If you’re familiar with the Golden Dawn, you’ll know that the Tarot is part of a greater esoteric system; one that beautifully weaves together astrology, tarot, and Kabbalah into a greater whole. We first see these ideas being used together in the 1800’s when Eliphas Levi published a book describing...

If it’s your first time getting a tarot reading (or doing one for yourself) one of the most influential aspects of a tarot reading happens before the reading even starts. Asking the right kind of questions can make your readings productive, illuminating and insightful - and can help steer you...
If you’ve ever drawn a few Court Cards for your reading, and then felt completely dumbfounded by what they could represent, you’re not alone. They have a reputation for being notoriously hard to decipher. Luckily, developing systems for how these cards connect and relate to each other help greatly with...
