Esoteric Research and Occult Consultancy Services

Putting together a documentary, article or film involving Tarot, Alchemy, Witchcraft, Ritual or any other subject considered "esoteric" or "occult"? Want to know the real history of Kabbalah prior to Madonna? Or What Witches actually do? We can assist!

We provide validated research and advice on contemporary and historical aspects of all esoteric matters, particularly in the Western Esoteric tradition. If you want to use the right Tarot cards in your murder thriller, want the words to an ancient Sumerian curse for your web-site, or need to interview a media-friendly Witch or Magician for television, we are your single-stop shop!

Our consultancy and advice is founded on strong research and professionalism, based on twenty-five years insider experience, a Masters-level academic research background (to PhD shortly!) and an MBA-graduate business attitude!

If you require advice on articles, validation or review, please get in touch for our rates!

Marcus Katz

Marcus Katz, founder of the Far Away Centre, is a Researcher of Magick and Ritual with over twenty years experience.

In addition to extensive working of Kabbalah, Tarot, Ritual, Golden Dawn, Witchcraft, Chaos Magick and Alchemy he is one of the first students completing the MA in Western Esotericism at Exeter University. He intends to pursue his PhD in the Western Esoteric Tradition.

His articles have appeared in many publications over the last twenty years.

As an educator, he is an accredited NLP Trainer, trained by Paul McKenna and Richard Bandler over five years.

Marcus has spent the last ten years travelling globally, visiting Shinto shrines in Japan, studying Hieroglyphs in Egypt, and working professionally across Europe, Asia-Pacific and the USA (where he once spent a whole day trying to find an esoteric bookstore in Chicago only to find it closed that day! He did meet ex-president Bill Clinton later that same day, but that's another story!) He has an MBA (University of Central Lancashire) and has worked in IT from beach-front hotels in Thailand to Warehouses in Chorley, so has "seen the world" so to speak :-)

He has run an online Kabbalah course for many years (pre-Madonna) and private  Witchcraft weekends (pre-Buffy) as well as recently becoming a tutor for the Magicka school where he teaches his one-year Kabbalah Course.

He has met, worked with & corresponded with most of the legendary names of living occultism in the last two decades. One day he'll put all the letters on Ebay, make a million, and move to the Bahamas ...!
