SPECIAL GUEST
Tarot & Cartomancy Association of Singapore Rowen Ong, Chairman Interview: Kabbalah & Daily Living Thurs Nov 11 EST New York Fri Nov 12 Singapore We discussed my Wild Kabbalah, a practical way of understanding daily life. This recorded interview for TCAS is distributed to:
A translated transcript of this interview will be for the Tarot Mystery Magazine of Vietnam, a publishing arm of the Tarot Museum Vietnam. Rowen is also the co-creator, with Lynard-James Narcisco, of the SEAMS Tarot, the Southeast Asia Myths & Stories Tarot. His interest in Tarot and Kabbalah practices brought him to me. SPECIAL GUEST
Coffee & Cards, UK Elise Oursa, Director, creator of Blood & Ink Tarot ROBUSTNESS OF THE PSYCHE IN TIMES OF SPIRITUAL AWAKENING Live Q & A Zoom Interview, with attendees 9am Mon Nov 8, 2021 London; 3pm EST "This month in Coffee and Cards I will be welcoming Ferol Humphrey for November's free Q&A on Robustness of the Psyche. Ferol is a well-known tarot theorist, kabbalist, professional reader and tarot instructor who offers a wide range of supportive esoteric skills with a focus on personal creative development. We will be discussing a topic that is close to the surface for anyone working in the intuitive arts: how can we actively manage the field of knowing that emerges as part of our spiritual awakening. How do we tune out other people's 'stuff' and attune ourselves to what is relevant. Ferol Humphrey calls this process 'Active Inteligence'. The nature of our knowing is an active rather than a passive process which can be managed, analysed, deciphered and appropriately applied. In so far as we read cards to access a vision of the unknown then THIS is our business. Ferol's work offers us a call to honour (rather than pathologise) our exquisite gifts of sensing and feeling, and a challenge to deeply know yourself. Ferol is a powerhouse here, with decades of experience and practical tools for the empathic and sensitive genius in us all." I participated as a Master Class Presenter in four European Virtual Conferences last year. I also had three very unusual and fine Tarot decks named after me, one of which was a Limited Edition purchased in its entirety by a retail supplier~ so it was quite a year.
It was my pleasure to reach new people around the world, those who learn from the 600-year-0ld art system of Tarot, as well as offering the best of my Inner Development techniques for those seeking spiritual engagement and healthy life dynamics, outside of mainstream belief and thought structures. All four were well-attended and productive. As always, my goal was to assist people in their development and contributions to life. I focused on three levels of scale, Micro, Meso, and Macro, to help people navigate while they are seeking or exploring a home and a process for their spirit:
Lately I have been pondering the 22 Tarot Trumps as originally formulated, depicting average secular life amidst the powerful influence of the Christian morality story. I may write some classes on this classic Christian image progression, as the Journey of the Soul. There is also a strong influence to reference, from Christian Cabala. I do not normally focus on any particular religious belief system, but my studies have led me through many of them, and they are languages held dearly to heart by millions of people, whether Christian, Jewish, or beyond. There is no reason NOT to explore each system. Stay tuned. Unless otherwise stated, Ferol Humphrey Tarot Method workshops are designed to assist seekers in any (or no) secular, religious or philosophical context. |

Travel and Event Production, all year! From January-December 2020, I focused on producing events which bring people together for continuity, consistency, and community. It was a great year! I got around the United States, visiting old favorite places, such as the mighty Columbia River. Most of my focus was on development of community in Manhattan, NYC, but I also began a group in North Carolina intended for all-state community and learning. Many friends were made, as I taught my own material and showcased excellent instructors who have spent their lives as writers, therapists, and theatre professionals.

Ferol Humphrey Presents Fri July 5, 2019, 7pm in NYC THE BASICS: Love, Work, Money~ A Study of Independence New York New Church, 114 East 35th Street at Lexington In this class we took advantage of the July 4 holiday to consider what independence means on a person-to-person basis, in the fields of endeavor most on everyone's minds: Love, Work, and Money. These time-honored topics are not trivial, but in fact are the central theater of life, and all of us are concerned with them continuously. Ferol Humphrey shared her Method to make this inquiry intelligent and productive, as well as fun. Friends were made. Progress was on the table! |

I subsequently produced an event for her in the American South, and we have continued correspondence.

Rachel has also won the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award and the World Fantasy Award for her work in science fiction. In Tarot she is best known for the perennially-selling Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom, and her Shining Tribe Tarot, but has written over 30 Tarot books and worked with Herman Haindl on the companion book to the Haindl Tarot.

INTERVIEWER, MASTER CLASS PRESENTER BARBARA MOORE MASTER OF CEREMONIES, BANQUET 14th ANNUAL READERS STUDIO INTERNATIONAL TAROT CONVENTION APRIL 28-MAY 1, 2016 La Guardia Marriott Hotel, NYC This year I facilitated the Foundation Reading at the beginning and end of the convention, and was one of the Master Class Interviewers, for presenter Barbara Moore. I also had a really good time as MC for the Saturday night banquet, introducing Tarot Live! with Marcy Currier, and in general harrying the audience with my particular brand of interaction~ designed to involve everyone. It was great fun. We had a huge group from China, and old friends from Iceland and Canada, as well as England's beloved Kim Arnold, and author Liz Dean. It was fabulous! We also had an astonishing surprise drop-in visit by Stuart Kaplan, the founder of U.S Games Systems, Inc., who is basically responsible for handing us the modern Tarot world through his publication in the early 1970's of the Rider Waite deck, and its subsequent travel all over the world, to become the best-known and best-loved Tarot deck of all time. What an amazing thing to see Stuart Kaplan at the convention! We were all deeply appreciative and let him know it. I have attended this event every single year since my first experience in 2007, and personally encouraged about 50 people who did strike out for adventure, and really loved it. This will be my 10th straight year, because only at Readers Studio can I expect to meet people from all over the world, in such numbers~ up to about 220 maximum. In 2015 we had almost 60 First-Timers, among them maybe 12 from Canada alone! We also met 4 from China, and each year brings people from further away~ South Africa, Iceland, England, Australia. |

