By Star & Sea Tarot Pilgrimage
A 6 MONTH ONLINE TAROT Course
WITH JULIA INGLIS
2024 Class is full
Cost: $595
This Course is now full
In By Star and Sea, you will explore the Tarot mysteries in a 6 month pilgrimage. I created this course from over 35 years of Tarot practice and teaching, combining ancestral threads & Tarot spreads inspired by the mystery of the pilgrimage.
I love to use the Tarot to gather insights and messages daily and in ritual and focussed practice. I have created this course to be a bridge of assistance to anyone on their own Tarot exploration and it is perfect for complete beginners. My aim is to help you to begin a daily conversation with your Tarot cards, develop your intuition and gain confidence in your ability to interpret personal messages and symbols.
What You Need : a Tarot deck (Rider-Waite is best if you are beginning but you can use any deck), a journal to create your own book of Tarot, time to focus each day on ritual practice, and a love of sacred exploration!
My intention is to introduce you to the esoteric language of the Major and Minor Tarot Archetypes in a simple way, through the framework of sacred pilgrimage we will open up to intuitive messages and receive wise guidance from this elder oracle.
** REFUNDS CANNOT BE GIVEN ONCE THE COURSE HAS BEGUN AND CLASS PASSWORDS HAVE BEEN SENT OUT **
Course Outline
The course will be held in the private container of our class portal on my website for 6 months with 5 live classes in the first 3 months as well as videos, written prompts, tarot spreads and stories with detailed journeys into each Tarot card, archetypes and symbols.
There will be invitations to delve into tarot spreads and journeying meditations to open the gift of sight and intuition.
There will be 5 live classes with Julia in the first 3 months of the course and the remaining 3 months will be self-led to allow you to make your own Tarot pilgrimage through the material at a pace that is comfortable for you. After a period of 6 months the course portals will be closed.

I took the photo above on a walk at dusk while on pilgrimage on the Isle of Skye in Scotland looking across the sea to the Outer Hebridean Isles of Lewis and Harris. I remember feeling such a moment of wonder as I looked across at the islands I would be sailing to the next day.
Here is a video I recorded when I could feel the bones of the course forming.
Reading the Tarot with Julia
I was lucky to have been brought up in a family where intuition and psychic gifts were acknowledged from a young age and I got to witness many confirmations of these experiences with my sister, mother, aunts and cousins. I see this as a healing art that is part of my family lineage and I believe it led me to begin reading the Tarot in my early teens. For over 35 years I have read the Tarot for myself and others as a way of understanding the patterns and cycles of life and in later years to help understand and clear ancestral patterns of belief that can be carried in family bloodlines and ancestral memory in my work with Swan Blessing. I don't use the tarot as fortune telling device but as a way to access natural intuition, to receive wise guidance from my ancestors and to create healthy balance in my life.
What do you seek in your pilgrimage? Did your ancestors know the way? Don’t be surprised if it comes easily to you - what you seek is often searching for you too. This is the magic of sacred travel and inner reflection.
I love to work as a 'bridge' a kind of tarot interpreter to assist people to understand their own cards and learn to read the mythic language of the Tarot for themselves. I welcome you on this journey of magic and myth.
I look forward to meeting you in the mystery, Julia

She has a particular understanding of the psychological archetypes embedded in the Tarot, and uses this knowledge to make the mysteries of the Tarot accessible to everyone. FIONA, Psychologist
I had no idea what to expect as a beginner attending this course. What I found was a door that opened to the history, symbolism and magic of Tarot. Julia has an amazing knowledge and understanding of the Tarot and shares with you different interpretations as well as her personal experience. I love attending this class and get sad each week when it is over! These classes have had such a calming and enriching effect on my life in all aspects. RACHEL
I can’t recommend Julia’s 3 month Tarot course highly enough. I had attempted to learn to read the Tarot for many years but struggled with information overload and found learning from books very confusing. Julia really brings the cards to life and encourages an intuitive approach which was freeing and helped it to all make sense. I found I was able to read with Julia’s guidance right from the beginning. The course is well planned and thoroughly enjoyable. I learnt so much about myself during the 12 weeks and felt I had a strong enough understanding of the cards to start reading professionally after it was completed. Within a month of finishing the course I performed back to back readings confidently and with accuracy at a charity expo and I'm now looking forward to reading at every opportunity. I encourage anyone with a personal or professional interest in Tarot to go on this journey as it’s rewarding and comprehensive. As a teacher Julia is extremely warm, approachable and really knows her stuff! RHIANNON
Julia is a very creative and nurturing teacher, she encourages and helps to develop your intuitive and spiritual connection. I have enjoyed the course immensely and recommend it to those who are interested in experiencing Tarot for their own personal use or to become a professional reader. TANYA FLYNN
I recently completed Julia’s Tarot course and it’s been the most uplifting thing I’ve done in years. I've always been interested in the tarot but this class made it all real. Julia is a fantastic teacher and intuitive healer. The classes are fun with something new each week, I can’t wait to get there and when I leave I’m on cloud 9 - fascinated to learn more and more. I’m now confidently reading for family and friends, the more I practice the more intuitive and grounded I’m becoming. CHARLOTTE

I have loved doing The Path Within course with Julia....it has been fascinating. Julia is a great teacher and mentor...very warm, patient, kind, funny and nothing is too much trouble.

