Mission & Values

For over 50 years, we’ve been on a mission to transform metaphysical education from superstition-filled entertainment into rigorous, results-driven training that actually changes lives. In other words, we were Harry Potter long before there *was* a Harry Potter. We have been collectively searching for “magic that works” for decades; researching, experimenting, refining, and living real magic through good times and bad.

Our Mission

We exist to teach tarot and astrology the way they were meant to be learned: as practical tools for genuine insight, not parlor tricks or wishful thinking. Our mission is to train serious students in authentic metaphysical practices that deliver real results in the real world, while building a supportive community free from the drama, superstitions, and “magical unicorn” thinking that plagues so much of the New Age world.

Every student who graduates from our academy should be able to give readings that genuinely help people make better decisions, understand themselves more deeply, and navigate life with greater clarity and confidence. We’re not here to stroke egos or hand out participation trophies—we’re here to create masters of the metaphysical arts.

What We Stand For

Authentic Education Over Entertainment

We teach tarot and astrology as serious subjects worthy of rigorous study, not as mystical entertainment. Our methods are based on decades of professional experience, historical research, and proven techniques that work in real-world client situations. We don’t deal in fluffy formulas or made-up meanings that sound good but deliver no actual insight.

Results That Matter

Every technique we teach, every exercise we assign, and every concept we explore has one goal: helping you develop skills that produce tangible, helpful results for real people facing real problems. We measure success not by how “spiritual” you feel, but by how effectively you can help someone understand their situation and make better choices.

Community Without Drama

The metaphysical community has a reputation for ego battles, exclusivity, and toxic positivity. We’ve intentionally built something different: a place where honest feedback is valued over false encouragement, where intelligent questions are welcomed over blind acceptance, and where genuine growth matters more than feeling special. We believe in supporting each other’s development while maintaining high standards.

Practical Mysticism

True metaphysical wisdom doesn’t require you to believe in anything that contradicts basic logic or scientific principles. The most powerful insights come from developing your natural intuitive abilities through proven methods, not from adopting elaborate belief systems or magical thinking. We teach you to trust your own developing skills, not external authority or mystical formulas.

Accessible Excellence

World-class metaphysical education shouldn’t be reserved for those who can afford to invest tens of thousands of dollars in exclusive or lengthy courses (some spanning decades) or gain entry to the exclusive “inner circles” of metaphysical society. We’ve made our training affordable and accessible because we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to develop these life-changing skills, regardless of their financial situation or social connections.

What We Don’t Do

We don’t promote superstitions, encourage dependence on readers, or teach methods that fall apart under scrutiny. We don’t promise that studying with us will make you “special” or give you supernatural powers. We don’t tolerate harassment, bullying, or the kind of competitive drama that destroys learning environments.

Most importantly, we don’t graduate students who aren’t ready. Our certification means something because we maintain rigorous standards and honest assessment. We’d rather help you develop real skills over time than hand you a meaningless diploma you didn’t earn.

Our Commitment to You

When you join Academy of Divination, you’re not just signing up for courses—you’re joining a movement to restore integrity and effectiveness to metaphysical education. We commit to providing you with:

Honest instruction based on what actually works, not what’s popular or profitable. A supportive community where your growth matters more than your ego. Practical skills that will serve you and others for decades to come. Ongoing mentorship from practitioners who’ve spent their careers mastering these arts.

We believe that metaphysical wisdom, properly taught and diligently practiced, has the power to transform lives in profound and lasting ways. Not through magic or wishful thinking, but through the development of genuine insight, intuitive clarity, and the ability to help others navigate life’s complexities with greater understanding.

This is why we exist. This is what drives everything we do. And this is the standard we hold ourselves to every single day.
