The Far Away Centre in the Media
We are able to assist media enquiries into all
aspects of occultism, Tarot and Witchcraft. See the links below
for our most recent article contributions to a range of media events, interviews, and launches, whether for a popular TV show such as "Eastwick" or a University Art Gallery premiere. We can provide workshops, interviews, and research information for all Esoteric, Tarot, Witchcraft related events and news.
We have a great relationship with loca, specialist, mass-popular, international media

SELECTED TESTIMONIALS
"Marcus is someone who Knows - who really Knows, where others can only guess".
- Rachel Pollack, Author of "78 Degrees of Wisdom" and "Tarot Wisdom"
"I am pleased to have at last found a teacher who I can really trust"
Lucy M, Tarot Student (2009)
"... The Tarot reading all came together and for the first time I actually feel a sense of achievement. It wasn't just the individual cards that seemed to speak through me but also their juxtaposition, overall patterns and then other patterns within those patterns (like wheels within wheels) and we literally identified a cycle of behaviour that the Querent had played out over a number of years ... the Tarot felt like a living breathing organism that was holding my hand and each card contained aspects of every other card."
Julia, Advanced Tarot Student, 2009