NY City Lens Press Interview:
Tarot Back on the Cards April 13, 2015 George Liam Steptoe, UK Journalist This is an edit by Tarot historian Giordano Berti of Italy, of portions of a longer interview by George Steptoe of NYC Lens. Giordano has pulled together the best parts of the full interview, focusing on his publication, The Vergnano Tarot, 1865, which I use in the interview. I own the deck, and consider it one of the 5 finest decks in my very large collection. George filmed and asked questions while I discussed the nature and uses of modern Tarot with a few of my friends from NYC who gathered to meet with him. Everyone had a great deal of fun, on all kinds of Tarot-related topics~ feminism, ancient and modern uses. The full interview was lost when the NYC Lens deleted its 2015 video archive, alas. But due to Giordano's efforts, we have this bit about his Vergnano! |
George Liam Steptoe reported from Brooklyn for NY City Lens before heading back to UK for more cultural and political reporting. George’s previous work has been published in Vice, The Daily Telegraph, The Diplomat, Southeast Asia Globe, Prospect Magazine, East End Review and others. George was formerly a freelance reporter for a local paper in Northeast London before decamping to correspond from Cambodia.

WORKSHOP INSTRUCTOR:
The Tarot School'S 3RD ANNUAL TAROT & PSYCHOLOGY CONFERENCE
Thursday April 23, 2015
La Guardia Marriott Hotel, NYC
The Psychological Basis of Ferol Humphrey Method
We begin life seeing and hearing the world, feeling our bodies, talking spontaneously. Before cultural concepts, family agreements, or self-mastery, we experience it all, wondering “What has this to do with ME?” As children our character forms first by experience, then by training. That is the key to real development: Experience Now, Analyze Later!
In this Study Group, we peek into the process of a very successful learning system. Taking us into the experimental unknown, deliberately alternating feeling, thought, and voice, Ferol Humphrey Method makes us smarter, more confident, and more loving adults.
FEROL HUMPHREY is a well-known writer, educator, and motivator. She challenges and delights audiences in conferences and group learning events around the world, with her key to personal growth — Immediate Adventurous Experience! Ferol's methods are radical, precise, often hilarious, and highly effective. You spend your old ideas, and keep the change.

The Tarot School's 13th Annual READERS STUDIO~
APRIL 24-26, 2015
La Guardia Marriott Hotel, NYC
This year at the start of the program, I introduced attendees to the Foundation Reading, the cornerstone of the Readers Studio experience. A little later on, I introduced The Curious Order of Arcana Arts, a very unusual theatre troupe, at the Saturday Banquet. At the close of the event, I then facilitated our revisitation of the Foundation Reading, where after a full weekend of learning new skills, we apply them to the same questions and the same cards and layouts we used at the beginning of the event, so that we can see in a really practical way, what we have gained.
I was also available as one the featured Celebrity Readers in the evening portion of the program, Friday and Saturday nights. This stretch of 30-60minute evening appointments are for all~ for those who visit the hotel, attendees, luminaries, and presenters. I enjoy working with the self-starters who book these consultations. Even leaders occasionally clog down and get dispirited. Let's pick those spirits up and get back into the game! If you cannot get with me during my official appointments, we can probably find a quiet place at some other point, so approach me and ask.
I am willing to be very declarative, but am not primarily a divinitory reader.
I work in a much bigger macro, the context of who you are, what you need and are trying to accomplish. Readings with me help you recognize yourself, act on what motivates you, and move forward with more self-understanding and grace.

FINDING YOUR FORTUNE IN THE FIVES
We had a truly incredible, stellar, ALL-STAR cast of dedicated and responsible presenters. My colleagues in this summit were multiply-published, honored convention and symposia presenters~ at the top in their field, many of whom travel the world regularly to teach this material.
We focused on the 4 Suits, the 16 Court Cards, and the Ace-Ten. I asked especially for The Fives~ from my perspective, the Fives in Tarot are where the action is, where things tend to change dramatically, as they are in the middle between the early building process and concluding energies.
Speaking at this Telesummit was great fun! I really enjoyed sharing the special magic of The Fives.

GUEST SPEAKER
KIM WILBORN'S THE SPIRITUAL PATH OF TAROT TELESUMMIT I ~
Sept 16 - Oct 1, 2013~
DEATH CARD TAROT
I provided a live interview on the meaning of the Death card. We discussed the historical and constantly changing approaches to the most famous Tarot image of all time, Death.
In 2008, I attended the San Francisco Bay Area Tarot Symposium, SFBATS. I made a special point to see Holly Voley's talk on the Death card, across 600+ years of playing card history. It was rather a game-changer for me, as it pointed me from personal use of the cards to card imagery as a focused window on social and cultural evolution expressed through art, often commissioned by some of the wealthiest and most influential political families in society across the world.

Living Tarot Method is designed to light up your whole brain, connect your thinking to your heart, and your feelings to your speech, like nothing you have ever experienced before.
