Queen or Page of Pentacles Buying Persona

10:54 AM 0 Comments
My buying persona is a Queen of Pentacles or a Page of Pentacles, but let me explain you how I reached this conclusion later on.

An effective inbound marketing strategy according to the HubSpot Academy is comprising the following stages:
  1. attract strangers and covert them into visitors;
  2. convert visitors into leads;
  3. close leads into customers;
  4. delight customers into promoters.
One of the inbound marketing definitions is: blog or website content plus context.

What does it mean?
Blog or website content can be any blog post, article, newsletter, video, ebook, etc. we put in our blog or website. 
Blog/ Website context is referring to your target audience, who you are trying to reach.

Before you start planning and creating content for your blog or website you need to figure out who your ideal client is, also known as your buyer persona.

Now is a good time to define my buyer persona for this blog:

- a woman aged 18-55 interested and enthusiastic about all things tarot, who wants to consult/ use tarot cards to deepen her spiritual knowledge thorough tarot journaling, reading for herself or asking for my advice via Tarot cards.
- she can also be a start up entrepreneur searching for tarot ideas or ideas on how to plan, create, deliver and  analyze content for her blog/ website.
- last but not least my buying persona is someone who wants to connect with Major Arcana's High Priestess through: one- card daily readings, a book club, or simple artistic images.

I identified my buyer persona with a Queen a Pentacles because she is a creative, intelligent woman who is good in business and is looking for creative ways to expand her business  and/or her personal knowledge.
I also think of my buyer persona as a Page of Pentacles who is a dedicated student who loves to learn tarot.


My buying personas
 

Please do not worry, if you do not find yourself in my buying persona described before you are still welcome to my blog, just that the content will not be targeted with you in mind.

Many blessings,
Biancat Tarot

Blogging Issues- 5 of Wands

2:57 PM 0 Comments
5 of Wands..- fighting problems

Recently I encountered some blogging issues. First, I tried to add Google AdSense to this blog, but I have been refused on various ridiculous motives such as the content of my blog includes adult content.  The real reason for my rejected application is clearly that my political views are not in line with Google politics. I know if they could they would just wipe out this blog entirely, unfortunately for them they can't do that.

Then, I tried to write blog content at hubpages.com. There my Google AdSense has been accepted together with few other monetization campaigns however I encountered a different problem. My first blog post, they call it hub has been accepted and online for about a day and then they removed it. I also tried to post three other hubs equally unsuccessful under the complaint that the text is not original. Apparently they want only new articles on their pages and you cannot use any articles you previously published even if they are your own, like in my situation. The first hub, originally published has been removed under another excuse: that it is not professional enough, sounds too much like a blog posting on a personal blog and promotes my blog.
My answer to that is that if I was such a professional writer why would I publish my articles on an amateur blog site such as Hubpages ? Also, I have no need to promote my blog through their site because all the "right" people are already reading my blog and I am not just looking for visitors.
To put everyone's mind at rest I am not interested in popularizing my Florida relationship because it was the worst relationship ever and it could easily win the Guinness Book of Records as the worst relationship in history. In short, I was in love with a man who was addicted to sports (having a love affair with his tennis racket) and emotionally unavailable to any woman, emotionally defective. Everyone knows that you cannot chase a man who has an addiction and hope he will fall in love with you, except me obviously.
Even my current Muslim boyfriend, who is a very intelligent balanced man with a clear mind, did not understand me and my love situation at the time. So, if he cannot understand me, that means none can. However, he made a very good point when he told me that all my trouble with the Jews are because of this Florida man. That is so right. Only because of this man the Jews harassed me, threatened me on the computer, destroyed 4 laptops, accused and charged me with things I have not done, broke my arm,  and tried to lock me in a mental hospital. Sorry Google, this is not hate against an ethnic group is called telling the truth!

The only reason I wanted to join Hubpages in the first place is because I wanted to help out a friend who has some financial difficulties.