Attending Julia’s Tarot Course was a very positive experience. Having previous knowledge of Tarot, this course offered me a different perspective and allowed me the space to delve deeper into the Tarot experience. It has added richness and depth to my Tarot knowledge, so that I am a more well rounded and confident reader. Julia is a spirited and compassionate teacher who generously shares her wisdom with integrity and humour. Her teaching approach is very inclusive and "hands on" - the perfect way to get to know the mysteries of the Tarot! Jo, Journalist
‘Julia’s reading helped me become clear of my own inner knowing and of what actions to take. Through the cards, Julia guided me back to a point of certainty and trust in my own inner compass.’ Dr John Hare, Chiropractor and Mysteries Teacher, Tree of Life
I loved my reading with Julia not only did I get helpful advice and guidance. Julia gave me the tools to use to keep me on track. You rock Julia. EMILY
Julia has done several readings now for my family and myself, we have all wholeheartedly recommended Julia to others. I was blown away by the clarity, wisdom and practical advice given enabling me to make great life changing choices. I feel so lucky and blessed to have access to such a wonderful gift that Julia has, making my life a smoother journey. Thank You Julia. PETA, Healer
My session with Julia got to the core of my reason for being on this Earth! It also shone a light on my deepest woundings, that hold me back from being the person I am, from living my highest potential and Blessed life. It was the story of this life time, revealing the myths and the truths for what they really were. I loved the reading, it gave me so much clarity and freedom to live the blessed version of my life, not the afraid and lonely version.. Shining forth! Talulah, Midwife and Doula
'I had been in lockdown, scared to move either way for some unknown fear that was clawing in the pit of my stomach. I was feeling melancholy and having overwhelming thoughts, questioning everything I stood for and struggling with my life path. Julia's reading unlocked answers on a cosmic level. In her shadow reading with me I got to face this fear with Julia's assistance and found out that what I truly feared more than anything else was being myself and shining. I know right?! I feared owning my medicine, truly owning it.
It was time to come out of the cave and offer my medicine to all, rather than to a select few. I had been dulling myself down so as not to gain attention. Trying to contain my energy rather than share it. It was time to come out and that's why I was afraid. Julia touched on a past life issue of a fear of persecution, fear of judgement from others - it has led me to wanting to 'fit in', wanting to be liked and normal (oh the horror). My fear was of showing my power and being ridiculed for my light. Fear of being labelled a show off. Fear of being noticed.
I am a healer, nurse and death worker. I walk between worlds and I have for as long as I remember. I'm the one holding your blood and guts in my hands. I'm the one with you as you take your last breath. Julia's reading was like being given a mirror to hold up to my face and there was no escape. It showed me the past, my shadow and the deepest locked away feelings and memories that I held at my core. Knowing and facing these fears helped me to step through them to embrace all that I am.' Bec Walker, Nurse and Death Worker
"It is terribly lonely at times, navigating the paths within. There are sometimes moments when the moon is obscured by clouds and we are plunged into darkness while in unfamiliar territory. Without guides on the path, emerging with glowing lanterns of truth at precisely the right moment, how could any of us possibly find a way forward? Julia, you have emerged with your lantern at several such moments for me over the past year. The equinox balance reading you gave me a week before my 40th birthday helped me to find a sense of vibrant hope and possibility once more. I’ve been stuck for such a long time, with The Hermit holding me in a long initiation into deeper and deeper realms of myself as I tried to come to terms with the many challenges of my past. With the arrival of Spring and my birthday, I wanted to venture into the light once more, but I had forgotten how to. Your reading showed me how to emerge – what to focus on, and what to leave behind. The Liontail medicine doll you made for me has also been weaving her magic - I am once more risking being seen, bringing my gifts into the world. Julia, I feel like you are one of my heart sisters. Your strength and wisdom hold up mirrors into my experiences in ways that few others can. I feel part of the circle you have drawn, and I am so deeply grateful. Thank you, thank you." Nicole
‘Thank you Julia, for your compassion, generosity and your wisdom. I am still in the afterglow from my reading with you. It has had such long lasting positive effects on me and even if I begin to doubt myself, I remember the reading and I regain my faith in myself and the path that I am on. It has definitely put a spring in my step and made me feel really good about myself.’ Nicole
