Understanding the metaphysical dimension of my world empowered me in a way that brought greater personal accomplishments when I navigated the physical dimension. I hope these guided metaphysical studies will do the same for you.
Take a step into different waters this 2017 and learn something you didn’t even know you didn’t know. Fair warning: As an instructor, I am strict, demanding, and will inundate you with an intense package of information that I expect you to treat with the same dedication you would treat a graduate level seminar in the field of your concentration. I never hand-hold or baby, so my pedagogical approach is for the independent-minded.
Astrology Course for Beginners
$ 40 USD | with optional $10 customized add-on
Installment plans accepted.
This is a beginner’s course, albeit an intense one, on Western astrology, which will teach you how to read both a Placidus and a Whole Signs tropical chart. Taught primarily through a workbook set, you will gain a solid foundation in the study and have the skeleton and beginnings of your own astrology grimoire to show for it all. Producing your own astrology grimoire will be the main focus of the course and your “final project.” Videos of my talking head help you navigate your workbook. Although the course content itself is beginner level astrology, presuming no prior knowledge on the subject, the pedagogical approach is rigorous.
A Comparative Analysis of Fortune Telling and Divination in Tarot: A Chinese Perspective
FREE
Is there any value for a tarot reader to make a distinction between fortune telling and divination? How might Chinese perspectives compare to or inform Western perspectives? This workshop will examine the Chinese etymological origins of “fortune telling” and “divination,” apply medieval esoteric Taoist texts to tarot reading, juxtapose those texts with what Western occultists have said on the matter, and propose a theoretical framework through which to read tarot, as either a fortune teller or a diviner, though the two are not mutually exclusive.

Learning the Opening of the Key
$49 USD at the Tarot Readers Academy
The Opening of the Key is a five-operation inter-disciplinary divinatory procedure rooted in the adept traditions of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Today, given the publicly available records of the procedure, it can be used by tarot practitioners from all backgrounds. Learning the Opening of the Key (OOTK) isn’t about learning the OOTK. It is about deepening your understanding of divination. Through a series of eleven video lectures, a 50-page OOTK workbook, and a wealth of study guides, handouts, templates, and quick reference sheets, you will not only master the OOTK procedurally, but also learn basic astrology, numerology, and the Kabbalah.
Note: “Learning the Opening of the Key” was first offered during Tarot Summer School 2016 at the Tarot Readers Academy. It is now a legacy course at the Academy.

Tarot and Shadow Work for Activating Dynamic Power
$ 28 USD
We often hear about using tarot for shadow work. This course takes that concept a step further to address how tarot and shadow work can be utilized to cultivate dynamic personal power. The more personal power you wield, the greater likelihood of success you’ll enjoy in achieving your goals. The course addresses how to source power from five specific reservoirs within you, corresponding with the architecture and metaphysical framework of the tarot. In terms of tarot proficiency, this course will be suitable for novices, but the course content itself may be intense. Tarot, social psychology, chakra strengthening, self-reflection, personal ritual, spell-crafting, and basic East Asian Qi energy work will be covered.
Note: “Tarot and Shadow Work for Activating Dynamic Power” will be offered during Tarot Summer School 2017 at the Tarot Readers Academy. Stay tuned for more details.

Tarot as a Tool for Craft
$ 15 USD
An indispensable course for any practitioner of craft seeking to develop a deeper and broader metaphysical connection with the tarot, this video plus workbook course will cover using tarot for self-empowerment and how to adjust form and mechanics of tarot reading when using it as a tool for divination, for amplifying psychic ability, for communion with spirit contacts, or for mediumship work. This is an intermediate course that presumes proficiency with tarot (also presuming the Rider-Waite-Smith system) and that you are a practitioner of or deeply interested in occult craft. Subject matter also runs into esoteric and mystical applications of the tarot, so the tone of the course might not be right for everyone. Also, just so you are aware: the tenor and value propositions of this course goes in a diametrically different direction from Holistic Tarot.
Triggering Creativity with Tarot: Using Tarot for Creative and Artistic Projects
FREE
Albert Einstein attributes his most ground-breaking insights not to logic or mathematics, but to intuition and inspiration or, as artists and writers often express it, to the muses. However, the one trait believed about the muses, about how intuition and inspiration hits us, is that it comes only when it comes, almost divinely, and the artist or writer cannot call upon it at will. Yet through tarot, we can learn how to harness intuitive-creativity at will. Tarot facilitates the transcendent experience needed for the muses to speak to us when we call upon them to speak. Learn how to use tarot to trigger your intuitive-creativity and apply the tarot fundamentals taught in my book, Holistic Tarot to remove creative blockages. This is the replay of a free 45-minute webinar hosted by North Atlantic Books back in 2015. The webinar also comes with a free 20-page handout.
