The Magician’s Table
the magic is you
There is a table for you to feast.
It’s a space for you to listen for the throb of your unique channel, and dance to the thrum of frequencies from your colleagues.
It’s a zone where it’s okay to be messy, to be unsure, to be unmasked, because it’s what is required to get us closer to our gifts.
This is not an outcome space. There are no promises. Expectations are unwelcome.
What you receive will be just for you. A medicine just right for the moment you’re in. No two individuals will drink from the same cup.
This table is a heart space. It’s about falling in love. With yourself. With your modality. With possibility. With the unstoppable spirit that runs through each of us so magnificently when we leap from the heart.
It’s called The Magician’s Table.
The Magician’s Table is a 3-month container for personal growth, community connection, and practice growing one’s tools as an intuitive and magical practitioner.
The Magician’s Table is a medicine space to bring you what you’re sincerely ready for in your path of emergence. No two participants have the same outcomes or process because the container gives each individual what’s most in affinity for them to see.
you are magic
To “become” an astrologer, tarot reader, energy healer, or any kind of an intuitive guide is a deeply transformative rite of passage. It is a process of emergence that is wildly sacred.
This Table is for anyone who is in the process of preparing themselves to name and claim what’s next as they align with the song of their calling.
Naming yourself a person who offers magic to the world is a bold and brave leap of the heart. It means facing the fear that your gifts are too much or not enough. Facing the judgment of those who invalidate the intuitive arts. Facing the inner critic who says “you’re not ready” for this next phase.
“Who am I to have this wild dream?” is what you might hear in moments when it feels impossible.
To be a practitioner in a metaphysical field of service means navigating your world outside of all institutional structures of protection. There is no corporate ladder here. It’s learning how to be a small business owner, a creative artist, and a healer all at the same time.
“How do I get from the vision in my mind – which I barely have the nerve to admit out loud! – to a place where I trust in my capacity to show up for those visions?”
In 2024, we will begin with an opening weekend March 23-24, and then we meet most Wednesdays through June 19.
Across My Own Emergence
I’ve had to develop a lot of tools, skills, and personality traits that I didn’t believe I could access before this phase of my life began. Most especially, I’ve had to:
- name and know myself in new ways to expand what’s possible for me
- learn loads of decidedly not-mystical skills like website building, scheduling organization, accounting setup, graphic design, and promotional copywriting (very different from my academic background)
- cultivate deep relationships with the planets and cards as archetypal beings I serve and that speak through me as a clear channel
- confront my limiting beliefs, biases, shadow material, resistances, and fear of external judgment so that I could expand my capacity for visibility, acclaim, joy, love, and wealth
- regularly witness and integrate my “scared little girl” inside, healing my addictions and stagnation patterns in order to be able to show up and tend to my dream
- build ritual practices to support myself and my clients in order to hold compassionate space
- and most of all: believe in my own magic
Each year from late March through June, I host three cohorts of 12 individuals who are in the process of unfolding their psycho-spiritual identity and learning the personal and professional tools (skills and practices) to support their calling.
All emergence is liminal. Transitions can feel daunting and lonely. I wish I had a journey like this one with mentorship guidance and community witnessing for more support in my early day.
“The Magician’s Table is a momentum. An experience. An invitation to allow oneself to meet and step into the highest expression of their skills. It’s a collision. A movement. A trajectory. A coven. A community of kindred spirits. A metamorphosis.” – Megan Frye, 2x participant
Your Yes is a commitment to stop pretending that your voice doesn’t matter. As you turn to this container with your entire body, you will be utterly changed by it.
In this initiation journey, you will have the opportunity to:
- cultivate a coven of new friends and colleagues to practice reading skills, share process-based questions, and celebrate one another’s growth (this may serve as a playground for you to tune into how you want to build your own communities)
- obtain tools and skills for nurturing your personal self-care practices
- access tools and skills for showing up to the practical aspects of the work, including your business sustainability and growth
- develop a firmer sense for your core magical offering in this lifetime and how to differentiate yourself in your field
- receive guidance in naming yourself as an intuitive guide, seer, and mystic
- expand the limits of what might be possible for you in your work
- grow foundations for your boundaries, ethics, direct voice, and values so you can magnetize clients you admire and respect
Each Magician’s Table cohort has up to 12 participants. Twelve is a powerful number: 12 signs, 12 months, 12 hours in a day.
From the beginning I had a vision of a “13th Reader” – someone who was emerging as a wise voice in their intuitive field with the capacity to grow exponentially in their leadership with such an opportunity. The 13th Reader is an anchoring support for the group, compassionate and truly dedicated to everyone’s growth. The 13th Reader is someone who supports me in showing up for what The Magician’s Table wants to be, beyond myself as the creator-discoverer of this framework.
