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\u2019s journey, and the comparison with the Egyptian mystery schools.<br \/>\n*)About the offer: My two (DUTCH) online tarot courses, the Major Arcana (22 cards) and the Minor Arcana (56 cards), together for \u20ac150. Each course consists of 8 extensive lessons (information, mythology, intuition exercises\/meditations, and interpretations in images and videos) &#8211; more than 30 hours of material in total. After payment, you get immediate access for one full year.<br \/>\nThis offer is not listed in the webshop; for this, please email me at <a href=\"mailto:info@petrastam.nl\">info@petrastam.nl<\/a> I will then send you the information so you can quickly and easily enroll.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Click on the photo to read the article.<a href=\"https:\/\/petrastam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Tarot-the-development-of-consciousness-and-the-Egyptian-mystery-schools.pdf\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-26459 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/petrastam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Book-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"213\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/petrastam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Tarot-the-development-of-consciousness-and-the-Egyptian-mystery-schools.pdf\">Tarot, the development of consciousness, and the Egyptian mystery schools<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:4%;--awb-padding-right:8%;--awb-padding-bottom:4%;--awb-padding-left:8%;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-top:0px;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;width:13.3333%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26460,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[140],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tarot"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
