Tarot Mystic, Author and Expert Tarot Reader
In our desire to align ourselves with the world's most authentic
Tarot wisdom, Visionary Networks was fortunate to know Christine
Payne-Towler from appearances on Paul O'Brien's Pathways
Radio program. Not only is she a gifted reader who adds deep psychology
and hard-won wisdom to her Tarot readings, Christine is a world-class
Tarot scholar with an encyclopedic knowledge of Tarot's origins
and evolution. She has been featured on many broadcasts and is the
author of The Underground Stream: Esoteric Tarot Unveiled,
a book on the history and deeper meanings of Tarot decks and cards.
Christine Payne-Towler has invested her life in the study of Tarot.
Starting in 1970 with the purchase of a used deck, her new-found
passion inspired her to collect Tarot decks that span centuries
and continents.
During the course of her studies, she has supported herself using
Tarot, Astrology, and Kabbalah in their traditional role as parts
of that larger program of Self-Initiation -- a sacred inheritance
from the Mystery Schools of the ancient world. Her realization that
Tarot is essentially the "flash cards of the western Mysteries"
has been the motivating force of all her work, including her contribution
of text for Tarot.com and the Tarot Magic CD-ROM.
Some years ago, Christine was invited to join a Templar lodge, which
allowed her even better access to the inner traditions associated
with the imagery and esoteric content of Tarot. She was inspired
to participate in the Secret Society movement of ancient times,
which is still alive and well, and continues to provide the framework
within which seekers can align themselves with the great work of
human evolution going on in all places at all times.
Most recently, Christine has realized a long-time dream, the creation of her school, Tarot University. Check it out for classes, chat rooms, articles and book/deck reviews.
At present, Christine continues in private practice in Oregon, and
can be reached for private sessions or tutoring at 1-800-981-3582.
Also for the purposes of scheduling sessions with her, Christine may also be reached by email at Christine@Tarot.com.