In its inception, the position of 13th Reader has become one of exquisite esteem.
The 13th Readers for 2024 are the wondrously mystical and wise Nicole France-Coe, Erin Kelley, and Samar Jade.
WELCOMING SAMAR JADE (they/them):
I am a holder of the shadows. I hunger to see you living out the fullness of your unique power. I am also someone who has learned through their experience what it feels like to lose connection with themselves, their spirit, their power, and their magic. It is through my experience teaching others, gathering in community, growing in the shadows, and failing that I name myself an ensoulment doula and fulfill the desire to support others on their path of joining Soul and Self.
When I took my seat at the Magician’s table I had no idea as a new reader what I was up for. All I knew is that I heard the whisper and needed to answer the call. What happened in the following weeks continues to reverberate in my life at this present moment. It was the first time I was seen and held without an ask of anything else than who I was.
I call forward to the Magician’s Table those who are also hungry, starved even to witness the fullness of all that they are. I awaken the fire inside that you thought had been quieted by the whispers to make yourself smaller. I invoke the names of those magicians looking for a space to play without the fear of evaluation or expectation of outcome. I motion to the dreamers, the wayward, the misunderstood that this is a place where you may speak and be held.
Samar is hosting the 9 AM CST (10 AM EST) Wednesday cohort.
WELCOMING ERIN KELLEY (she/her):
I am a writer, ceremonial astrologer, and mystic with a feral heart. My intuitive gift of right timing is the essence behind my work, affectionately called Slow Magick. I believe desire is holy, change happens when it is time, and eros is the driving impulse connecting this moment to the next. With an 8th house stellium, I help others find and effectively utilize their resources; I especially love using astrology and ritual to assist cycle breakers in building new beliefs, experiencing more satisfaction, and creating space to thrive.
Before leaping into my second act, I spent more than a decade creating award-winning go-to-market strategies for some of the world’s biggest names. Now, I use my intuitive and results-oriented analytical skills to develop practical and effective recommendations for working with the subtle realm in everyday life.
When not ensconced in enthusiastic communion with the more-than-human world, you can find me on the internet at slowmagick.com and on Instagram @slow.magick, and follow my writing at The Nature of Invisible Things on Substack.
As a two-time alumna, I can’t wait to share my enthusiasm for The Magician’s Table curriculum and experience with the 2024 cohort. My dream for this year’s participants is to develop an unwavering trust in themselves and their unique magick, igniting a wildfire of enchanted momentum into their creative lives that ripples across time and space, weaving a web of transformational change bridging this world and the next.
Erin is hosting the 1 PM CST (2 PM EST) Wednesday cohort.
WELCOMING NICOLE FRANCE-COE (she/they):
My name is Nicole and I am a devotee to Great Mystery in all Its beauty, pleasure, liminality and dismantling power. I am more at home in the Cracks than the binary and the static. Having been woven together as a queer mixed race mycelial thinker has provided me the blood, bone, root and celestial blueprint for learning how to dance with and at the Cross Roads; a location of fecund possibility, peculiar synergies and emergent orientation.
I delight in embodying the archetypal energy of Trickster and color with this energy in my everyday life as a mother, partner, mystic, artist and dreamer.
I am both soccer mom and seer and I love being both.
Much like my collage work my medicine is braided, animistic, liberatory, multi dimensional and surprising; always bridging the divide. I am currently learning and in intimate relationship with my Creole and Nigerian ancestors. The medicine they are awakening within me is of blood and stars and is leading me to offer ancestral healing sessions, Dream Work quilts, and rites of passage ritual work. This year is also the year where I am deepening in with my relationship to the floral realm, quilt work, and fermentation.
As a 13th reader I am interested in co-creating a space of liberatory possibility. A collective field where we can explore what is desiring to be expressed at this juncture in time. As someone who dances with Great Mystery, I am well acquainted with the fear that can arise at these thresholds where we are being invited to shed and to bloom. This is sacred territory. I am curious about how calling in mirth, merriment and laughter can allow for us to play, and in so doing, wake up the dormant parts of our generative creative centers so that we can experiment and explore.
Nicole is hosting the 5 PM CST (6 PM EST) Wednesday cohort.
