Astrology Course for Beginners

$ 65 USD

Optional: + $10 customized add-on

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.

Accessing Genetic Memory Through Tarot: Ancestral Connections and Past Life Recall

$ 33 USD

The contents of this online course was first presented at the Tarot Readers Studio in New York, New York on April 28, 2018. If you weren’t able to attend that event but are interested in the subject, then this course is for you. Although slightly modified from the 2018 Readers Studio master class, the ideas and research conveyed remain the same.

Recent scientific findings have established a link between genetics, inheriting memories from our ancestors, and those inherited memories being retained within our neurons. In other words, a deep reservoir of intuitive knowledge is resident within our own genetic and cellular memory.

This course will address using tarot as a tool for triggering an altered state of consciousness, which can then facilitate retrieval of genetic memory from our unconscious mind. We will be using ritualized tarot techniques to recall generations past, to have conversations with our ancestors through tarot, to find out who they were, where they were from, what their lives were like, and most importantly, what messages they have to share with us, for us at present and for their own future lineage. We then transport the tarot techniques to a different level of genetic memory, one that helps us to access our own past lives.

Tarot and Shadow Work for Activating Dynamic Power

$25 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” was first offered during Tarot Summer School 2017 at the Tarot Readers Academy.

Tarot, Occultism, and Modern Witchcraft

$25 USD

This class is structured after a graduate-level course with a series of lectures plus guided tarot readings ritualized and crafted to show rather than tell you about tarot in witchcraft.

The lecture portion covers a comparative analysis of exoteric, psychology-based tarot reading vs. an esoteric, psychic-based tarot reading, and also tarot as a witch’s tool. We’ll cover the history and legacy of tarot in Western occultism, focusing in on applying Hermetic principles to the tarot. Then we’ll consider the role of tarot and witchcraft in the modern era.

Note: “Tarot, Occultism, and Modern Witchcraft” was first offered during Tarot Summer School 2018 at the Tarot Readers Academy.

Tarot as a Tool for Craft

$ 20 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.

Learning the Opening of the Key

Origins of the Akashic Records

TBD

Exploring translations of texts dated back to 200 B.C., this course will reveal the origins of the Akashic Records and how the Records were first instructed. This course will teach how to read the Akashic Records based on the instructions found in the earliest texts we have that address the concept and first principles of the Akasha. Then we’ll talk about how we can re-interpret that for modernity.

Although the course is not intended to be religious or to promote any specific religious ideology, we will be talking about Akasagarbha, the bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism associated with the Akasha.

Tarot as Keys to the Underworld

TBD

The Underworld is a projection of that psycho-spiritual realm beneath the waking state of this material plane. It’s a collective unconscious that subsists below physical reality. Different laws of physics and different laws of nature apply in this psycho-spiritual realm, which in psychological terms, is simply to say we are not who we are in these subterranean realms.

In “Tarot as Keys to the Underworld,” you’ll be guided by video into a subterranean state of mind, taking your tarot cards with you on this journey, reading there, and then returning with memories of those experiences, sensations, and life lessons.

This version of the katabasis reading method is different from the one first presented at the 2018 UK Tarot Conference in London. The one presented at the UK Tarot Conference was intended for collective journeying in a group setting where I was physically present to monitor, walk around and see you, guide you, and in the event of an exigent situation, would be able to tend to you immediately. This online independent study course is designed for solitary journeying, and therefore it has been modified accordingly.
