Courses

Under the signature Read Like the Devil we offer foundation level and advanced courses in practices of divination, divination techniques, divination philosophy and its cultural history.

Books and Clubs

While waiting to enroll in a new course, check out our books.

In addition to the full catalogue with EyeCorner Press, our partner, note that Aradia Academy also offers a few classics in cartomancy as ebooks directly here.

If you’re new to the Read Like the Devil method of cartomancy, you’re welcome to read this survey essay on which book to start with that Camelia Elias has written, or join the Read Like the Devil Practice Club that offers a live monthly encounter with the students.