“The Magician’s Table landed in my awareness at the perfect time, whispering, “go.” I had no idea what to expect, and doubted my capabilities as a reader, but the intimidation of reading for other readers felt like the right challenge for me. The nurturing and support I received in this container was extraordinary, TMT gave me tools, guidance, and encouragement to believe in myself and accept this path. Beyond my own becoming, experiencing the gifts of so many other readers was the greatest blessing. I feel certain in my own practice, capable of sharing it with others, and so grateful for lifelong connections to other mystics and dreamers.” ~ Julie Kelton Yost of highlowtarot.com
“The Magician’s Table is impossible to describe simply… the way it makes you FEEL, what you uncover about yourself, your talents, and your worth, how much you humanity you witness in other people. There really is nothing like it. And you do it week after week! TMT is a gut-wrenching, soul baring experience disguised as a playful practice arena, and I mean that in the best way possible. The community that it magnetizes is also invaluable. It is a safe place to practice and play, but so much more.” ~ Alex Lai of @intuitnursing
“TMT is a portal to deeper self-knowing and self-belonging. It is a portal to a space within where everything that is ready to unravel will unravel. And that’s a good thing. It is in the unravelling that the magic happens. Old threads start to connect in new ways. Before you know it, you have this beautiful handwoven cloak that you can’t wait to wear out in the world.” ~ Silvia Poldaru
TMT 2024 kicks off with an online Initiatory Weekend March 23-24, and then the Circle meets on most Wednesdays from March 27 – June 19. Keep scrolling for more info.

“The Magician’s Table is much more than just a course. It’s a journey, and a rite of passage for those wanting not only to develop their skills in readership, but to deepen the connection between their personal practice and their presence in connection and community.
I have undoubtedly grown by leaps and bounds throughout the duration of TMT. I am leaving as a different person than the one who first entered this course. The practices Britten shares, the discoveries I have made about myself, and the richness of the interpersonal interactions I have experienced through this time have opened me into new horizons of being and relating that I know may only expand from here.
I cannot recommend TMT highly enough if you feel you are on the threshold of transformation and are ready to see new possibilities for yourself in your path as a reader and magic-maker!”
– Art Heals Earth creator Megan Reich, Minnesota
The Workshop Circle
Learning Components & Rhythmic Structure
The Workshop Circle has several key components that bring structure and rhythm to the flow of our work together.
CIRCLE FELLOWSHIP
There a FOUR types of Fellowship gatherings.
THE WEDNESDAY GATHERINGS
The spine of your experience in TMT is the rhythm of Wednesday meetups, each 90 minutes. These are tightly structured spaces that follow the same flow each week. The structure itself facilitates the magic, as you’ll see.
The 13th Readers lead the Wednesday gathering. The 13th Reader’s role in these is to ground, hold, and close the space for the group by facilitating that flow, focus, and order. Options for Wednesdays this year: 9 AM CST with Samar Jade, 1 PM CST with Erin Kelley, or 5 PM CST with Nicole France-Coe. You will have the option to choose preferences in the application.
The weekly meetup is when you practice what we call your VOCALIZATION.
The “vocalization” is a Magician’s Table magical word for speaking from your truth place, a space of wild aliveness deep inside you. Vocalizing is not regular speech, like how singing is different from talking, like how poetry is distinct from prose. It’s a heightened version of your voice, heightened because it’s so true.
Your weekly vocalization is sacred because it brings you closer to the deep basin of your authentic presence, which is where your magic lives.
Out of respect for one another, each person will self-regulate how long they “hold the mic” by setting a timer.
The Fellowship space is committed to holding room for disagreement and divergence. This is not a cancel space. This is a repair space. And as such, we will trust in the generosity and abundance of repair processes if conflict emerges.
The live meetup is an electrifying growth space because everyone’s voice is centered and everyone gets to be witnessed and celebrated. Each week exists as a space for laughing, crying, shedding, and expanding.
These live meetings are required to participate in the Circle in order to protect its integrity. If you have to miss 1-2 that is fine, but this is not a class where you can just catch the replays. Note that there are 2 weeks that we will not meet in order to create some built-in spaciousness and give us all a chance to integrate. Britten will lead the Wednesday meetup if ever the 13th Reader is unable to.
DROP-IN OFFICE HOURS WITH BRITTEN
Every Tuesday during our time, Britten will be holding an open zoom hang for discussing curriculum, Q&A, sharing what’s up, and generally just enjoying one another’s company. Come as desired. The time of day will rotate week to week.
SPEECH OF THE GRAIL BOOK CLUB
Once a month you will have the option to hang out with Britten to talk about the book that has most influenced her work as a space holder and mystic: The Speech of the Grail: A Journey Toward Speaking that Heals & Transforms. This will be an all-2024 gathering with folks from different cohorts dropping in together.
BONUS MEETUPS
Throughout our time together, we will also have planned and unplanned bonus meetups for added connecting, support, and fun. These are totally optional and there’s never pressure to attend. Sometimes these will be cohort-only. Sometimes these will be with alums from other years. These will likely arise emergently with the vibe.
GUIDED LESSONS
Each week after our meetup, Britten will send out an audio invitation and handout with topics to explore, questions to ask yourself, writing prompts to create, and/or a ritual exercise to try. The topics and themes cover the range of experiences you will encounter in your journey of emergence as a reader. (See below for the working curriculum.)
