* HIGHLY POSITIVE FEEDBACK *

"The face to face day was everything I hoped it would be and so much more. I thank you also for sharing your huge knowledge of tarot and the way in which you can impart such a huge amount of knowledge in such a short a time. There was never a moment wasted and I commend you how you put so much into one day. I have come away with far more confidence to take tarot to the next level and you taught me so much that I have never come across or likely to, in books on tarot. You certainly have the ability to help your students slot it all together so to speak, in a format that cannot fail. I myself travelled a long way over 300 miles and it was so worth it, not only for the course but the beauty of the lake district was an added bonus. [C.C. Feb 2008]"

Further Information about our Tarot Courses

Whether you are a reader who is interested in taking your Tarot to a whole new level, or a beginner looking to learn Tarot quickly and comprehensively, this is the course for you! On our weekend, we look at the history and theory of Tarot, as well as lots of practical methods of reading the cards for your own self-development or for other people. If you are nervous about reading for other people, here is an opportunity to learn confidence-building methods and practice with a friendly group!

This course is constructed with rare materials from private occult libraries around the world, as well as my own experience of reading for thousands of people over thirty years. In addition, you'll benefit by being trained by a trained NLP Trainer, not just a Tarot Reader, so expect some surprisingly fast learning on this course! You'll also receive a full folder containing the course documents, presentations and diagrams, (all written uniquely for this course) and a CD with multimedia materials from the course!

The courses are exquistely structured, so even a throw-away line on the basic course may prove to be a seed of learning for the advanced course - exercises in the intermediate course are not only stand-alone, but prepare you for fast learning of advanced concepts later, and each course opens avenues for your own work.

Our training venue is hosted by the Keswick Museum and all courses include a truly wonderful lunch whilst you enjoy the incredible scenery!

The Magician'sTarot Weekend (April 2007) - Reviewed

Carrie Paris writes..

I have recently returned from what I have been calling my most treasured tarot gathering. At this point in my life I feel I can make this statement as over the past 17 years I have had the fortunate privilege to work with the best the tarot community has to offer; Rachel Pollack, Mary K. Greer, James Wanless, Angeles Arrien, Sandra Thomson, Lon Milo DuQuette, and many more. I am happy to add to the top of this list, Marcus Katz who has organized a truly informative and enlightening course called The Magical Tarot.

I was guided to this workshop by my own inner voice. Despite my full time schedule, it yelled, “Go!” I was apprehensive about attending, not to mention the ten-hour journey seemed a bit far. And to be honest, I felt I had enough tarot workshops and doubted I would find anything that I hadn’t already experienced. However the message to attend came loud and clear. I was happy I didn’t ignore it!

I was seeking a deeper conscious understanding of the tarot, my life work, and am pleased to report that I found a meaningful emotional, intellectual, and spiritual relationship with the cards through a variety of exercises thoughtfully crafted and presented by Marcus. These included, but are not limited to:

All of this (and so much more) was taught to a mixed class from beginners to advanced attendees—never an easy mix. Marcus, always the sensitive teacher and guide, was able to hold the attention of all, never giving anyone the sense of feeling lost, left out or confused. His teaching style was clear, grounded, enjoyable and energizing.

Ultimately, the opportunity to view what I hadn’t seen before through the offered lens of a new perspective deepened my resolve to present even more to those who seek assistance in connecting to their life-processes. Needless to say, I have returned deeply inspired and with innovative tools which have provided a new voice to my own daily practice to assist my clients in seeing the guidance they can find through the tarot’s divinational archetypes in the form of uncovering messages of empowerment, self-definition and transcendence.

The time I spent in the beauty of the Lake District added to this reflection and the Magical Tarot weekend combined with the exquisite environment has served me well. It is the strong belief of this reviewer that the benefits of this study are merely beginning to surface and will continue to guide my personal and client practice for many years.

Whether your approach to the cards is as a beginner, intermediate or advanced student, you will learn new techniques that work!
