If you just started reading Tarot cards, it could feel like so much is consumed! Let's just put pressure on everyone to understand "correct”!Tarot's reading sounds like a great talent - you'd be very popular at parties! Everyone seems to be fascinated by Tarot, but no one really understands. Learning to read Tarot cards takes knowledge and imagination together.If you had a tarot, your psychic would ask you to choose cards from the tarot deck, then you will assess your future based on what you see in your card images.Typically you can read with some concerns you want to know, or you need advice on particular areas of your life. The cards you select represent the areas in which you focus.The cards that represent your reading should be notes to you, how you can improve and where you need to adjust. We will give you advice on what you do well, confidence where something is incorrect, and above all positivity and hope for your future.Nevertheless, it is profoundly disquieting to try to enter the wide universe of tarot readings of which there are centuries of literature. There are many tarot laws, which I think have been used in the past to have this underground occult activity and to keep people away, which was used as a security mechanism. Now, I don't think that's as important. That's why I wrote this tutorial. I hope everybody can interpret tarot.Here are few of the things you will learn from the audiobook:The origin of TarotA beginner's guide to reading and understanding Tarot cards and their meaningsTarot card meaningsTarot card spreadsBasic Tarot spreads and their usesTarot card numbers and their meaningsSteps to bond with your Tarot deckHow trust-wordy are free Tarot readings websites?Basic Tarot interpretation tipSteps to increase your change of an accurate Tarot card readingCrystals, essential oils, incense, you ungekürzt.

Blues Soufflé
This CD came about because I noticed that I was writing a number of blues songs and also that I was playing some of my older, folk-style songs in a much more bluesy manner. I figured I could rework some of these older folk songs into blues songs and produce an album that would be all in a blues style. This CD contains 8 new songs and 5 older songs (folk/rock songs that I have attempted to 'bluesify') and one instrumental piece. My style of blues is on the light side (I tend to vary the standard blues chords) so that's why I titled this CD 'Blues Soufflé'. I asked my wife to bake a soufflé for me with blue food-coloring in it. As you can see, the soufflé fell after it came out of the oven but I think a fallen soufflé is more appropriate for a blues album than a successful soufflé, so I went ahead and used it for the CD's front cover. 1. Monica Harmonica: A few years ago I couldn't play the harmonica at all. My wife bought me a harmonica because she heard on a radio talk show that people play them when they're stuck in traffic, so I had it in the car but still rarely played it. Then I decided to write a song that would feature this instrument (it would be about a female virtuoso harmonica player who lives in the subway). Composing this song turned out to be a great motivator for practicing on the harmonica. For those not familiar with harmonica terminology, both 'harp' and 'tin sandwich' refer to the harmonica and a 'draw' involves bending notes by pulling air in (rather than blowing air out). There are two major types of harp: chromatic and diatonic. Chromatic harps have all 12 tones but it's difficult to bend notes, so I use diatonic harps. For this song I actually bound two harps together (each one in a different key) and I switched back and forth rapidly between them while playing harmonica riffs. (Here's a verse: Monica Harmonica's a bit bizarre. Blows smoke rings through brass reed bars. Sports dirty tattoos and wicked scars. Won't say 'Hello', just 'Au revoir.') 2. Turnin' Me Blue: This new song was inspired by a guitar chord riff I discovered, which is: Em G A7 A# A7 Em7add 4. I was considering the cold/temperature-sense of the word 'blue' and that is I how came up with the title. In this song the singer's girl has left him, but it's his own fault, because he's chosen a life of crime. (Here are first verses: 'Babe, I've got it made, so why rock the boat? Hit a liquor store today. Can buy ya pearls and fur coats. Babe, why ya gotta leave? When it's all there to take? You're makin' me grieve, When ya say it's a mistake.') 3. All-In-Good-Time Blues: I felt I could improve my folk song 'All in Good Time' by making it more bluesy. (The folk version appears on my first CD: Nothing Seems Like What It Seems.) The blues rearrangement required substantially altering the melody (and the song now includes a key shift). The lyrics were also altered, but just a bit. 4. Exhaustion: I composed both the music and the lyrics to this song on a very hot spring night. I was tossing and turning in bed and could not sleep because there was a Santa Ana heat spell. The air was so still and oppressive and since I couldn't sleep I decided to write a song about how I was feeling at that moment. (Here are first two verses: 'I lie awake in the naked night. Can't sleep in spite of, Exhaustion. My body burns. My heart just yearns, twists and turns, in Exhaustion. My skin sheds tears as my eyes are seared, With shimmering sight, in the black of night. Visions of you, I must pursue. My soul now aches, with Exhaustion.') 