The curriculum is extremely rich, deeply expansive, and radically catalyzing. They are so potent in fact that most magicians do not get anywhere near finishing during our time together. One exercise might want weeks of your devotion. Your pace is sacred. This can be uncomfortable for those of us conditioned not to “fall behind.” This unlearning is meaningful! This unlearning is part of your curriculum!
Everyone will be at different points along the passage of emergence, and there will be no expectation for people to “catch up” or compete with one another. The goal is to progress along from where you start, not to meet a common destination.
WORKSHOP PARTNERING
One of the most challenging parts of being an Emerging Reader is often finding community among like-minded people who share your commitment and spiritual curiosity. That’s why TMT has built-in community within this container. Students will meet in pairs outside of class to discuss weekly topics, to grow relationships, to practice reading for each other, and to witness each other in evolution.
This is hands-down the most meaningful part of this experience.
These 12 weekly readings give you the experience to figure out what works for you, find your flow, and tinker with your style. Moreover, you will each give one another written testimonials which you can keep and post to your booking page if you desire.
As a bonus, you are literally receiving readings every week, which is deeply nourishing (and needed), and gives you the unique opportunity to gain insights in your life through multiple modalities.
Not only will you get a chance to work with everyone in the group, you will also get to partner with The 13th Reader, who will support you in the creation-discovery of your voice.
DAILY PRACTICES
Everyone will be encouraged to keep a daily journal noting profound thoughts, “aha” moments, ideas coming through, dreams, astro patterns with mood and thoughts, fear inventory, and a morning daily tarot or oracle card pull with an end-of-day shorthand interpretation. This doesn’t have to take more than 20 minutes total of the day.
This is a part of my own practice that has been integral in my metamorphosis into an intuitive reader, which you can take or leave as you wish after experimenting with it in your own ways.
ONE-ON-ONE COACHING WITH BRITTEN
FOR EARLY BIRDS ONLY: a 90-minute session with me.
In our time together, we will explore the practical, the personal, and the chart-based questions you’re working with in your process of emergence. We’ll attune to where you might benefit from “an open window.” I want to illuminate a possibility you might not be seeing to expand your path in some way.
“My experience in The Magician’s Table was nothing short of miraculous. It catalyzed movement for all the shifts that have been happening for me these last couple years. I feel like I’m on a whole new timeline, and I fact may have jumped MANY timelines over the course of that three months. I am in awe and grateful.” ~ Lisa Quigley of @the.glitch.witch
“Thank you, Britten, for your incomprehensible brilliance in manifesting this perfectly timed framework that helped me learn to trust in my magic exactly as it is!” – Carly Juniper @rosesandcosmos
The Magician’s Table is designed for a specific type of person.
This experience is for you if:
- you feel yourself to be emerging forward as an astrologer, tarot reader, mystic guide, and/or energy healer – all forms of what I’m calling “readers”
- you have been serving your modality for years but you don’t feel like you’ve quite landed on your unique offering and you feel stuck
- you crave support, practice, challenge, rapport, and inspiration, a place for your questions, fears, and blocks, and a home for foundational growth
- you get excited about the ways in which being in community and empowering others can help you to grow your own community and attune to your own empowerment
- you align with decolonial, antiracist, queer approaches to healing and service and are excited to continue unlearning from the toxic urgencies and perfectionism of capitalism’s conditioning
- you resonate strongly with my voice and/or those of the 13th Readers, and you trust me that this will be good for you
- you are ready and willing to show up to the live calls every week, partner each week, and engage with our community (in other words, you are ready to own your own emergence)
- you respect that this investment of your time, money, and energy will flow back to you in bigger ways than you can even begin to imagine
This workshop circle is not for you if:
- you are still learning the basic technical foundation of the reader’s craft and are not ready to read for others (this is not a how-to or a certification course)
- you know deep down that you will resent me for asking for your time, money, and energy
- you prefer a strict academic setting (we will laugh often, be messy, and applaud one another for our cleverness and wit)
- you are looking to center or pedestalize me as the authority in your process
- you are uninterested in exploring your shadow material or you are committed to seeing yourself as a victim in your life (you won’t enjoy the lessons then)
- you will expect me or the other magicians to carry what the container brings up for you (we will all be holding our own death and growth processes)
- you can’t make a pledge to honor everyone’s unique and beautiful spirit, especially those who are different from you
- you are in a vulnerable time of processing trauma and do not have the capacity for the kinds of activations this container will bring up
- you are in a period of financial precarity of the sort that you are not resourced enough to invest time, energy, and money to being here this round
“The Magician’s Table was the rite of passage I needed to step into my wildest, most authentic purpose. This experience changed my life, as I encountered deep and unexpected transformations in my work, my relationships, my sense of community, my magical practice, my identities, and my capacity to claim and embody my roles as a reader, artist, space holder, and mystic. The tools I learned and the connections I made in this space are lifetime gifts. TMT taught me how to show up fiercely and bravely in loving community and to acknowledge and embody the wisdom and tools I carry within. I emerged from this chrysalis transformed, inspired, and ready to share my creative powers with the world!” – Mallory Dowd, Seoul, South Korea
“I really really really believe in what you have created with The Magician’s Table. It’s a work of humanist art, a living breathing word and idea garden.” – Magda S.
