If you have a curious and inquiring mind, a yearning to explore the Mysteries, Death, Art, and an overall desire to Become, I’ve found the schools, lectures, people, and classes below all share a wealth of knowledge, information, and experience that can enhance your journey as a human being. I strongly encourage you to make it as strange as you can.

“Ritual Trainings are technical ceremonial practices in the Western Mystery Tradition. Influenced by the ritual of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, they may be taught as the order originally practiced them, or updated to more modern or ancient, or accurate or evolved methods, or newly received rituals brought through to Naha from her guides to share as part of the 22 Teachings system of magic.”
Rituals:
Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram
Tattvas and the Radiant Holy Breath Ritual

coleman stevenson: author, tarot reader, artist, & creator of the dark exact tarot deck

After completing the “Process of Individuation” program, I searched for a tarot deck that would best align with my use of Active Imagination.
With its minimalist black and white color template, filled with symbols of plants, animals, and the alchemical process, The Dark Exact tarot deck has served as a close magical friend in my journey as a human being and tarot reader.
I encourage any person who seeks to Remember and Become to add this deck to your tool box of items for exploration. Visit the Dark Exact Etsy shop to purchase your own deck (and other incredible items!)
