What a lot of people don't understand about the Tarot is that it's not just a divinatory device - it's an initiatory device.

This means:

When engaged with regularly, the whole-world-encompassing symbols of the Tarot can take you on a journey that introduces you to vast, previously-unsuspected depths of your own being.

Which is even better than using a Celtic Cross to figure out if the person you went on a date with last week will call you back ;)

There's many ways to study and work with the Tarot...

... over the years, I've come to feel that the best way to go far down the rabbit hole with it is to have a daily practice of pulling a "Tarot card of the day" and then later reflecting on the "rhymes" that show up during the day with the meaning of the card.

You can hear me discuss the practice here on my new audio series, the Alchemical Journey.

Personally, I use the Thoth deck by Aleister Crowley and Lady Frieda Harris, which is also the official deck of the WEALTH program.

In this audio, you can hear me discussing exactly why I think the Thoth deck is the most effective Tarot to use for alchemical initiation, along with a story of how I got drawn into this particular branch of the occult universe.

P.S. WEALTH: the exclusive community where leaders come into their full power via the Hermetic Arts, will re-open for application in September of this year.

WEALTH is an immersive program that features:

-- a Foundational Trio of practices that grounds the community and serves as an on-going thread through our various projects

-- A structured degree system based on the Tarot that members can rise through for community recognition of their work and achievement, like colored belts in a martial arts dojo

-- Sensational social events called Power-Ups (hot, fun virtual communication games) and Gift Circles (wherein members exchange valuable connections, services, and gifts)

-- A lively forum with coaches answering questions every weekday

-- monthly Solve et Coagula practices connected to the Zodiacal season

-- access to the famous MONEY course and the LOVE course (value: over $4000)

-- Invitation to a variety of monthly workshops including:

a Monthly Mentorship Conversation
a Business and Writing Training
coach-led Practicum sessions
and a graduate-level Study Seminar