“The Magician’s Table course was a recalibration of who I understand myself to be. Because of TMT, I trust myself and I know I belong. Sure, I understood this on some intellectual level. I was aware I have tools and skills. But the experience we shared solidified the truth in my bones–I am love and I AM a Magician! My life has been enriched in ever evolving ways. I am forever grateful to Britten LaRue for being our brave and wise guide. Her authenticity and fierce gentleness is exemplary, a model for what is possible when we listen and trust.” – Mary S., Maine
“Thank you for this magic space, Britten. I’m healing in ways I didn’t even know I needed to. Ways that years of therapy didn’t even bring to the surface. There is something just so healing about the feeling of coming home to yourself, and this what just one week of committing to this journey has given me. It’s truly magical.” – Alicia F.
Curriculum For The Magician’s Table
A Workshop Circle for Emerging Readers
We kick off with an opening weekend March 23-24. Starting the week of 3/27 for 3 months, we will meet for a discussion circle once a week. Between group meetings, participants will meet with their assigned partner to exchange 30-minute readings based on what came up. We will take 2 weeks total off for built-in spaciousness.
When you apply, you can indicate your time preference:
9 AM CST with Samar Jade
1 PM CST with Erin Kelley
5 PM CST with Nicole France-Coe
The spirit of the curriculum is rooted in the four elements that we associate with the tools of the Magician from the The Magician card in the tarot. The Pentacle (Earth), Cup (Water), Sword (Air), and Wand (Fire) are the primary forces in Western esoteric tradition, including astrology.
When I dreamed this course in my mind’s eyes, I had a vision that each week we move through the elements together. The first time through we focus on our personal, interior, intimate relationship with each. This helps us to know ourselves and cultivate more discernment as self-listeners. Then we move back though the elements and relate to them through our engagement with the world around us: our clients, our communities, our world.
We start with the heaviest element Earth, and work our way up through Water, then Air, then Fire. Then we move back down from Fire, to Air, to Water, and then to Earth again. I see this as a movement up and down one’s spine. It’s also the spine of the TMT experience.
On either side of these 8 elemental invitations, I offer initiating and closing invitations to help us move in together and then help us to close.
Does curriculum turn you on?!

“The Magician’s Table was a life-changing experience. On a practical level, it profoundly boosted my reading skills and my confidence. Exchanging weekly readings with 12 other talented, intuitive, committed readers within the integrity of this container helped me clearly locate the unique gifts I personally bring into my reading spaces. At the same time, we were able enrich our practices by learning from one another and trading behind-the-scenes insights. Although we were all primarily focused on our individual journeys, the friendship that grew in this space was unforgettable. Each participant within this intimate container displayed a genuine desire to witness each other grow personally and professionally.
As a facilitator, Britten’s approach is deeply holistic. In the past, I’ve been resistant towards courses that are slightly more ‘business-oriented,’ simply because I tend to see the same disconnect between spirit and work I witnessed in corporate spaces replicated in those courses. That’s not the case here. Britten brought her whole self, modeling what it looks like to build a professional practice with sincere reverence for our soul-level calling as its foundation. No tricks and gimmicks here, just plenty of nourishing practices you can adapt for yourself at different stages of your emergence as a worker in the spirit realm.
Don’t take this course if you wish your practice to stay the same. It’s a one-way ticket that will expand and challenge you in ways beyond your wildest imagination.” – Jonathan Koe, 13th Reader 2021 and 2023 participant

“The Magician’s Table, above all, empowered me to tend my inner Reader and to cultivate the growth of my unique vision from seed to sprout; to witness its bloom and receive its harvest. The connections made through the uplifting community of my fellow magic-makers are lifelong and constellating. My experience with this offering gifted me the fortitude to hold my Hermit lantern high for all to see, and I am infinitely grateful.” – Rosie Cole
“My experience with TMT was life-changing but not in the way I expected. I tried so hard to leave expectations at the door but I’m human so that’s hard haha. I grew so much more confident in my abilities as a reader and was given the space I needed to embody and embrace the ME I was cultivating within my modality. Having so many sessions to play and practice without pressure was beneficial beyond words. I loved my exposure to other magical beings and am forever changed by my experience in this container.” ~ Belle P.