5. Physical Woman: I was thinking of Janis Joplin's style of singing and that inspired me to write this blues song, which is meant to be belted out 'nice 'n' slow' and with lots of bluesy vocal improvisations. It's about a guy trying to convince his woman to not get seduced by 'Some intellectual who claims a high I. Q. But what can his incorporeal mind really do? With a physical woman, Oh, such a physical, physical woman, yeah, such a physical, physical woman, like you?' 6. Young-Old-Man Blues: This is a more bluesy rearrangement of my song 'Young Old Man' (which appeared originally in my first CD: Nothing Seems Like What It Seems). 7. Ghost-Trek Blues: The original song ('The Trek') was a folk/rock song with a mystical kind of sound to it. This blues version has a completely different melody and very different chords, so I consider it a different song. The lyrics tell a similar story but have been altered to fit the meter of this new song. 8. Full-Of-It Blues: This is a rearrangement of my song 'Full Of If' (which appeared on my CD: Nothing Seems Like What It Seems). I have altered both the lyrics and the melody extensively to make it more bluesy. 9. Hidden in Plain Sight: We all have our own private demons that torment us. I was quite depressed when I wrote this new song. Expressing my state of mind in words and music helped me feel better. I think that playing the guitar and creating songs is great therapy. (Here are some of the lyrics: 'Can't escape, not really, 'cause I'm stuck with me.Just myself to blame. What a pain. And hidden in plain sight, the height, of absurdity.' ) 10. Lost-Cause Blues: 'Lost Cause' was one of the first songs I ever wrote (many years ago, but I never played it publicly and I didn't copyright it until 2006, just before it came out on my second CD: Our Unwinding Time). Recently, I began playing this song in a less folksy and more laid-back, bluesy manner (and with a key shift). My mother-in-law had said that some of my folk songs were 'too wordy' so I cut out over 20 words from the lyrics of the folk version and also changed a few words here and there. 11. No-Holds Barred Blues: I wanted to write another blues song but had no musical instrument nearby, so I decided to write the lyrics for a to-be-composed-later blues song. I thought of how 'blues' could also refer to a color and that gave me the idea of having a blues song that would mention many other colors with the singer being 'blue' because he's lost access to many colors (which can happen in prison). Later, I came up with a bluesy melody for the lyrics. (Here are first verses: 'Ain't got no red wine, Ain't got no green grass. Ain't got no sapphire sun. Just an orange jumpsuit outcast. Know what I got? The Stripe City blues. A black-barred, cell-in-hell, upstate, no-holds barred blues.') 12. Riffin' Raccoons 1: This is an instrumental piece, so the title is somewhat arbitrary. This title came about because, the night I started composing it, I saw raccoons in my back yard. The violin-like sound is me playing a synth keyboard. I also play bottleneck steel guitar, nylon acoustic guitar, electric bass and both D & E harps on this song. 13. Tar Paper Blues (Revisited): This song appeared earlier in my CD: Butterfly's Release. Since it is a very bluesy song, I decided to include it here. This version in a different key and has a slightly different arrangement (for example, there is no percussion here so I can speed up and slow down in this version). 14. First-Time Country Song: My brother likes country music and had told me that I should try my hand at composing country songs. Also, I have beautiful friend who lives in S. Carolina, so both these facts influenced me in attempting my very first (and so far, only) country song. (Here is the first verse: 'She likes country more, than even her malt liquor. So I'm tryin' to compose, God only knows, a simple country song, that sticks like liquorice, for my sweet, soft, southern dish.')- Shop: odax

Jumpin' on the Bandwagon
