Gene Mecka,
Tarot Reader and Coach
|
Why is the Tree of Life Sanctuary bringing on an additional tarot reader to its coaching team? Why am I recommending to you a new tarot reader when I do tarot readings myself? First, because I have known Gene for over 40 years. We both received our Hermetic Qabalah spiritual training in the same School of the Soul. I trust him. Second, because Gene’s readings are very different from the ones I offer. He does use the same deck I use, the Thoth deck, however his readings are much broader. He offers two types of readings, the Birth Matrix and the Divine Enquiry. He also offers coaching to support you in applying the insights and wisdom from
the reading that you receive.
To illustrate what I mean, let me share about the recent “Divine Enquiry” reading I had with him over skype.
In my first one hour appointment with him, he supported me in making sure that my question was very clear and was coming from Soul level. This is how he starts with all of his clients. Once I crafted my question and was sure it was right, I selected my card. Then we set up my next appointment with him. If you are a new client, he spends some time getting to know you and aligning with your energy. If he already knows you, he still takes time to check in
with you and align.
Between this appointment and my next one, Gene spent many hours preparing. This preparation included deep analysis of the card I had chosen, and additional cards that are part of the “family” of the card. He captured the meaning of these cards in a document, and also invested
meditation time devoted to my question and answer. Obviously, this was a multiple day, multiple hour and multiple platform process, versus a typical one hour conversation with a tarot reader.
At my second appointment, we had a 2.5 hour conversation where he shared all of this information with me at a
pace with which I was comfortable. I experienced many epiphanies and validations as he shared the information with me. Right after the reading, he emailed me a beautiful 18 page narrative full of supportive details on the cards and the layout that he used.
See what I mean? This is
what makes Gene’s readings unique from most other tarot readers. There is a place for all types of tarot readings, for sure. However if you are longing for a tarot reading that is much more broad than the ones I offer, and one that brings with it the option to be coached on applying the answer, Gene’s Soul Connection readings will wildly satisfy your longing!
You can learn more about Gene below. He also will be present from noon to 1 pm via Skype at ToLS's Summer Solstice open house this coming Saturday. Please come join us in this great opportunity to get to know the ToLS family. We will be open from 10 am to 4 pm with light refreshments
provided.
For you fellow Trekkers, my Star Trek Convention story progresses.....I have about 60 pictures left to insert into the ebook. My goal still is to have it ready for release by July!
Check out the latest sneak peek picture - below the class list.
Until our next connection, keep taking extraordinary care of yourself so you can be your extraordinary best for others.
Love and light,
Laura

Tree of Life Sanctuary Introduces our Newest Team Coach
Gene Mecka! |
Gene Mecka has had over 40 years of extensive study and hands-on experience in using Hermetic Qabalah for Change and Personal Expansion on every level of the human experience: Spiritually,
Emotionally, Mentally and Physically.
At a young age, Gene had the ability to “See” quite deeply into his Self, and began to explore those places. His journey was quite challenging and rewarding, which led to seeking a Spiritual Teacher to help him navigate the
territory.
After spending 12 years in the Navy and finishing his BS degree in electronics, he met his Teacher and entered a school of Magick and Mysticism with roots in Hermetic Qabalah. After 11 years of study and application of this training, he graduated as a Teacher and Minister of
Qabalah.
He started his own school of the soul in 1980, the Order of the New Aeon, a non-profit entity devoted to assisting individuals with HOW to access the “Wisdom of all Ages” within themselves…connecting to their Authentic-Self/True-Self, through the Teachings of Qabalah. He also holds NLP
Practitioner Certification and Facticity Specialty Trainings in the Wisdom School of Paradox Management, Paradox Management & the Tao of Dilemma, Basic Patterns of NLP for Energy Psychology and Paradox Management, and the Paradoxical Enneagram. He is currently completing coach specific training with Impact Academy.
Gene married a wonderful woman traveling a parallel path, and they had two daughters together who are now in their twenties; one a full-time mother with two daughters and the other going for her PhD in Environmental Sciences.
He continues to teach Qabalah
and coaches through his Soul-Connection Tarot Readings, two of which he calls the Birth Matrix and the Divine Enquiry. The Tree of Life Sanctuary is honored to partner with Gene as a Team Coach.

Testimonials from Gene’s Clients |
Experiencing a Birth Matrix reading with Rev. Gene was perhaps the strongest pivotal moment I have had on my path of self-recognition. This reading took the knowledge I gained of myself through an astrological
reading to new heights, giving me a deeper understanding of the person I was born to be, lending to a stronger commitment to myself. Rev. Gene's shares his knowledge and understanding of both the Tarot and the Tree of Life with grace, humor and care. I give my highest accolades to this experience and will recommend this journey often. -JK
A transformational counselor and coach, mind-body psycho-spiritual, energetic a catalyst for transformation of Human consciousness. He has the skill of a surgeon, only his integrity is the blade. Thank you, Thank you! -Therapist, with a practice in Oregon
Gene has been a wonderful mentor to me over the years. As I reached various stages in life, various forks in the road, his knowledge and understanding surrounding the Tree of Life, the Qabalah, and his intuitive channeling of the Tarot provided guidance as I made decisions on which path to take. I was taught early on that from birth to death, life is a continuous journey. More forks in the road appear with more decisions
to be made. Sometimes life’s decisions are easy. Sometimes guidance is needed when the direction is not so clear. Often when I look for guidance I turn to Gene and his Tarot deck. When asking the Tarot for guidance, it is important to be as clear as possible with my question. The clearer the question, the clearer the guidance. Gene’s method of
Tarot guidance involves 3 steps: Step #1 is the interview. It is important that Gene (the interpreter) and I (the client) develop an understanding on which road I am on, and the decision I am facing. Step #2 is
another interview, reaffirming of the understanding from Step #1, developing a clear question, and drawing from the deck. A brief explanation of the draw is provided. Soon afterward, I receive the extensive report on my reading. Step #3 is the debrief of the written chart. Guidance, challenges,
distractions, focuses. Different gems of feedback throughout the chart.I pick the fork and move down the next path with clarity. Thanks Gene. I love you. You throw a mean Tarot! -DH
