Creative Magic Collective 2026


Join us for a year-long “decan walk,” where we’ll travel through the zodiacal wheel in real time to explore the Tarot anew through its astrological foundations.

When Pamela Colman Smith illustrated the iconic Rider-Waite Tarot in the early 1900s, her visual interpretations emerged from ancient astrological associations. Her renderings of the Minor Arcana cards each correlate to a 10-degree section of the sky called a “decan,” which cover about 10 days of Earth’s orbit around the sun.

For ancient astrologers, each decan was flavored with the energy of different gods and goddesses, myths, and archetyps. It was this collection of archives — along with esoteric and spiritual systems like Kabbalah — that guided Colman Smith in animating the Tarot for a new generation of diviners, witches, and mystics.

Whether we’re aware of it or not, we are working with astrology every time we pick up our decks.

If you’re ready to expand and deepen your Tarot practice…
Grow your fluency in astrology…
And intimately understand your natal chart one piece at a time…

Join us for a transformative learning journey that will transform your relationship with divination, mysticism, and your Self.

Join the waitlist!

If you’ve been hungry for fresh energy and expansion in your mystical and spiritual life, but feel stuck wandering the esoteric wilderness… you’re not alone!

For Cteative Spirits trying to piece together a personal cosmology, the world in 2026 is your oyster! Our hyper-digital times provide access to an abundance of teachers and practitioners, and more people are conversant and curious about divination and astrology.

But wandering through this modern bazaar of teachers, gurus, programs, and crash-courses quickly becomes confusing — and lonely. We bounce around from one source to another. We ingest a ton of information but don’t receive much guidance when it comes to putting it in practice. As much as we feel we might be finding our way, we can’t help but feel adrift, like we’re walking three paths at once and don’t know how they connect.

The Creative Magic Collective’s Astrological Pilgrimage through the Tarot offers a guided, directed path that’s aligned with the movement of the stars, the turning of the Earth, and your lived experience day to day.

🕰️ We’ll take our time. No cramming centuries of information into six weeks. Instead, we’re feeling into the energy and archetypes one at a time, as they arise on the wheel of the year, looking for subtle and glaring connections between the Tarot, the planets and signs, and our real lives.

🕯️ We’ll explore associations and correspondences across disciplines, but along a directed path — that of the atrological wheel, using each sign and decan as a portal to explore its associated Tarot cards.

🫶🏻 We’ll to move individually, and collectively. We each get to chart our own path, and become more familiar with our personal natal charts. AND we’ll travel together, discovering how other Seekers experience the cards and energies of the signs and planets, deepening our learning through storytelling and real-life examples.


This pilgrimage is for you if…

  • You sense your intuitive perception widening, but don't have a solid framework for correlating and making sense of the synchronicities and messages that land in your lap.

  • You want to welcome more Tarot and astrology into your life, but worry that joining a community means subjecting yourself to soliloquies smothered in toxic positivity and abstract woo that never gets grounded in real life.

  • You’ve tried to learn esoteric concepts through self-study, you adorable auto-didact! But the density and complexity of both together feel overwhelming, and you wonder if you just don't have the "special abilities" required. (Trust me, you do!)

  • Your Tarot practice has plateaued, and you mostly think of the same key phrases for each card, wondering if you sound like a broken record. You’re ready to layer your practice with new systems of knowledge and refresh your divinatory rituals and readings.

  • You harbor a secret wish to run off to a sacred spiritual site, study with the masters, and lose yourself in ancient libraries. But — hello! — the real world says you’re too bogged down for such lofty sojourns. If you could experience a pilgrimage in the midst of your everyday life… that sounds like a dreamy alternative for now!

Join the waitlist!

Doors open January 26 for Early Bird Week… by email invite only!
The journey officially begins March 18!


Your first decan walk will change the way you experience Tarot, time, astrology & sychronicity…

Picture it… A year from now…

🤯 Suddenly, it dawns on you… The “personality trait” that used to always “get you in trouble” — with yourself and others — no longer mystifies you. It no longer automatically fires when the triggers appear… Because you’ve seen where it lives in your astrological chart, you know the Tarot combination that describes its essence. Seeing it in your stars spontaneously opened the door to self-compassion, and know you know how to wield this aspect of yourself more intentionally, often as a super power!