'...We're not trying to push back any frontiers...' - part of the lyrics from 'Jumpin' on the Bandwagon' which express the band's intentions for this album. '...we try to use the familiarity and durability of past classics as a springboard to express our own feelings about life in the new millennium', says bandleader Kit Packham in his sleeve notes. He goes on to say a few words about each track which draw on a wide variety of musical genres within a broad jazz and blues spectrum. You may hear Louis Jordan, Ian Dury, Willie Dixon, Charles Mingus, Chuck Berry, Viv Stanshall, Louis Prima, Noel Coward, Mose Allison... or none of these! What you will hear is some great songs played by a great band. R E V I E W S Humorous blues lyrics don't come any better - cleverer or funnier - nowadays than those from Kit Packham's pen, and there are two or three new examples here which are as good as anything I've heard from him before. 'We Don't Normally Work This Cheap' in particular is exceptionally witty, and actually had me laughing out loud the first time I heard it. 'Cleaning Up My Act' too, is as amusing a piece of 1920s-style-jazz-vaudeville as you'll hear this side of the Bonzos. Anyone expecting this surfeit of good humour to equate with a lack of musical seriousness would be wildly mistaken, since Packham's comedy sits upon a bedrock of real jump'n'jive know-how and instrumental earnestness - this is a band, after all, which even gives a 'beats-per-minute' reading beside each track title. Personnel-wise, the band is not greatly changed from that which appeared on 1999's From Top to Toe, with Billy Jenkins again displaying the subtler side of his guitar range and tastefully producing throughout. Also worthy of mention here are the keyboard skills of Perry White, Simon Da Silva's trumpet work, and the fine rhythm backline of Chris Rodel (double bass) and Kenrick Rowe (drums). Sax duties are shared between Tracey Mendham and Kit himself. The songs, all originals this time, display a wide range of influences, not just the blues, jazz and jive tunes Packham praises in his amusingly honest sleeve note, but also Caribbean and Latin American music. The band switch styles and tempos with ease, and although Kit is not the greatest singer on the block, he plays the "personality vocalist" card with some aplomb. All things considered it's a very impressive set. Rating: 8 - Paul Lewis (copyright 2001 Blueprint magazine) S S S S S S S S S S S S I confess that I haven't checked, but with this CD, I'm pretty sure I now have the first reference to David Beckham's haircut in my collection! Singer and saxophonist Kit Packham inhabits a nightmare world where clouds follow him around just to rain on him, his cat disappears under mountains of junk mail, maniac truckers rule the roads and only leave the cab "for diesel, the toilet or a doner kebab", his mobile phone never works and, when he does get to play a gig, he finds that "a big screen above us plays an old cup final, the dressing room doubles as the men's urinal" - welcome to the third millennium! As you may have guessed then, all the material is original - very original at times - if occasionally just a little too wordy (but these songs do stay in your head long after the album has ended). Much of the music is jump or jive, owing a lot to the likes of Louis (take your pick - Jordan, Prima, even a snatch of Satch) but often with it's own little musical twists, most often provided by guitarist Billy Jenkins, a well-known innovator on the UK jazz and blues scenes, whose solos and fills are kind of, er, Jimi Hendrix plays Tiny Grimes as imagined by Vernon Reid of Living Color. Drummer Kenrick Rowe also deserves a mention for being totally on the ball, though there are no slackers here. There are a couple of Caribbean styled pieces in "Fried Bananas" (cod Louis Jordan plays cod calypso) and the mellow "Simple Things In Life", "Junk Mail" is almost Little Richard style, "Rough and Ready Blues" is virtually that, and the final number is a lyrically very clever and up to the minute song with a twenties jazz accompaniment and delivery. Oh, and "Big Swinging Dick" is about "a long-legged sleuth with a sideline in syncopation" - why, what did you think it was? Yeah, this is nice. If you like your jump-jivers note for note from old 78s, avoid this like the plague, otherwise, if what you have read here has piqued your interest, check it out by all means.... And by the way, don't take the title too literally. Kit has been purveying this brand of music around South London and environs for well over twenty years now. Norman Darwen (copyright 2001 Blues & Rhythm) S S S S S S S S S S S S This is Packham's best album to date. All originals from the leader with help from guitarist Billy Jenkins and arranged within a framework of jump, jive and boogie. The band (One Jump Ahead) play like a well-oiled machine but not like clockwork. There's loose rhythmic feel and the vibrant happy sound of people enjoying themselves. Packham and Jenkins supply some quality tunes including a number that will strike a chord with many bands (We Don't Normally Work This Cheap). The lyrics cover all the deflating experiences of a struggling band and even established ones no doubt. The Big Swinging Dick is obviously about a private eye with rhythm and is a good rousing number to boot! A good mixture of serious blues and tongue-in-cheek numbers that could make a party swing. David Lands (copyright 2001 Jazz Journal International) S S S S S S S S S S S S ........Once again Kit Packham and One Jump Ahead have come up with a highly entertaining album..... As always, the music from this big swinging outfit is superb and such is the range - everything from Chicago blues to boogie-woogie, jumpin' jive and and good time singalong - that this CD is a complete show in itself.......
