Special Guest Lecturer and noted author

 

BRIAN COTNOIR

 

Author of The Weiser Concise Guide to Alchemy

 

Will be presenting a lecture on

alchemy and the Ascent of the Soul

 

 

OPEN EVENT

4:00-6:00 PM

 

 

 

The quest for gold is

as old as recorded history. In the popular imagination, alchemists have

toiled in their laboratories throughout history to turn lead into gold.

 

But unbeknownst to

most, the 'gold' that true alchemists seek is not simply a metal that can be

used to buy bread in the marketplace. The currency that they seek is as

much spiritual as it is physical, and the essential ingredient comes from the

seeker's own soul.

 

Please join noted author and practicing alchemist Brian Cotnoir, as he surveys

the techniques and methods used by alchemists throughout history in their

search for enlightenment and spiritual transformation.

Since beginning the study of Tarot at the age of

15, Courtney Weber has gained a bi-coastal clientele and is a highly

popular Tarot consultant at corporate, community and underground arts events in

the Northeast Region. She has lectured on the Tarot at the Harvest Home

Gathering, Pagan Odyssey, Laurelin Community Center and at the NYC Pagan Pride

Day. In the fall of 2009, she was a featured Tarot reader in Time

Out New York. She has been a featured astrologer on Oomph.net and

Bakespace.com. Courtney's writings on Witchcraft and Paganism have been

published on Witchvox.com, and her fiction and erotica has appeared in

Failbetter.com, Bank Street Magazine and Barebackmagazine.com.

For two years,

Courtney wrote (under the pen-name of Sister Mary Manhattan) the

weekly cult-favorite astrologyexplained.blogspot.com and continues to maintain

readership on agirlcalledwoo.blogspot.com,

a chronicle about being a Tarot reader and practitioner of Witchcraft. She is

the creator of Tarot of the Boroughs, a contemporary Tarot deck set in

New York City. Courtney lives in Manhattan.

 

 

"Courtney has an incredible talent when it comes to

reading Tarot.

Her insight and ability to interpret the cards

shows years of wisdom

and experience. I'd let her read for me any

day!"

—Liz Guerra, author of Stewart Farrar: Writer on a Broomstick

 

"Courtney's razor keen insight and graceful honesty

transform her readings

into a real soothsaying experience. She is an intuitive

force of nature.

Not for the `novelty' query...Courtney swims in the deep

end."

—Velocity Chyaldd, burlesque performer and lead singer of band Vulgaras

 

"Courtney gives you the basics so you can make sense of the cards, drawing

out your intuition to fill in the rest of the cards'

meaning with your own personal experience. In this way, one is able to walk

away with both the logic and intuition

needed to read cards, along with practice, practice, and

more practice!"

—Alison Levy, Tarot student
