Before the advent of the internet, I had to nervously browse the oft maligned "Occult" section of a second hand book store, or write away to an exotic advertisement in the back of a magazine to learn how to read oracles. When that wasn't enough to satisfy my curiousity, I would consult with the old Ladies that practiced behind neon palmistry signs, (they would refer to it as "pester" though) in order to acquire the skill of telling fortunes.

This is how I first began my studies, but now that the information is readily available, it is still my opinion that we should gather knowledge from as many sources as possible. In this way we can discover techniques that most appeal to us and use those as the foundation for devising interpretations and methods suited to our own personal tastes, creativity and experiences.

This said, I still think everyone should be given the chance to acquire knowledge from a personal mentor, and I am always happy to engage in conversations and consult with those that come to me with questions.  It is with this in mind that I provide instructions and offer a beginners guide to my  personal methodology, which is based upon my studies and experiences.  It is also a bit of an homage to all those wonderful people that shared with me their knowledge as well, and to pass it along to those that might find it useful.

Other than "keyword" and brief interpretations, I won't bore you with a glossary of the often convoluted meanings. Nor will I describe the mythology or history behind each method here.