Anyway blogging for me it is just a recreational activity and I will try to keep it like that despite all these obstacles.

Right now my focus is on the book I am preparing and I will be entering a spiritual writing contest very soon. Hopefully my luck will change.

Sending light and love,

High Priestess

Spirit Guide Reading

3:55 AM 0 Comments

A Spirit Guide reading is what I found by chance in an old Prediction Magazine. Prediction's tarot expert Xanna Eve Chown presents a very interesting four- card spread to help us get in touch with our Spirit Guides. It is important to know that according to experts each of us has  at least two guardian angels and they stay with us from birth to death. 

Below I use my personal reading as an example.

I shuffled the cards and have drawn 4 cards one by one asking the following questions:
- card number 1: What your guide is like? In this question you ask the guide to give you a sign in physical world indicating his nature. I got the King of Wands
- card number 2: Why your guide is with you now? I received the 5 of Wands
- card number 3: What your guide wants you to know? 7 of Swords
- card number 4: What your guide wants you to do? 6 of Wands

Wow!!

This reading worked for me perfectly! It was exactly what I needed to know and if used right it could be just as useful for you too. I totally encourage you use it and see what you get and see if any the information you receive will click with you also.

Here are my thoughts on the cards I received in my reading:





Card number 1:

King of Wands- this is the man I always thought I wanted to meet and I think is the best fit for me out of all the Tarot Kings. He represents an Aries man. Also my Mars is in Aries, meaning that my ideal fit for me in astrological terms is a man with Aries like qualities: a generous and passionate nature, enthusiastic and kind, someone you can depend on. He is also a good conversationalist and has great sense of humor.

The man who matched this qualities most closely was another fiery men, my ex husband. I wonder what that means? Should I search from someone from my Past?

Card number 2:

5 of Wands- there is a competition. It means that the guide is with me to help me win a competition, a struggle, a challenge or even an argument.

Card number 3:

7 of Swords- well, it looks like that I am involved in a struggle I should not be part of. In other words I should be away from the complicated relationships that I am in, if I am to move towards my set goals.

Card number 4:

6 of Wands-this means the guide wants me to be a Winner.

Difficult Love Situations: In Love with Two People is Not Cheating

3:16 AM 2 Comments

Today the topic of discussion is difficult love situations.
I recently read an article from Lisa, a tarot reader I happen to like very much. However, yesterday she posted an article that upset me and I need to post back as a response.

Here is a link to her article Why I won't use the Tarot cards to help you cheat.

Ok Lisa, I understand that for an outsider is easy to think of the person who "cheats" as the bad person, with no morals, in a mission to hurt and abuse their husband/ or their wife.

SORRY, I have to strongly disagree with this point of view. I myself have been in this situation once and I can explain a different point of view.

First of all, in my situation I instantly fell in love with someone else (or at least I thought I did) when I was not looking to meet someone else, I was not going out to bars or clubs to find another man, I was not searching for another man fullstop. It just happened!!   Lisa you believe in Past Lives so you can understand Destiny and how sometimes we meet people just because it is meant to happen NOT because we choose to happen! So how can you not understand that people can fall in love by chance and not in purpose?

Moreover, these people in this particular situations torn between a lover and a husband/ wife are in most confusing situations are in most need with a reading. You are not helping them cheat, by giving them a reading, you are helping them sort out their love life.

Also, what most people should know is that people who cheat with a LOVER and NOT multiple partners are not CHEATERS at all. They are people in love with two people at the same time. For me a cheater is just someone who has no feelings for their husband or wife and stays with them for material profit or other reason outside love. Real cheaters are those who cheat with multiple partners and do not love anyone but themselves. I would agree not to give those a reading, because they are people best described in the 7 of swords card of Tarot- and I would call them professional cheaters.