🔮 You sit down with your cards and instead of repeating the meanings you memorized from the guidebooks, you see so much more — how one Minor Arcana card in your spread is connected to your Venus placement, and how another is associated with the exact day you’re currently living through. Your deck now speaks to you with more subtlety, synchronicity, and solidity, revealing more depth and significance than ever before.

📖 You look back on the past twelve months and feel proud and grateful for the trail map you created for your journey through the Wheel of Fortune year. You fondly hold your journal — filled with Tarot pulls, journal entries, little sketches, insights, and poetry that supported your movement through another wild spin around the sun. This magical text you creatied is proof that you have new tools, skills, perspectives, and possibilities for cultivating magic and tending to yourself through time.

💌 You have three new friends you can text when your reading looks hella magic or super scary — and you know they’ll get it + reply with a poetnt sentence that makes you feel seen, held, and understood. You’re brimming with gratitude that you didn’t go it alone this year and chose to explore with a community of curious, creative, down-to-earth, hilarious, eccentric souls who are also trying to find magic and meaning in a world that feels harsher and harder by the day.

Meet Your Guides…

Tarot and astrology help me locate myself in time and in the currents of the cosmos. They help me locate myself within a story that gives life meaning and depth.
— Cecily Sailer
Divination is a dialogue. A way to see differently. Where we try to break away from harmful patterns. Process grief and loss together, and make sense of situations outside of our control.
— Sara Pettit

Why I created this pilgrimage (& why complexity doesn’t scare me anymore — mostly!)…

Hi, I’m Cecily! I created this Astrological Pilgrimage through the Tarot because I know exactly what it's like to feel mystified by magic. For years, I kept my Tarot deck hidden away, thinking I should have been raised by witches or studied astrophysics to understand the meaning woven through the cosmos.

When Tarot grabbed me by the hair and yanked me (happily!) into the realm of mysticism, I began studying on my own, picking up nuggets of information and history from assorted sources as I went, trying to stitch various ideas into a coherent tapestry. It was fun and fascinating, but also felt like feeling my way down a dark hallway with only a match to light the way.

Of course, the Seeker’s journey is never straightforward. And much of the joy lies in the mystery, as each new door we open becomes a portal to another archive of knowledge. But navigating today’s glut of Instagram witches, astrologers, and Tarot readers, it’s hard to know who to listen to or what to focus on at any given time.

I’m not declaring myself an expception to that chorus of modern-day mystics (it’s good we’re all here talking about magic!). I’m only saying: it’s overwhelming trying to find your path amidst the infinite possible trails… and going it alone will only get you so far.

Which is why, in this decan walk, we’re traveling together, uncovering new facets of meaning as into our modern experience as a community, by sharing our stories and discoveries.

I finally worked with a teacher of Tarot and astrology over the last couple years — Christopher Marmolejo, whose work brings an important, much-needed decolonial lens to both artforms. It was Christopher’s decan walk, TENZ, where I found a structured, cyclical framework that helped me venture into astrology in a way that felt highly accessible — Tarot! And I did it alongisde really cool people who I treasure today (one of whom you’ll be meeting and learning from in this decan walk!).

This jorney is rooted in my 9 years of experience practicing and teaching Tarot. It’s woven with my unfolding knowledge of astrology and my belief that attending to time differently — outside the linear Gregorian model we’re subjected to — is a powerful way to reclaim our magic from oppressive systems.

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by the giant halls of spiritual study that reach back thousands of years. So, I’m channeling my abundance of Capicorn / projector energy to guide us along a dedicated path, taking in information at a pace we can digest, and circling back at times (thanks to the wheel!) to help new insights root a little deeper.

My commitment is to keep the wisdom fresh: I continue to walk the decan path with my own teacher, and I've brought in a more studied astrologer — Sara Pettit — to ensure you get the technical depth you need, without extensive study.

Nothing brings me joy like seeing a fellow mystic trading confusion and self-judgment (for “not getting it”) with self-recognition and confidence in their own magic! By the end of our decan walk, you’ll realize you have all the capacity you need to find your place in the cosmic fabric.

💫 Now, meet Sara, our resident astrologer!

I met Sara in Christopher Marmolejo’s community, and deeply admire her decolonial stance, her sharp insight, her sense of humor, and her nuanced, grounded way of talking about astrology and Tarot. Sara has been studying astrology in depth with incredible teachers for several years, and I wanted to share her wisdom with this community!

