TAROT CORRESPONDENCE COURSE

The ancient art of Tarot reading is said by some to have originated in Italy in the 14th century - but the cards' roots lie buried in the symbolism of early medieval mysticism and can be traced considerably farther back in time than that.  Analogies have been found with the Hebrew alphabet, Kabbalah, Torah and with Egyptian hieroglyphics.

As you can see by this, the Tarot has been around for some time.  The Tarot cards have been used as ordinary playing cards, as well as being the remarkable divinatory tool with which we identify today.

I have been a Tarot reader for about 25 years and their insights still fascinate and amaze me.  I have assisted many people from different walks of life over the years, and find that Tarot has much to offer all those who seek its guidance.  I should now like to share the knowledge I have gained with others - and that includes you.

The ten-month long correspondence course consists of ten modules, covering both the Major and Minor Arcanas, as well as providing training in the use of a range of spreads.

It also offers a practical understanding of archetypal energies and the way in which we live both on the physical and spiritual levels of consciousness.  It shows how this is communicated through the Tarot, as well as highlighting the ethical behaviour required of a professional Tarot reader.

The course is payable by instalments or in full.

If you know an approximate time, please let us know this (sometimes we have been told people were born "just before tea" or "half-an-hour after Dad came home from work" for instance). Every little helps! However, if your time of birth is totally unknown, it is still perfectly possible to provide a good reading.  In this case, however, the time of 12 noon is used which allows a great deal of information to be given, although somewhat less than with the accurate birth-time.

  The more precise your birth details, the more comprehensive your reading will be.

  THE BIG BEAR LODGE

  
  "The Big Bear Lodge " is Paul's part of the "Way Ahead" venture and reflects his strong connectedness to North American Indian spirituality, as well as his own great awareness of early man in Britain and elsewhere.

  Paul has been described as 'a great heart beating' and certainly the many people who seek his understanding and help, find that to be true. He is not only a practised healer, but has a wide range of life experience which enables him to deal objectively with patients' problems. He works with both people and animals in need of healing, and sends absent healing on request.

  His spiritual pathway has taught him many things. Following involvement in more than one orthodox religious setting, he spent two years working intensively with trance mediumship with the help of his Spirit Guides, focussing among other things on detailed past-life material. He moved on from this to study Shamanism, which now forms the basis for his healing and other work.

  He is very aware of the Earth and her creatures, and uses vibrationally-attuned animal essences to assist both himself and others in their spiritual development. He is also known for his craftwork and makes beautiful dreamcatchers/rattles or healing wands to order, with which he can provide personalised readings if required. The dreamcatchers are available in a range of sizes (single or double hoops) and they make wonderful gifts for special events (such as births, birthdays, weddings, new homes etc.) as well as personal, spiritual usage. In addition to selling the Animal Essences, he also sells crystals and Drumming for the shamanic journey CD's. Contact Paul via phone, post or email for more information. (Contact details are at the bottom of this page under Resources)

  Thoughts from "Big Bear Lodge"

  Shamanistic Healing

  Good health is a great gift. If any of us were given the chance of having three wishes fulfilled, good health would be high on the list for many of us. However, as we know all too well, from time to time our sense of being healthy and enjoying life to the full seems to have "gone walkabout". For some of us there may be chronic, ongoing illness to cope with, for others it may be a case of recovering from the lingering effects of a virus or infection, or even an accident of some sort, and some may spend years fighting a sense of lacking even the energy to face the demands of waking up in the morning.

  Years ago, there seemed to be quite a few people who took pride in saying that they had "never once been to the Doctor's" in the whole of their life. Nowadays, such people seem to be in short supply and all of us spend a considerable amount of thought and effort in trying to eat the right foods and do the right things to stay healthy. Health is appropriately a major concern in all areas of the world, and a major industry in civilised countries. society.

  At such a time as this, when the Health Service has vast demands made upon it, it is perhaps no surprise to find people in their thousands looking for guidance and help from alternative therapies both old and new, in addition to the medical expertise of allopathic medicine available from their local G.Ps and hospital services. Many of the alternative practices are themselves thousands of years old, tried and tested and not found wanting. They come from all over the planet, both East and West, and many work not only for human beings, but for the animal and vegetable kingdoms also. Life is One. We all need harmony and acceptance to reach our full potential, and such things are very much part of a healthy body and a healthy mind.

  Practitioners of many kinds abound in our society, therapists working with skills of many kinds from various forms of touch to alternative remedies such as homeopathy, counselling, colour, crystals and visualisation work. In every case, the energies of the patient are being adjusted to bring balance and harmony where, for one reason or another, they have been out of alignment.

  Energies can be adjusted....even where those energies are functioning as dense physical matter such as bones and tissue.

  Shamanistic healing works on all these levels.....body, mind and soul. It also has a particular part to play in "soul retrieval" work. That is to say that, when we experience trauma of various kinds, some of our soul energy becomes trapped and lost to us; we move on in our lives feeling as if part of us has died and we have less energy than before. When we successfully learn to "call our soul back home", we are capable of living dramatically differently with a joy and a passion that cannot but be noticed, and which can inspire others to live colourfully and in tune with life's full potential.

  The Shaman works at this level. He practises moving onto different energy frequencies and aligns his energy with that of different life-forms. Paul (Big Bear), for instance, has done a considerable amount of healing work with animals. He is a Registered Healer as well as a Shamanic Practitioner and, at one time, local children would frequently arrive at his bungalow, rushing in to bring injured and dying birds for his attention, knowing that many who looked as if they had already left this world, might be enabled to fly away again the next morning, having spent time in his care.

  The healer offers us access to energy with which to heal our self. He also offers us the benefits of his skill to enable us to see what we need and why we need it. Whatever we have done with our depleted energies, he enables us to understand what we have lost, where to find it and how to absorb it once again ..... and in the process to truly become what we were originally designed to be ..... whole .... beings of light, love and beauty. That truly is healing, and it benefits not only us individually, but the great and wonderful Cosmos of which we all are part.

  With the help of shamanistic healing, we can help all the kingdoms of Earth to live together in tune with the loving heartbeat of our Father-Mother-God.  Life has demanded much of Paul Big Bear, but it has taught him to understand himself and others very different from him, as well as enabling him to commune both with Nature and with Spirit. It has been the way of the Shaman for centuries and we need its wisdom now as much as ever.

  Paul (Big Bear)  Shamanic Practitioner (Cert' RL.,SPD), and registered Spiritual Healer L.A.H.  Sacred Pipe Carrier.