Also, before one can decide to leave your former husband or wife they have to be sure that their new lover is just as they imagined them, their true soulmate. It is no way you can do find out how your new lover or the new person you are very attracted to  truly is unless you spend time to find out more about them. This is not called cheating, is called needing time to reach out a solution, to figure out which direction you need to take. This is a very difficult situation to be in, because as I said like in my situation you can be in love with 2 men at the same time, for different reasons and it takes time to find out what to do. If there would be no feelings involved, yes the person in between two people can be called a cheater, but often that is not the case.

So, my conclusion here is that when cheating is NOT by choice, and it just happen, it is NOT cheating at all!! Cheating is something with intention, it is not out of our control. Love is not something we can control. We cannot love people on demand! We can have sex on demand, but we can never love a person on demand!

That is why I would really offer all my help with tarot readings to anyone that is in a difficult love situation like in between a lover and a husband or a wife, but I would never help cheaters either.

I will soon post under my services a course that will help people with difficult love choices find their way to happiness using the tarot cards.

Until then, if you are in a difficult love situation here are some of the questions you need to ask yourself:

#1. how was the love you felt for your husband/ wife at the beginning?
#2 did it feel the same with the love you feel now for your lover/ new love interest?
#3 love with time fades, so is it possible to feel about the new lover in the future the same as you feel now about your husband/ wife?
#4 is the new lover a past life connection? if so, you should know that some past lovers can come meet us into this life only to hurt and disappoint us again.  Just because you meet with a past life lover it does not mean eternal love and this can come up as a big surprise to many and it is something to think about it before you make a decision.

Usually, only time can decide which one should stay: the lover or the husband/ wife, or none. Yes, none of them can also be the right choice, sometimes. I can help you, and with help of tarot you will understand your choices better and make the correct decision for you without the wait for time.



Thanks for reading.
Blessed be,
HP

My Tarot Book Writing Goal for 2016

10:48 AM 0 Comments

One of my goals for 2016 is to self publish a tarot book. It is not going to be a boring book or just another book in tarot with simple explanation of the cards. It will be an exciting book, a book of passion on a tarot theme.

Initially I thought of asking for financial help for making this book happen, but I decided otherwise. I will be writing the book with or without financial support because this has to be done. Now with Mercury Retrograde and Jupiter Retrograde on my second house (until May 9th) it is clearly not a good time to start a new project and ask for support.

I will let you all know about the progress I am making on this goal later on. and I may even post  a chapter or two on my blog.

Please see my new writing goal for 2018.  See link: New Writing Goal

Best wishes everyone,
High Priestess

Magician and High Priestess Love

5:10 AM 0 Comments

The Magician- High Priestess Love

Key words:

- ability to achieve goals for himself  and the woman he loves, the High Priestess
- the Magician is the "master" of their fate
- there has been a long wait of disciplined love between the Magician and the High Priestess, but now is the time for the Magician to use his special talents, skills and knowledge to help High Priestess achieve her goals. In a reading that shows both the Magician and the High Priestess it indicates a good time for to start new projects.
- for the High Priestess, the Magician is her lover, her brother, her best friend, someone who feels and thinks the same as her.
- in real life a Magician can be: an entrepreneur, a writer, a teacher, a guide, an artist/ a man  behind the scenes.
- the Priestess to the Magician is mysterious; she represents love without sex, dream messages, and psychic knowledge. She is always available to the Magician for love, help and support and she has unseen talents that can help the Magician achieve success.
- the Magician and the High Priestess together can defeat their secret enemies.
- when the High Priestess is reversed in a reading it suggests that she is intellectually connected with the Magician, but there is not enough opportunity for love. It can also mean that she has not enough information to proceed, or that there is an emotional, sensitive need to deal with before she can proceed.





