Tarot is an ancient practice, a path by which we begin understanding oneself, towards our inner sacred. The Tarot is an oracle, a means, by which, in some way, and through its drawings and colors, we stimulate our psychic sphere, the deepest part that goes beyond the rational. When we move the cards, a secret and powerful mechanism is put into operation, to open doors and means that connect us to the Universe. The Tarot is full of secrets, wonderful and powerful symbolisms that go beyond a great pictorial work. Magic, clairvoyance, or however you want to define it in you, will awaken little by little, as you practice and enter the intimate world of each card. Astrology is an exact, holistic science. In ancient times, in medieval times, you had to study many years to be an astrologer. Being the "mother science", you had to learn seven years of astrology in advance to be able to dedicate yourself to medicine, architecture, painting, or any other discipline. Astrology is the complement to any technique of personal growth, it offers you the opportunity to know what your vital mission is, to know what you have come to in this reincarnation and what your challenges are in this life, that is, to know your natal map. The natal chart allows you to know yourself much better to the point of understanding, for example, because you do not find your ideal partner, or because your partners last you so little time, or confirm that you made a good decision, or because you have such a conflictive relationship with a member of your family, or because you live a very strong crisis in your work etc. The natal chart explains why and why you give a situation and who you are, gives you information about how and when these issues will be resolved, marking the changes that your soul asks you to make.

In every age and in every country there are always those few individuals who seek more satisfying answers to the great questions of Life than they can find in their local churches and temples or through science. If their quest is sincere and they persist, they will eventually be drawn into contact with one of the world's Mystery Schools, where they may be instructed and trained. There have always been centers, called Mystery Schools, responding to the cry for understanding from aspirants throughout the ages. Today such close secrecy is no longer necessary. Much may now be given out openly which formerly could be imparted only in private and by word of mouth. The greatest secrets, however, can never be transmitted by written or spoken word. That secrecy which guards the deepest esoteric knowledge is not imposed by the custodians of Ageless Wisdom but by human ignorance. It is the kind of secrecy which shrouds the work of great scientists such as Bor, Curie, Einstein, Edison and others. This secrecy does not result from any deliberate withholding but rather from a mass ignorance and consequent inability to understand the concepts and reasoning required by advanced science. The custodians of Ageless Wisdom can no more disclose their knowledge to untrained men and women than great scientists can explain their theories of the universe to children who are still in kindergarten