“Coming to the Magician’s Table requires an understanding that the person you are when you arrive will not be the same person when you leave. That kind of transformation is truly remarkable. The course is designed with incredible thought and care for the magicians.” ~ Samar Jade of @ensoulment.doula
the TMT Steward
BRITTEN LARUE (she/her) Despite a deep love of scholarship, Britten left behind a doctoral track in art history after hearing the moon call to her. Following a long season of apprenticeship under the teachings of the lunar cycle during a time of great change, Britten emerged into a new life as a public astrologer, an author, a teacher, and an intuitive guide.
Born a student-teacher with The Hierophant as her life card, Britten is known for describing the complicated ancient art of astrology in ways that feel profoundly heart-opening, transformative, and inspiring. Britten is a deeply Piscean human being, which comes through in the expansive frequency of the spaces she caretakes. Her Watery nature is supported by the devoted commitment to structure of her Capricorn Moon and the zesty bravado of her Aries Rising.
Britten calls what she does Emergence Astrology. The name Emergence Astrology centers her primary interest in the discipline: attuning to what is emerging in and for and through us so we can live and trust with more wild aliveness and embodied magic. In everything, Britten sees her role as a steward to the offerings that want to move through her. Her job is to lovingly hold the space in service to the magic that wants to find form.
A 3/5 Emotional Manifesting Generator, Britten is a magician of words and is known for her “framework magic” such as Living the Signs, Moon to Moon, Intentions as Sentient Beings, the Emergent No, Vulture Magic, “Feeling more means feeling more,” “If it’s not resonant, it’s not fucking resonant,” humpability, chartless astrology, “Abundance begins with No,” “field research for yourself,” and many more keywords and sayings that become inside lingo in her client-student-mentee community.
Britten lives on the seized ancestral home of a variety of Indigenous Peoples including the Caddo, Wichita, and Comanche, now known as Dallas, TX. She is descended from Swedish immigrants to Minnesota on her maternal side and colonial English settlers on her paternal side (though her last name comes from Pierre Le Roux, who was a French Huguenot!). She has direct lines to two woman ancestors taken to trial and acquitted for witchcraft in 1675: one in Torsåker, Sweden, one in Massachusetts.
An INFJ and 12th House person who unashamedly needs a lot of quiet “cave time,” she balances her bustling career with a devoted journaling practice, neighborhood runs, meditation with her spirit counsel who she refers to as her “cosmic family,” daily tarot pulls, and cooking fried eggs for rice bowls. She gives and receives love abundantly with her two teenage daughters (a Scorpio and a Taurus), her boyfriend, Matt (a fellow Pisces), and a golden-collie named Buddy.
Her first book Living Astrology: How to Weave the Wisdom of All 12 Signs into Your Everyday Life will be released March 5 by Gibbs Smith, under a Capricorn Moon.
“Britten’s approach is confident and knowledgeable; it is so easy to trust her and the power of her containers. She is honest, personal, and not afraid to cry. I appreciate that Britten incorporates her life story and her various metaphysical experiences across the field into her teaching, as so much of what we are working on is experiential. Every meditation, psychic tool, and text included is intentional and purposeful.” ~ TMT participant, 2023
Adjectives from TMT alums to describe Britten’s teaching and leadership style: MALEFIC AF. Spider wisdom. Moon water. Trusting (trust in the participants to be grown ups especially!). Confident.

Questions & Answers
Q: I resonate so much with the messaging of this offering but I don’t know if it’s “for me.” How do I know if it’s for me?
A: Because you resonate with the messaging of the offering. Half the medicine of this experience if having the audacity to name yourself a magical person who belongs with us.
Q: How do I know if I’m ready to be an “emerging reader,” especially if it’s hard to tell if my resistance is rooted in imposter syndrome or I truly just don’t know if I’m ready?
A: If you have offered an intuitively-led gift to someone else – it doesn’t matter at all if this was paid or for a loved one – and you had the exhilarating sense that you can do this and that you might even be really good at it… then you are ready to emerge. We will work on imposter syndrome issues along the way as a community. Moreover, we will also be practicing together. You will each have 12 opportunities to practice giving readings, which is a LOT of practice.
Q: Do I qualify for the group if I am currently getting paid for readings and already have a small but growing following?
A: Definitely! The Circle will help you to clarify your voice, grow your practice, nurture relationships with other readers for support, and melt any remaining self-doubt about your calling. Total confidence in who you are as a reader is not something that happens instantly once you’re doing it. Plus, it’s very different to read for other practitioners than it is to read for people who know way less than you do about your field. Reading for other practitioners will help you to hone your tools and grow more certain in your abilities.
