Tarot, the development of consciousness, and the Egyptian mystery schools

I wrote this article years ago. Because this month (January 2026) both of my Dutch tarot courses are on sale*, I wanted to share this again. It gives insight into the path of human consciousness (the Major Arcana, or the great mysteries), the hero’s journey, and the comparison with the Egyptian mystery schools.
*)About the offer: My two (DUTCH) online tarot courses, the Major Arcana (22 cards) and the Minor Arcana (56 cards), together for €150. Each course consists of 8 extensive lessons (information, mythology, intuition exercises/meditations, and interpretations in images and videos) – more than 30 hours of material in total. After payment, you get immediate access for one full year.
This offer is not listed in the webshop; for this, please email me at info@petrastam.nl I will then send you the information so you can quickly and easily enroll.
