The Cathar Code
Early in the 15th century, twenty-two sacred images were transposed from manuscripts onto a format inspired by playing cards. Their sacred mystery was discovered by Russell in 2007. This long lost Cathar theology, details the steps one must take in making the transition from human to divine consciousness. Join Russell as he unlocks these sacred mysteries, and how to apply them.
About the Program
Envision a life filled with inner peace, unconditional love, and abiding beauty, such that personal suffering becomes a non-event. The wisdom, that could have this be a reality, was 'hidden', by the medieval Cathar, known as the Good Christians, in twenty-two images that centuries later were entitled the Major Arcana of the Tarot. More significant than their modern use for divination, these images were originally a detailed map for what was required to end personal suffering.
​
In 2020, Russell Sturgess' book The Spiritual Roots of the Tarot: The Cathar Code Hidden in the Cards was released internationally. This year Russell is pleased to provide wisdom seekers with a 16 session immersive course, titled A Map for Transcendence, built upon the foundation of his book. In addition to exploring the ancient wisdom of the Cathar embedded in the Marseille Tarot, A Map for Transcendence takes participants on a journey through the nature of human suffering and illuminates the path that can lead each person to uncover their true nature and the healing that follows.

What People Say
" A delightful change from the usual Tarot books. The author presents a time tested spiritual path that is both needed and serious for the seeker of wisdom-truth. Very well written with important historical information. The symbolism of the Marseille Tarot is thoroughly analysed and put to use in most practical terms. I am a practitioner and student of various eastern and western esoteric traditions for 33 years having read thousands of books on those subjects and this among the best books so far."
