Magick Altman – Journey Through The Sacred Tarot

When you know how to work with this magical deck, you have a map for your life from which you can find direction and soul validation — and that can help you shift from reacting to what you perceive as life happening to you… to understanding your life as lessons being revealed.

Discover What Lies in the Cards…

The Tarot has been illustrated in hundreds of ways by hundreds of artists. Its archetypally potent 78 cards include the Major Arcana — 22 cards that reveal the underlying concepts and potential lessons of the material world, the intuitive mind, and the realm of change… with intriguing names, such as The Priestess, The Emperor, The Magician, The Lovers, and also, The Hanged Man, The Tower, as well as Lust/Strength, and Art/Temperance.

The remaining 56 cards are known as the Minor Arcana — illustrating worldly, human themes, including conflict or moral issues, emotions and relationships, security and finance, career, ambition, and activism.

These include The Queen of Swords, The Prince of Wands, The Princess of Cups, The Knight of Disks, and many more, waiting to reveal to you — with unabashed honesty — the realm of personality (yours).

According to Magick, “The best Tarot reading will confirm your innermost thoughts and invariably give you some synchronistic signposts to guide you on your path… You have a role to play in the theater of life. The Tarot opens a window into your unique drama, involving all the characters, actions, and emotions that make for great entertainment and profound lessons at the same time.”

Magick, who has over 30 years of experience in the field of Tarot, is the author of the popular book, Magick Tarot: A Journey of Self-Realization, which combines instruction on the Tarot with her own autobiographical journey through the cards and life. She is also an activist for the Earth and a spoken-word artist.

An e-book version of Magick’s book has been added to the course materials for this training, and you will receive instant access to it when you sign up.

Whether you’re a novice or professional Tarot reader, Magick’s insights bring new perspectives to this age-old practice… providing rich ideas on its spiritual, psychological, astrological, numerological, and cultural aspects, and establishing it as a trusted guide.

In this fast-paced, overwhelming world, the Tarot can be a “wise friend” that can help you better understand your role, your gifts, your challenges, and your potential — giving you the validation you need to trust your own knowing about how and when to act.

It can help you — especially at times of transition — find reconnection to your authentic Self… as the archetypal energies of its powerful images are activated within you, helping awaken your true nature and open to your truest purpose.

What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules

In this 7-step transformational journey, author, Tarot reader, and teacher Magick Altman will guide you through the 78 cards of the deck to discover how this magical tool can serve as a wise “companion,” revealing and validating your soul’s wisdom and serving as a mirror reflecting the many possibilities for your life.

This course will feature video teachings, training sessions, and experiential practices with Magick. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to fully understand the power of the Tarot deck and be able to do your own readings.

Module 1 (Weeks 1-3): Meet the Majors — Your Spiritual & Earthly Family

Your journey through the Tarot will naturally evolve from birth to maturity, as the cards reveal and validate your soul’s wisdom, and you discover the steps you need to take towards greater self-discovery.

During the first three course sessions, you’ll “meet” the Major Arcana, your spiritual and earthly “family,” who will guide you to and through the realm of self-realization. You’ll follow the stages of the journey as they unfold sequentially in the deck, allowing each card to guide your next step.

Session 1: Starting Your Journey as the Ever Optimistic ‘Fool’ (November 7)
The Fool reminds us that everything is possible right now. There are no limitations (only those that are self-imposed). Like the Fool, who’s bursting with enthusiasm for the adventure itself, we have our dreams and imagination. And at a soul level, we all contain this free spirit, which will keep appearing on our journey through the cards, urging us to take the next leap of faith.

In this session, you’ll:

Experience a guided meditation into the world of the Priestess Card to ground you in the work to come
Understand yourself and your journey on a deeper level by meeting your spiritual and earthly parents in the cards
Explore your own upbringing by meeting the Tarot Card archetypes of your secular, religious, and social influences
Discover a new way to be in the world — by letting go of reactivity, and becoming a responsive and aware participant in this time of profound transition
Session 2: Stepping Out Into the Realm of Earthly Reality (November 14)
You’ll step into the Realm of Earthly Reality, where underlying concepts and potential lessons of the material world — such as Justice/Adjustment — await. You’ll open to your adult years, exploring the cards to find your footing in the world.

On this leg of the journey, you’re faced with choices, responsibilities, and possibilities — without constant guidance and direction from family and community… It’s a time when anything can happen!

In this session, you’ll:

Experience a guided meditation to discover the Libra archetype of the Justice Card and the laws of Nature — and how they can help you navigate your journey
Deepen your inner wisdom through the archetype of the Hermit Card
Start to act on your passions through an exploration of the Lust/Strength and Fortune Cards
Understand the importance of surrender through the archetype of the Hanged Man Card
Start to integrate your newfound knowledge through the alchemy of life depicted in the Art Card
Session 3: Exploring the Realm of Self-Realization (November 21)
At this point on your journey through the cards, you’ll make your first encounter with your shadow self, as the Devil Card tempts you with your addictive patterns, and the Tower Card plays on your shadow aspects of fear and doubt.