Sara Petit is an astrologer and Tarot reader based in Oakland, on unceded ancestral land of the Ohlone people. Sara was a theater artist in the Bay Area for over a decade, working at the intersection of arts, health education, and social justice. Her love of meaning-making, archetypes, and storytelling led her to astrology and Tarot. She created Mystic Mirror to offer these systems of divination as a mirror for personal development and a map for change. Sara’s astrology and Tarot practice is rooted in the material conditions, collective care, and liberation of all people. Find Sara on Substack and Instagram.


Hear from folks who’ve been studying with me…

The Creative Magic Collective is an evolving community that began on Patreon during pandemic times and grew into a committed study group of everyday Mystics, Seekers, and Creative Spirits. Through it all, I’ve offered deeper exploration of and practices for using Tarot as a trusty guide in creativity and life. This is our first decan walk, and many of our Creative Magic Collective members are excited to continue learning in this community — with some new friends! — through 2026.

Here’s what members have to say about the Collective…

🔮 BETH: The Collective helped me adjust my Tarot practice to fit my life and my pace. It’s a really nice space to be part of, very open, not high-pressure, no one’s performing. It’s a nice change from other groups I’ve been in. I’m looking forward to traveling through things “in order” this year, and see where this takes me in my intuitive practices.

🔮 BIANCA: The Collective helped me connect Tarot with my creative side. Without the Collective, I might not have put those two together so quickly. It informed my writing — any time I sit down to write, I pull a card, and that never used to be a part of my practice. Being a part of this community is the biggest thing I’ve gotten in the past year. It feels nice to see the people, see the regulars. I know them, I know their art, it’s nice to feel like I’m a part of a Creative Coven. I feel like I’m connected.

🔮 AMI: The Collective feels comfortable and safe, like popping in on your neighbors and having “a cuppa.” Learning and from Cecily and the community enriches my own practices and well-being. I feel more empowered to step into my magic, experiment, and explore. In other spaces, I felt like I was wearing a costume, or wasn't actually making magic because of what I'd been told. My perspective has shifted in my favor because of this community. I'm looking forward to the decan walk, and I'm ready for my confidence and alchemy to grow, which I know this community helps foster.

🔮 ELENI: I want to continue in the Collective because I love the space Cecily’s created and everyone in the community who shows up. This is a space for me to have creative outlets to reflect and be in touch with my more spiritual, mystical side.

🔮 CARISSA: The Collective is a very supportive space where people at all levels, from all backgrounds, can learn together. As a more advanced Tarot reader, I learn a lot and have the opportunity to give and receive with others, with fresh perspective going both ways. I also met a friend in my neck of the woods who got me through a very challenging time. Making those kinds of connections is so valuable. I also love that the community is so intergenerationalthere’s so much wisdom across the spectrum of people.

The Collective helped me get to the point of accepting more of myself and find the creative meaning that works best for me.

Ready for the journey of a lifetime?

You’ve been feeling the hunger for a richer spiritual life… maybe for years.

You’ve tried to deepen your knowledge by wandering alone, picking up tidbits from podcasts and books, hoping the whole cosmic puzzle would assemble itself. But instead, you found yourself overwhelmed, isolated, and feeling like you were constantly behind.

You might think that waiting for more time, more money, or more confidence will make the next step clear. But the need for meaning, context, and a safe circle of reciprocity still lingers.

We’re now in a Wheel of Fortune year. So, we expect big change, accelerated (or collapsing!) timelines, and quantum leaps. The Wheel of Fortune is the image of the zodiacal wheel, the spiral of time…

Inside the Creative Magic Collective’s decan walk, we’re literally traveling the wheel together, drawing on the energies of Tarot and astrology to help us make sense of a choatic world where so many existing realities feel unstable.

This is your gathering space for mystical and creative fellowship, where we study together in a way that acknowledges the fact that you have a busy life and a brilliant, busy brain.

The Creative Magic Collective: Astrological Pilgrimage is here to give you the context, the community, and the slow structure you need to stop wandering in the dark and start experiencing your life as a rich record of transformation.

🌀 If landing here feels you’re standing at the threshold of a shimmery portal…
📚 If you're ready to trade esoteric complexity for deep meaning…
⛰️ And if you’re called to walk a path that has already transformed my practice (and so many others’)…

It's time. Doors to the Creative Magic Collective open January 26.

Pricing: $999 during Early Bird Week (or 9 payments of $116) / $1299 (or 9 payments of $150) after Feb 2.

Make sure you’re on the waitlist to receive invitations, best pricing, and magical bonuses!