In the picture above I selected the Magician and the High Priestess from 4 decks: the Thoth Tarot, Nicoletta Ceccoli Tarot, Botticelli Tarot and Dark Grimoire Tarot.
In the Thoth Tarot we see that the Magician and the High Priestess have almost the same exact colouring, (which we do not find in any other cards) suggesting that the artist Frieda Harris also thought of them as a couple. In  the next deck we have the Magician representing Summer and the High Priestess Winter -  exact opposites who attract. Last, not least in the Grimoire Tarot the Magician is a writer/ poet more exactly Abdul Alhazred who wrote the Necronimicon and the High Priestess is a "wise" woman who holds the knowledge of the World of Dreams/ dream messages just as I mentioned in the key words above. In the Botticelli Tarot down to the left the Lo Scarabeo booklet tells us that the Magician has "skills and will" and the High Priestess has "knowledge" but I found nothing suggesting that there is a love connection between the two. Please let me know if you see a connection between the Magician and the High Priestess in this deck.

Personal Branding for Your Tarot Business, Tarot Services

9:59 AM 0 Comments

Today I am going to talk about personal branding for tarot business owners.

Here are some tips:
  • take a stand- do not be anonymous!
  • be remarkable
  • create/ build an image none can ignore
  • starting point in personal branding is look at who you admire/ your favorite stars
  • DO NOT SHARE YOUR GOAL, because you will feel like you already completed it, and therefore reduce your chances of accomplishment
  • mingle with people that are connected with your dream/ goal
  • do not underestimate yourself: if you have something of value does not have to be free
  • be authentic: be sincere regardless of what others think about that
  • update your style: the way you dress is equally important with your CV and how you present yourself in social media
  • remember is a marathon not a sprint- big professional changes take time, be patient.
  • following your intentions and desires leads to synchronicities that will help you attract what you are looking for
  • once you set your intentions you must tune your antennae to the opportunities that turn up.

There is a step by step plan to help you create your dream tarot business:

  • Step 1: let go of learned behavior, or thinking you learned from your parents
  • Step 2: do a belief audit- immerse into biographies of those that made it against all odds
  • Step 3: put in passion- it must be the thing that you would do even if you were not paid for; follow your passion for exploring manifestation; make the principles and practices of manifestation part of your everyday life
  • Step 4: get out there, hang out with positive people who share your interests, spend time with people who feel good about their work.
  • Step 5: give something back- you must have a current job while you pursue your career dream.
  • Step 6: think like a brand:
          - make a plan for your tarot business project
          - discover what market sector is not covered
          - become as specialized as possible
          - give people reasons to look for you
          - define your brand
  • Step 7: be the best in your field
          - you need a blog/ site to present what you offer
          - pick an easy name like "love of tarot"
          - verify if the domain is taken
          - get a chic design for your blog
          - get a motto for your brand like " your opportunities are in the cards"
          - introduce key words
  •   Step 8: be the center of attention on social network
         - get Twitter/ FB/Pinterest/ Instagram accounts, link the accounts
         - Twitter account should be connected with the Linkedin account to be found
         -  use Pinterest to connect with your brand, get pictures of readings, post as often as you like
         - Instagram: use chic picture; build a community around your blog, post 3 times per day
         - offer a personal message and use # tags, do
         - give likes to FB companies you are interested in
  •      Step 9: Be virtual famous
         - selective networking: only pick organizations and events you are really interested in.
         - to be known you need to make friends with people that do the same thing you do and are
           already famous; flatter them and they might promote you
         - comment on their blogs and put a link to your blog/ site
         - after you know the person for awhile  ask if you can write on their blog from time to time and give an idea for an article
         - ask for an interview the famous bloggers to put it on your site, they will post a link from their site to yours and you will get promotion.
         - write about a tarotist you admire

Final piece of advice, set your intentions allowing for abundance into your life, high energy and motivation, joyful work and creativity. Look into your heart and connect with your Higher Self so that best outcome manifests. Get a clear quartz, cleanse it under running water, and sit with it occasionally to get guidance on work and money.

Please take a look at the services I provide (My Tarot Services), if you require more help with your brand. Also there is a  monthly Contest you can read about on "My Tarot Services" page.
