While Tarot cards are most popularly used for fortune telling ('divination') this represents only the smallest fraction of the knowledge embedded in these magickal tools. The images of the Tarot are a set of 'keys' or pathways involving specific energies. Those energies correspond to gateways which can be drawn upon for a variety of useful purposes. “Even when I have the most open of minds, you have managed to open it even more, I never learn what I expect to learn when I attend one of your courses. What I actually learn is so much more, my imagination and horizons are expanded more than I could ever anticipate (the Servitor is just fabulous). I can feel the curiosity inside to find out even more about the tarot rising, and I have already begun to get to know my cards in different way than I did. It was just so interesting.” Angie Lloyd-Martin |

“A fascinating, insightful weekend, which has opened up my mind to the possibility of the wonder and practicality of using tarot magick not only in my personal world, but also the possibility of working with it in my business.”
Miriam Angel
"This course was a profound experiencing of the Tarot as it wasn't just about 'this card means that' but about tuning in and experiencing the energies of the cards. And one of the most amazing things about it was that we really did experience energy from them and it was something that I tangibly felt. Phil's teaching style is very relaxed and the course was fun and powerful. Phil's knowledge and experience of the Tarot was evident and he taught us techniques that we could take away with us to practice and deepen our understanding. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to really get to know the Tarot."

I ‘dabbled’ with the tarot in my teens but never really took to working with it, perhaps because I thought of it only as a tool for fortune telling and other tools suited me better. More recently I gathered some beautiful packs for their imagery and used them as gateways for journeying, but I never formally ‘learned’ the meanings. Phil Callaghan’s ‘Tarot Magick’ weekend offered to teach much more than fortune telling, so I was interested to see what the weekend would bring.
Phil spent the first day giving us frameworks for easily accessing and interpreting every card’s symbolism. After one day I could now work intuitively from this framework, as everything makes sense and is easy to remember. Just a bit of practice and I could give good tarot readings, if I wished. And Phil has a way of using tarot for divination that makes SO much more sense to me than traditional readings. (SEE HERE FOR my BLOG post about TAROT READINGS)
I found Day 1 fascinating, absorbing and satisfying, then Day 2 opened up many new ways of working with the tarot, that I loved for their creativity and practicality. He first explained the underlying structure to all magick, in a way that makes simple good sense. He then explained how tarot symbols and images key into stable archetypal energies and can therefore be used to access these energies in a reliable way. This is safer, quicker, easier and stronger than other methods and I love it! - So much so that I have been working regularly with the tarot ever since.
Since much of this information was new, and not, as far as we know taught or written about elsewhere, I am deliberately omitting details of the specific exercises and techniques we learned.
They do have parallels in some of the methods and techniques I teach in advanced crystal healing trainings and that are taught in systems of magickal training. However, in both cases the training path would be much longer – working with the tarot in this specific way is a bit like Reiki versus other energy healing systems – quicker to learn, reliable and safer.
Phil has a wonderful way of opening up possibilities and unfolding teachings so that all the fascinating pieces are clear, logical and link together elegantly in a satisfying whole.
If you want to know more about tarot, magick or working with archetypal energies, I recommend this training.
