There is more to divination than listing sets of keywords. Learn how to combine divination systems respectfully by allowing each oracle to have its say in the conversation according to its own language. For this class, please bring at least two different divination systems with you so you can practice what you learn.
You've read the books. You do the work, and you're confident in your divination abilities. But when you're caught off-guard, and your usual references are out of reach, what do you do? Come learn how Christine Cunningham Ashworth took what she learned from her brother Scott, among others, and made it work - her way. Learn how to trust your studied knowledge and apply your skills when you're on your own.
The tarot deck, taken as a whole, represents the individual and each card some parrt of us; the 9 of Swords our despair, the 3 of Pentacles our productivity, etc. etc. The tarot deck is also alive with traditional correspondences - elements, numbers, zodiacal and planetary associations. Â
For example, airy swords are the elemental opposite of earthy pentacles. So... if the 9 of Swords is an airy card, can we counter it with its earthy opposite number, the 9 of Pentacles? Can we find a remedy for despair in the solitary works of beauty found in the 9 of Pentacles?
In this presentation, we'll explore how we can bring together these two modes of interpretation, the qualitative and the esoteric, to design our own magical formulas for self-transformation and become the physicians of our own souls.
This is a nuts and bolts foundational primer on the advent of occult tarot, who the key players were, and how esotericism popularized during 18th century France continues to influence occultism in tarot today. We’ll be covering the implications of esoteric teachings hidden in plain sight and the five key influences in occult tarot architecture: Hermeticism, Pythagorean mysticism, Hellenistic Astrology, Renaissance Alchemy, and the Kabbalah. We’ll then explore how these five influences converge through the lenses of Gnosticism, Rosicrucianism, and Freemasonry, lending themselves to the esoteric tarot designs of modern history.
The tarot has been re-interpreted hundreds of times in order to provide new and increasingly unique ways for readers to connect with its imagery. In this presentation, award-winning card designer Stacey Williams-Ng walks us through her process in creating an entirely unique tarot, one that draws upon the stories embedded in American music to represent the arcana. How might a multi-card spread be even more specific (or even risk being a little off-base) when the images get re-imagined within tight themes?
This is going to be a fun and interactive presentation that not only pulls back the veil on the artist's process but invites the readers in the audience to consider the ways that thematic tarot decks can provide eye-opening and fresh readings.

How to Win at Life: Gamifying Spiritual Growth" revolutionizes the perspective on work and play, challenging the belief that all four-letter words are negative. This interactive master class harmoniously integrates work and play in personal development. Breaking down the perceived opposition between "work" and "play," the class invites participants to explore how both are crucial to spiritual growth.
Using the transformative "52 Weeks INjoy" decks as bridges between the serious and joyous aspects of life, the session redefines work as a journey of self-discovery and improvement. Similarly, play is presented not just as leisure but as a powerful tool for introspection and healing. Participants are encouraged to view their inner child as a guide, not a hindrance, using the deck as a conduit for playful self-exploration. Embrace the positive side of four-letter words, integrate work and play, and embark on a journey toward a more balanced, fulfilling life. Join us for an inspiring session that unlocks the potential for joy, growth, and a deeper connection with your higher self.

Have you dreamt of writing that book? Maybe not the NGAN (Next Great American Novel), but the kind of story YOU want to read? Bring your cards, your notebook, and a pen (unless you possess an eidetic memory) to learn at least one new way of meeting your characters. If we have time, we will practice a second method. Regardless, you will have all the information on the handout.
One thing is certain. Characters are the blood of any story. If the reader doesn't like the character, they will not finish the book. (Insert VOICE OF DOOOOOM!) Let Arwen show you how to create a character who will leap off the pages of your story. Even villains need backstory. This deceptively simple spread can be used for any character including that baker down the street from where your main character works.
In this class, we’ll start with general concepts of manifesting, then move on to using the moon’s phases and astrological signs to generate power and focus toward your specific manifestations. We’ll cover how to create a manifestation altar with tarot cards, crystals, candles, and symbolic tokens to further focus energy on creation of the desired outcome. Practical examples of common manifestations will guide you in applying the information after class. Come learn how to be a master manifester!

My favorite acting warm-ups are also FANTASTIC for tarot readers. It never occurred to me that other diviners might not shake out, roll their spines, loosen their jaws, and warm up before and after sessions to release any lingering energies that aren’t yours or helpful for you. An open channel for speaking and singing is the same unencumbered pathway needed for giving clear readings. So today, we'll explore an intersection of theater and tarot, the open channel of your spine. You'll walk away with a deeper knowledge of your body and tools to come back into alignment, able to be an open channel.
In this workshop, Catiara will teach you a few different methods of reading reversed cards. She will explain her beliefs and philosophies surrounding reversed cards.

Catiara will instruct and encourage you to develop and trust your intuition to interpret the cards accordingly.
In this class, we will penetrate the glamour of the so-called left-hand magical path and unpack - at a granular level - some of the implications of and risks associated with consciously choosing to work with black magic (whether through divination, vision work, astrology, or ritual) within the current human epoch.
Can you feel the heat? The Thoth deck is spicy (to say the least). This class will offer you tools to begin reading one of the most complex tarot traditions.
