  ONLINE TAROT CLASS            

   

Saturdays, May 12-June 16, 2012 10:30-11:30 AM (CDT)
With Paul Quinn

 

bkstck Through instructor dialogue, onscreen visuals, engaging and illustrative stories, live demonstrations, and question-and-answer sessions, Paul will lead you through the basics of the Tarot.

More than simply exploring card meanings, Paul creates a "soul classroom," by drawing parallels between the Tarot archetypes and practical wisdom teachings of the world's great mystical traditions.

  NEW ONLINE BOOK 


The Theosophy Forward Special Editions

Watch for the newest online book in the Theosophy Forward Special Editions series, entitled Olcott in Wheaton. The subject is  the headquarters of the Theosophical Society in America, which is known as "Olcott," located in Wheaton, Illinois. DNL Reader software permits the pages to be turned online. You can expect to see dozens of great photographs illustrating text about the campus and its history. Be sure to click on all the options to "view additional photos" and then "go back to text."
 
Creation of this book has been a truly 21st-century kind of project spanning three continents. Jan Kind of Brasilia is the editor, Anton Rozman of Slovenia created the Web design, Janet Kerschner wrote the text and gathered photos from the TSA Archives here in Wheaton, and TSA President Tim Boyd wrote the introduction. While you are online, be sure to check out the beautiful Theosophy Forward website. It offers a wealth of articles and information.
 
And plan to visit Olcott to see if we did it justice!
