The 10 of Cups in a Waite-Smith based deck is often called the 'happy families' card. The fact that it came up here in the reading is a wonderful example of how an apparently irrelevant card can appear in a spread. If this wasn't a beginner's taster, one could move more deeply into how the mix of feelings - joy and belonginess - to a 'family' of people e.g. tarot reader's (a broadening of the concept of family), could be an outcome of the effort involved in studying and moving into the world of tarot.
Of course this is only one possible interpretation - mine -, and in the trailer we see another person's interpretation. While having an opinion is okay ... and not seeing the card reader's interpretation as appropriate, is a perfectly valid opinion, to hold, it nonetheless, seems to me that the expression of that opinion could have been presented in a more kindly and constructive manner.
The idea of demystifying tarot through such a DVD is one that is long overdue. The question about a reader's possible psychism, and her answer, was one that needs to be asked and answered. All too often those who seek readings are looking for us to pull a whole hutch of rabbits out of a shop full of hats ... nice to see the question addressed simply and clearly.
It is always well to start simply and move then into more complex information. It appears that this DVD may very well do this.
