Talk Gnosis

The medieval Cathars were persecuted and thought destroyed by the forces of church and state… but did their esoteric knowledge survive in a hidden form? Russel Sturges, author of “The Spiritual Roots of the Tarot: The Cathar Code Hidden in the Cards,” has discovered a secret code in the Tarot with the cards laying out the Cathar path to enlightenment and divine wholeness. Join Deacon Jon and Jason as they go on this journey through the Tarot with Russel.