All of the above concerns underline a key point here: everyone will enter the Circle from their own position along a larger process of emergence that will be totally unique to each person, and this is not a problem. This is not a comparative or competitive experience. Everyone will feel “ahead” and “behind” in various ways, and everyone will have a beautiful contribution to share from their own place of experience and embodied wisdom.
Q: My biggest concern is time. I want to experience all of this so much, but I don’t know if I have the bandwidth right now. How many hours a week will this require of me in order to meet the expectations for the group?
A: This is a really important question because the “success” of the Circle really does depend on everyone showing up. You will need to plan on a minimum of 2 hours a week: one for the live group meeting and around one for your partnering workshop session. This doesn’t include engaging with and implementing the curriculum invitations to your business / practice.
Q: I’m fluent in more than one modality (eg. astrology + tarot). Can I practice both modalities in this circle?
A: Absolutely! One of our maxims is “my modality is me.” It’s whatever moves through you. Most of the magicians who come into this space are both multi-modality. Many of your peers will be multi-hyphenate magicians, and part of cultivating multiple tools means knowing and trusting in the weaving of one’s modalities to meet the client where they are.
Q: Do I have to know astrology to participate? Are most of the participants coming to practice to astrology? I’m worried I’ll be the only one who isn’t an astrologer.
A: You do not need any astrology fluency for this experience, though you will learn some astrology just naturally by being around me. Generally, less than half of the participants in each cohort call themselves astrologers. Most honestly do not even know what to call themselves when they arrive! Part of our process is supporting you in creating language for self-description.
The best way to learn more about TMT is to dive into the trove of episodes on Moon to Moon, some solo and many with alumni from various iterations. Look for episodes from Jan-Feb across the last 3 years. Across the coming week, I will be recording new episodes with alumni from the 2023 cohorts.

“My experience with The Magician’s Table was completely life changing. When I said yes to this container, I was already in a path of wild emergence, it felt foggy and gooey and also exhilarating. There was a lot of haziness, fear of the unknown, fear of what I was shedding and fear of what I was calling IN. Fear of my own power. I knew I was in some kind of threshold, in between fear and courage, between the past and some kind of magical future I could taste and feel but not see. In a way, I was already on my way to claiming/reclaiming a dormant cosmic warrior that was inside. But I was so afraid, to be myself, to be perceived as a fake, to be seen as too much. This experience, not a class, more of a journey if you ask me, helped me clear away the doubts, clear away the fuzziness of fear-based decision making and allow myself to witness what it would be like to fully embrace the tools I had been cultivating throughout my entire life.
And so I did. I experienced many emotions as I rode this wave of emergence with my TMT companions. Fear, longing, exhilaration, jealousy, so much self doubt, complete emotional breakdown, explosions of confidence, lightning bolts of energy, mind expansion, heart expansion, meeting myself on the other side of the mirror for the first time, seeing these brooding plutonian eyes shed tears of compassion for myself, for my new friends, for the path we cannot see but that we know is at the other side of fear. Every single week was an act of alchemy. Every single week was an opportunity to compost and to come out stronger.
What I learned in this container and the people that gave life to it is almost indescribable. I am different because of it, because of this experience. There was a lot of shedding that took place, I felt lighter, braver, more grounded, more myself. I also gained a family of friends and collaborators. The community that was created was one of the greatest treasures of this experience. I am forever grateful and proud of myself for saying yes.” – Mariola Rosario, Paris, France
“The entire Magician’s Table container, felt like an extra-meaningful summer camp experience, where you truly come into your own and give of yourself, and you’re pretty sure none of you will ever me the same once back home. Despite my nervousness at the outset, I was welcomed with open, non-judgmental arms, that showed up for me each week even when I wasn’t sure I believed in myself. That sort of iterative webbing of support felt organic yet was foundationally connected to the thoughtful planning that Britten put into all aspects of this program. From the decentralized format, to the open feedback loop, The Magician’s Table was both reliable and adaptable from day 1.
