The Golden Dome School is pleased to offer a “Tarot Initiates” certification program.
In the last 15 years of reading Tarot cards for herself and her community, Eliza Swann has developed a system of intuitive Tarot study based on combined practices of energy healing, hypnosis, alchemy, and ceremonial magic. During this course, you will learn the foundational lore and symbolism contained within the Tarot, the Golden Dome system of ethics for readers, how to offer readings and reflections, and how to work with the Tarot ceremonially.
To become a Golden Dome School “Tarot Initiate”, you must complete one four hour class, and one hundred hours of personal study, followed by a one on one check-in at the end of your hundred hours. This program is suitable for beginning and advanced practitioners alike who are searching for a systematic study of Tarot history, symbolism and practice.
The first Tarot Initiation class will take place in Los Angeles at Pieter Performance Space. You can sign up for this class HERE.
