What the course includes
Tarot, elements, the Tree of Sephiroth and divination practice.
Major Arcana of Tarot
Major Arcana is the first Tarot/Kabbalah step. The four settings move from entering the state of an Arcana, to its ‘angel’ or consciousness, to individual glyphs, and finally to applying an Arcana to a selected chakra — a progression from whole archetype to specific symbolic components and focused use.

Powers of the Elements
The Powers of the Elements step uses Fire, Earth, Water and Air as four different modes of work. In the source material Fire is linked with present energy and vision, Earth with structure and the material plane, Water with the past and tradition, and Air with the future, alternatives and event probabilities.
