As we continue the StaarCon 5 AfterGlow through December and January, there will still be quite a few great events in the lounge on Accelevents before the AfterGlow ends on January 26.

December starts strong on Monday, December 1, with Alyassia Taylor’s monthly Tarot Vibes: A Full Moon Prep Journey. We appreciate Alyassia’s commitment to StaarCon over this year and look forward to her offerings on StaarCast and at StaarCon 6.

If you have some time off over the holiday weekend, use your StaarCon 5 ticket to watch or re-watch recordings of some great conference presentations.

I want to thank those who have signed up to be beta testers for StaarCast!

This week, we are testing the video and meeting functionality. A StaarCast presenter will be able to hold meetings, just like the AfterGlow, with several important differences.

Presenters will be able to offer pay-per-view video presentations to StaarCast members. They will be able to record a webinar or meeting for later viewing by meeting attendees and offer it to members as a pay-per-view upgrade. Presenters will receive their share of the proceeds when payouts occur.

In-person speakers at StaarCon 6 will have the opportunity to offer their recorded presentations to StaarCast members as a pay-per-view offering, receiving their share of the proceeds just like virtual presenters! StaarCast members who choose to watch the conference virtually can purchase access to a single presentation or the entire live event.

Our testing will continue. We will be contacting beta-testers soon.

One of the great advantages of a year-long online conference is that it allows us to explore seasonal themes. Tomorrow, Thursday, November 13, join Serena Fox for her monthly Mystic Lounging at 5:30 pm ET. Bring your cards and an open heart, and enjoy some conversation, magic, and sacred play.

On Sunday, November 23, join me, Christiana Gaudet, at 7 pm ET for Winter Tarot. We will discuss all the ways we can infuse tarot into our holiday traditions, and do some holiday-themed tarot exercises.

We are still accepting applications for beta testers for StaarCast, our permanent online home for live classes and recordings from all your favorite StaarCon presenters. We expect StaarCast to be live and ready to join by the end of the StaarCon 5 AfterGlow on January 26, 2026.

If you have a StaarCon 5 ticket that allows you to watch recordings of presentations from the conference, please note that we have until the end of the AfterGlow to view those recordings.

One very popular not-to-be-missed session was Jennifer Cooper Steidley. Jenifer is an artist who has designed two tarot decks. She is also a certified second-degree black belt in Taekwondo. Her presentation on tarot and martial arts was fun and fascinating. Make sure to see it before the end of the AfterGlow, and get ready for new, fabulous sessions on StaarCast.

StaarCast News

This week, the development team is performing final testing before we open the site to the beta testers.

The site will provide a permanent location to save the live recordings created at StaarCon and continue the AfterGlow after the live event concludes.

We want StaarCast to serve as a permanent, year-long convention held in the virtual world. StaarCast members and in-person attendees will have the opportunity to view recordings or participate in virtual events during StaarCon 6, and then after with an annual membership to StaarCast.

StaarCast presenters will be able to use the meeting rooms, chat with members, and create scheduled presentations!

Planned updates to StaarCast will make it even more user-friendly, allowing virtual attendees to view a single presentation or recording on demand, among many other improvements we’ve made based on your feedback.

To sum it up, the StaarCon 6 Main Stage events will be broadcast live on StaarCast, where possible and practical. They will be available as recordings after the live events conclude. StaarCast members can access the recordings with a monthly or yearly subscription, or pay-per-view. StaarCast presenters can use the meeting rooms to create recorded classes or workshops that can be shared by StaarCast members.