And the support never stopped either — the threads of community sewn will provide fabric that can clothe the soul. I am in touch with many fellow-TMTers regularly, will meet some in the flesh even soon, are supporting several amazing Patreons, have found vital services to support my own path, and these wonderful humans to bounce ideas off of, share memes and musings with on IG, and they are my reliable go-to for resources, new information, etc.” – Lily of the Valley
“Britten, you’ve given me the gift of Astrology, and shown me the magic of how Tarot and Astrology work so well together. This class was the impetus for me to do what I previously considered to be impossible. I will forever be grateful.” – Anne Marie, Dallas
“The Magician’s Table is a beautiful container with something for everyone, seriously jam-packed with incredible resources and information. But what I loved most was the community that formed. Britten is talented at bringing unique and brilliant folks together in a beautifully supportive space, several of whom I now call friends. Through this process, I also learned so much about myself! Not only who I am as an astrologer but also my personal life too. 10/10. Don’t sleep on this!” – Erin Kelley
“The Magician’s Table is far more than an online classroom experience. It is a journey that one takes, into the depths of themselves as well as those sharing the experience with you. It’s a lesson in connection and abundance. An experience that is certain to pivot the direction of your steps back onto your very own Yellow Brick Road, all the way back home to yourself.” – Kelsey B., Manitoba, CA
“The Magician’s Table provided me with an incredible group of like-minded creatives, passionate teachings from Britten, and the opportunity to better understand my own gifts. The weekly meetings were a sacred space full of passion, support, and learning from other’s experiences. I would highly recommend the Magician’s Table to anyone looking to expand their sense of self and embark on a journey with unique and inspiring individuals. I was hesitant to sign up because life was “too busy” and I am beyond grateful I put my personal needs first and went for it. I can’t imagine having missed out on this once in a lifetime opportunity. If you’re considering it, you should absolutely do it!” – Lauren M., Dallas, TX
“The Magician’s Table was a life-altering experience! This was more than a workshop; it was a communal ritual of transformation and emergence. I came out of this chrysalis more resourced and inspired to offer up my creations to the world. Within this warm and generative space tended by wise and skillful co-leaders, I learned how to hold and be held in community and gained myriad tools and skills that will serve me as I move in the direction of my work in this world. I gained clarity and confidence in my gifts as a tarot reader and artist. I rediscovered my voice and gained the courage to start sharing it! The Magician’s Table was a rich, expansive, and surprising course that was worth far more than the cost of enrollment. I will forever cherish the lessons, the conversations, and the connections I experienced in this magical space. Thank you, Britten!” – Mallory Dowd
“Britten is an astrologer who operates from her highest integrity. This is clear from the container that she created and the participants that constellated around her in The Magician’s Table. I was initially nervous about joining TMT, thinking “who am I to join this space??” but, I am so glad that I listened to my “Yes”. Our group’s time together was a life changing experience of magic, kinship, self-exploration, and emergence. I am forever changed.” – J Skeans, San Antonio, TX
“The Magician’s Table is a momentum. An experience. An invitation to allow oneself to meet and step into the highest expression of their skills. It’s a collision. A movement. A trajectory. A coven. A community of kindred spirits. A metamorphosis. I drop so many nouns here because I was thrilled at what I discovered week-to-week and day by day. I had no idea what to expect when I signed up. I knew it would be profound, but it ended up being a precipice that would define the next moves of my life, moves that I had not been clear on my capacity of making; moves that would lift me into the golden orb of beginning to joyfully live my deepest potentialities. It was a whirlpool of love and encouragement, catching the raging and cleansing waters of a cascade of information, of acceptance, of witnessing and being witnessed.
Through working with Britten 1:1, in The Magician’s Table, Soft Strength and now Charting Your Course, I am mesmerized, inspired and grateful for her ability to craft a curriculum. Within The Magician’s Table, we were gifted a cauldron of mystical and practical ingredients that one needs in order to emerge as not only a professional reader, but a human who takes up space. I lovingly refer to Britten as “the content queen” because of her capacity to select, designate and nurture materials and information into something digestible, though at times still quite challenging, for her students. Britten’s expertise at weaving a fabric of incredible resources that are obviously and not-so-obviously related to the topic at hand is a skill that I truly appreciate and have directly benefited from. Britten’s capacity to not center herself, even amidst this masterpiece of a course, really helped us emerge with an even stronger shield to meet the world with our individual truths, vulnerabilities and strengths.
The course paid for itself with the tremendous readings from my incomparable classmates; individuals whom I have become closely bonded with (I was not expecting or looking for this!) through the shared experience of opening up, giving and receiving. I watched each of these readers emerge as what I think most would consider professionals across the three months of the class. I am a better person for having received readings from them, for knowing them, and for having partaken in community with them.
In terms of practicality, I learned a lot about running a business, about clients, boundaries and also experienced a safe space in which I knew my readings would be received by people who really wanted them. My business has expanded – I have expanded – and I am still processing, integrating and implementing the knowledge from this class months later. There is so much I could say about The Magician’s Table, but I will end with this: It exceeded my expectations. I could not have expected anything, to be honest, because I do not think another course that is this complex, this complete, this diverse and this compelling exists covering this vast and magical range of material. When you step across the threshold of The Magician’s Table, you step into a creative force field where you are taught how to trust in using the tools that you already have at your disposal, and where you will find infinitely more available for your use. I am emerging transformed.” – Megan Frye, www.healingwavehypnosis.com