Still have questions?

  • A: I know astrology and Tarot are complex. I’ve been intimidated by them too. And I learned gradually, from various sources. In this decan walk, I’m teaching in a way that acknowledges the difficult entry points. I know that every brain learns differently, so we’ll focus on basic concepts first, with optional portals for deeper exploration. This journey is also designed to move slowly and always connect to your real life, so that what you’re discovering becomes anchored in YOUR experience — the thing you know best. This Pilgrimage does not rely on rushing through dense texts or complicated math. Our core method is the decan walk, a structured, cyclical approach that uses the visual, story-based language of Tarot to unlock its corresponding astrological meanings. You’ll be learning through association and experience, not memorization. We give the wisdom plenty of time to sink in, so it feels like self-recognition, not ab intellectual burden.

  • A: Yes. This program is intentionally built for the busy, unfurling mystic. You get micro-dosed content — a rich, focused lesson every 10 days that comes as a written post in our Circle space. You can read it 7 to 10 minutes, then choose one or two of the recommended practices to work with over those ten days. If you have more time and energy, you can join us on Zoom twice a month — at the beginning and middle of each zodiac season for an introduction to new material, questions, storytelling, and comparing notes and experiences. (Recordings will be provided.) But you can still get A LOT out of the decan walk, just working with the posts and prompts alone. You have the freedom to modulate your involvement based on your capacity. Even engaging minimally will give you the foundational structure you need to transform your year and build a rich record of your evolution.

  • A: Only you can know that, of course. This community and the teachings inside it are curated thoughtfull and magically, with great care. This container will hold you now through March of 2027. I guess I would ask whether you’re ready to invest in greater development of your intuitive abilities and a stronger skillset around the “mystical sciences.” Possessing a strong core spiritual cosmology, and knowing how the Universe likes to speak to us — these are subtle but powerful tools for helping us navigate life, move way from what harms us and toward what serves us. These are skills you will use the rest of your life, and they will only deepen with time. The real cost might be staying stuck in a pattern of chaotic, unstructured, confusing learning. For your investment, you are getting more than just lessons; you are receiving a year-long, guided framework that provides clarity, community, and proven depth. This program replaces years of wasted time wandering, trying expensive one-off readings that rush by, and feeling perpetually behind. You are investing in a safe, compassionate structure that guarantees you will gain deep, practical AND magical insight into your own cosmic make-up.

  • A: Absolutely not. This program is the bridge between the two. We assume you have a basic understanding of the Tarot (this isn’t your first time picking up the deck) and a curiosity about your chart (sun / moon/ rising sign), but nothing more. The decan walk is designed to teach you the foundational connections from the ground up, using the Tarot as the accessible key. With the added benefit of Quarterly Astro Chart Check-Ins with Sara Pettit, you get expert application without needing the expert knowledge yourself.

  • A: Welcome to the Collective! That feeling of not being "witchy enough" or "smart enough" is exactly what we are here to dismantle. And what most of us arrived here holding. Everyone in this community started somewhere, and we know that wisdom comes in MANY forms. We believe that wisdom comes from shared, honest experience, not performance. You’ll probably discover a couple latent superpowers of your own as you share insights you’ve gathered just by being alive, walking your path, and turning toward the Mysteries from time to time. This is a grounded community built for intelligent seekers who embrace curiosity, skepticism, and nuance. This is a come as you are space — many members echo that back to me. We show up messy and confused. Or just blah some days. We see each other as is — there is ZERO competitive energy in this space. We get enough of that out in the real world. You are welcome here.

  • A: First, you don’t HAVE TO do anything! But if you decide to join, you can spend about 30 minutes per month enjoying the 3 posts you’ll receive about new decans / Minor Arcana cards. You can spend anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours working with the practices. And if you want to join our live gatherings or watch the replays, that could add another 3 hours. So… anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours per month. It’s up to you. The journey is structured to support you at your capacity.

  • Leading up to the start of the decan walk, you get access to workshops that will help us prepare. You can attend them live, depending on when you join, or access the replays and enjoy them at your convenience. They include:

    • Pulling Cards for the Year Ahead

    • Setting Intentions with the Wheel of Fortune

    • Astrology 101

    • Reading Your Natal Chart with Tarot

    • The Aces & Pages

    The decan walk begins with Aries season — the start of zodiacal year — on March 18, with two live sessions per sign, new posts ever 10 days, and ongoing access to the group chat!
