The Secret Tarot

All abstract ideas can become sacred images when one considers them, not as the end but rather as the beginningof the way of knowledge of spiritual reality. ~Valentin TomburgThe Tarot reveals essential archetypes as a journey, which makes it an ideal way to explore psychic patterns. By seating ourselves within the teachings of each archetype, we begin to comprehend the distinct energies of our world and to view ourselves within the context of a larger dynamic exchange.

This workshop explores the esoteric teachings of The Magician and its practical application to our lives, accompanied by the masterwork 'Meditations on the Tarot' by Valentin Tomburg. We will explore The Magician: and his/her fingerprint in myth, psychology and symbolism. The Magician archetype deals with themes such as will, communication, concentration without effort and the power of language.

This course will connect this symbol to its relevance in our personal experience through practical, creative and esoteric exercises that will allow you to embody and experience the deep meaning of this card (and the Tarot as a whole) in your daily life.
