Cartomancy for Magical Manifestation

Presented by Silver Raven

​EVERYONE has tried and mostly succeeded at manifesting something, regardless of  they are a Witch, Tarot reader, walkers of a spiritual path or none of the above. You wished or prayed for a specific outcome

Most here have used Cartomancy to assist with manifestations, for example, as a Tarot Spell.

Many here have done Magic to manifest something, for example, a prosperity or protection spell.

I am here to tell you how combining both Cartomancy and Magic can give you fierce focus on how to totally transform your life.

Please bring a Tarot deck (or two!)

Sympathetic Magic and the ‘Hard’ Cards or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Tower!

Presented by T. Susan Chang

As experienced and evolved tarot readers, we know that no card is truly “good” or “bad,” right? And yet we still might flinch a bit when we draw the Tower or the 10 of Swords or the 5 of Pentacles for ourselves or a client. How can we confront these fears and embrace the gifts of these and other challenging cards? In this presentation, we’ll discuss how to meet these cards on their own territory through observation and tracking; and—more importantly—how to work with them magically and invite them to co-exist with us in constructive ways.

Introduction to the Tarot of the Greek Magical Papyri

Presented by Jason Augustus Newcomb

Jason Augustus Newcomb, the designer of the Greek Magical Papyri (PGM for short) Tarot will discuss practical uses for this amazing deck. The art is based on ancient Greek pottery, late antiquity magical gems and the talismans of the PGM. It is very much a “magical” Tarot with more than 40 talismans from the PGM incorporated into the deck. Unlike most modern Tarot creations it is not really oriented around Qabalah or the Rider-Waite model, but is instead much more directly related to Pythagorean and Platonic philosophy and a chthonic magical journey. In this class I will teach several spells that can be conducted using the cards of the PGM Tarot that incorporate ancient spells and modern techniques, as well as his visionary tools for connecting with the spirits represented in the deck.

Tarot and the Realization of Personal Victories in 2023

Presented by Hattie Parker

Introducing VIBE 432

VIBE 432 is a system inspired by the magic, mystery and profound insightful value gleaned from Tarot. It involves using a small set of specially designed divination cards to assess and gain insights that are then used to support and uplift the energy field of the person consulting the cards. Its purpose is to offer guidance for enhancing effectiveness and success related to any and all circumstances. It can be utilized for self-guided readings and/or for the benefit of clients and people seeking divination inspired guidance.

The name VIBE 432 relates to the ambient sound Vibration 432 hz.  This tone is attributed to be the sound and energetic frequency of love, healing, OM and any related energetic forces of supreme well-being. There is substantial scientific and anecdotal evidence to support the efficacy of this claim. The name VIBE 432 contains the secrets of this tool’s meaning and purpose. VIBE is an acronym for “Visionary Victory through Insight and Breakthrough Energy”. The number 432 in numerology adds to a total of 9 (4 + 3 + 2 = 9). The #9 is a number associated with completion and wholeness. The cards are designed to help people succeed through gaining enhanced wholeness.

Hattie is the creator and a founding partner in the nonprofit organization Vibration 432, Inc., that is committed to promoting healing. In this workshop she will demonstrate and guide participants in how to use the VIBE 432 system for personal and professional purposes. To facilitate a workshop hands-on demonstration we will use selected cards from a regular Tarot deck. If you want to participate in this activity please bring a deck of Tarot cards to the session.

Don’t Fear the Retrograde

Presented by Marion Kirk

With the surge in popularity of Astrology in recent years, one word arguably more than any other has gained infamy and that is “Retrograde”. We could blame trickster planet Mercury for the fear around this astro phenomenon.

Reading with the Sacred Mysteries Chakra Card Deck

Presented by Victor Daniels

​If you’re a Tarot reader, you can probably do chakra readings with the Sacred Mysteries Chakra Oracle deck. These beautiful cards, illustrated by a world-class artist in the Indian classical tradition, are accompanied by a deeply insightful book that provides an orientation to each chakra and offers thoughts, feelings, physical connections, and awareness and spiritual insights for each card. “I was a little uneasy doing a chakra reading since all I’ve ever read is tarot cards,” said one person after giving her first chakra reading, “but the stunning imagery and card titles, and the outstanding book that comes with the deck, allowed me to slide right into them.” The book’s wealth of insights can even inform your readings with Tarot cards.

This presentation describes the chakra essentials in ways that draw from the spiritual traditions of India and a from contemporary Western psychology.