To take the next evolutionary leap, we must face these shadow selves and recognize them as our greatest — though most challenging — teachers. Only then are you prepared to pass through the birth canal in the Dark of the Moon Card, and burst forth as a radiant light for the world, as The Sun.

In this session, you’ll:

Rebirth your inner child… unencumbered by family influences and outdated patterns
Experience a guided meditation to release your attachment to outcome
Discover your capacity for desire — without lust for a particular result
Recognize your addiction to power, pleasure, or other people as a shadow represented in the Devil Card — and a potent and tenacious force of the Capricorn archetype
Release self-judgement and comparison by recognizing your uniqueness through the Star Card
Find out how to offer your gifts to the New Age in the Aeon Card
Embody your beautiful synchronicity with all life in the Universe Card
Module 2 (Week 4): Meet the Characters (the Court Cards) — Aspects of Yourself & People in Your Life

Welcome to the Theater Realm, where you’re the director and 16 characters are vying for the lead role in your play. These characters, depicted in the Court Cards, are called Queens, Knights, Princes, and Princesses (names may vary in different decks), and help illuminate aspects of yourself and the people in your life.

In this module, you’ll discover how to navigate your archetypal journey by better understanding your personality traits with the help of the character cards. You’ll become aware of how your personality serves and, perhaps, limits your potential. You’ll also explore how everyone you meet is — on some level — a reflection of yourself, and how instead of reacting to the “reflections” that trigger you, you can instead ask, “What is the lesson here?”

In this session, you’ll:

Get to know your personality traits by discovering which Court Card represents you
Meet the elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth as various aspects of yourself
Deepen your self-understanding by exploring the astrological aspects of the cards
See yourself and others in these 16 characters… identifying both gifts and limitations
Module 3 (Weeks 5-6): Meet the Minors — Revealing the Emotions, Challenges & Gifts in Your Life

Over the next two sessions, you’ll explore how to connect to the 40 cards of the Minor Arcana through the lenses of mythology, symbology, astrology, and numerology to understand how each of the suits — Swords, Wands, Cups, and Disks (or Pentacles) — are also the elements of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth… and how they can be used to help you advance in your journey.

Viewing the Minor cards through these lenses opens you to guidance and archetypal energies for powerful manifestation… from taking an idea to fruition to carrying an initial emotion, such as attraction, into a loving, healthy relationship. These cards offer a broad range of specific directives to use at this point in your journey that can help you with any challenge or opportunity that arises.

Session 5: Understanding the Minors Through Numerology (December 12)
Numbers show us how creation is manifested through geometric progression. For example, first there a vision for building our dream home (one); next we must consider what architect might best reflect our idea (two); then, in partnership, we begin to synthesize a plan (three).

Using the Minor Cards, you’ll discover how you move through all ten stages of this geometric progression — from seed to fruition — to create your life every day.

In this session, you’ll:

Discover how to receive messages through numbers that represent specific words
See how the 10 numbered cards of the Minors relate directly to the Majors
Unblock your fear of math by understanding the significance of numbers
Understand the Kabbalah as a numerological system that integrates exquisitely with the Tarot
Session 6: Understanding the Minors Through Astrology (December 19)
Astrology has been used as a lens throughout time to carry cultural stories of human history. This week, we’ll explore how the numbered cards — Court Cards and their Zodiac signs — have astrological aspects and how they can help you in your relationships with others… and with yourself.

Knowing the Zodiac signs of the people in your life can help you avoid the pitfalls of reactivity. For example, a Gemini is a great thinker and communicator, but if you want something to get done you might need one of the earth signs like Taurus for the job. Or, if you want to explore a vision for the future, find an Aquarian to share your ideas with. Need a heart-to-heart? A water sign, like Pisces, will have that innate skill.

In this session, you’ll:

Enhance your relationships by understanding which Court Cards represent you and the people in your life
Learn some basics of astrology and how it relates to the cards
Deepen your self-understanding by connecting the Tarot cards to your astrological chart
Experience the Zodiac as a tool to better understand your gifts and challenges
Module 4 (Week 7): How to Do a Reading — The Tarot as a Self-Empowering Companion for Your Life

Now you’re ready to learn how to do a Tarot reading… In this last session, you’ll learn how to tell the story of others’ lives through the classic 10-card Celtic Cross Layout.

This layout starts by pulling a card that indicates your direction and focus right now. Then it reveals what’s going on in your conscious and unconscious mind. Next, you look at what you need to remember from your past. Then, you step into the realm of possibilities, where you’re headed, how that’s manifesting within you, in your environment, and through the people around you. And finally, you’ll face your hopes and fears… to arrive at a probable outcome depicted by card 10 in the reading.

In this session, you’ll:

Learn step-by-step how to do a 10-card reading
Learn how to frame your questions to get the most specific and clear answers from the cards
Discover how to interpret the various positions in your card reading
Weave astrology, numerology, and archetypal symbology into your reading
Build confidence in providing readings for your friends and family
Explore a 3-card reading to use as a spiritual check-in
Learn how the cards are your greatest ally in growing through any situation or relationship
