It was an unforgettable experience connecting with such an inspiring group of people at different levels of psychic and magickal experience. Even though we spent a whole week together, it went by way too fast. On the first morning, I was wandering around the Omega campus with the brochure map in hand, trying to figure out where my classroom was. As I turned a corner, ...

Only A Fool Not On A Journey Would Limit Tarot

What the Fool’s Journey Teaches Us About Integrative Approaches.

Which is more important: the High Priestess or the Magician? How about The Empress or the Emperor? This question reflects how some approach Tarot, choosing between energies or methods. But the Tarot itself teaches us it’s not about favoring one over the other. The Fool’s journey is about integration, where all aspects—masculine and feminine, right-brained, and left-brained, logical and intuitive, structured and spontaneous, practi...
