Hi Kate! I have been experimenting with creating my own spreads, where I'll just shuffle the cards and ask a question and lay a card, assigning that question's response to that card. It sort of turns into a conversation of sorts, and I keep going for a few questions until I feel like I have a nice informative layout. Do you think this is a valid way to read cards.. Or is it better to stick with traditional spreads?
So, to me, reading this way is fun and more direct in a way, and I'm really trusting my intuition to interpret the cards for myself.
Dear Kate, I just love the way you do your tarot and oracle card readings. I have the Tao Oracle Deck and I'm learning from you by watching your vids on YouTube. I'm doing very well with them. I also want to ask you kate, do you ever mix up your tarot cards where some of them are upside down, and do the readings for the reverse part of the cards? I haven't notiiced any upside down cards when you do the readings on YouTube for the tarot readings. You have inspired me to go further in the spiritual way of life Kate and I thank you for that. Have a very beautiful day.
I find that reversals kind of complicate things and its a bit un-necessary, but some people like reading with them.
I just want to thank you for your beautiful site and its many wonders. Being recently interested in tarot, I have been seeking much information on it. I have heard many 'bad things' on tarot and how it can bring bad luck or corrupt a soul. Hence, you can imagine how taboo tarot is as a subject matter till recent times, where my interests towards it ignites. I would like to seek your advice on how to perhaps overcome this 'fear' of tarot, and embark on this journey with an open mind and none of the preconceived doubts.
Thank you for the written version of your guide, Kate! I really enjoy listening to your guides, but it is always a joy to be able to read them too. I sometimes forget to check all of the aspects in the cards, like action, color etc., this guide is going to help me a lot with that, like a check-list. And I'll definitely listen to my body more to catch reactions, I found this tip really inspirational, since I haven't paid much attention to that aspect before. And saying the card's name out loud? I believe it will open a whole new world!
You are very welcome, Deniz! Let me know how it goes with trying those new techniques and if you have a favorite one.
