Lucas Ardwolf Beith was born into a spiritual family and has spent the last 30 years running workshops, courses, development groups and doing individual Tarot and spiritual path consultations. Renowned for his ability to make complex topics easy to understand, he also has a direct writing style that does not pull punches.

Lucas was born in Rochester, England in 1958 of mixed Anglo-Saxon, Irish, Welsh, Scottish and Romany Gypsy ancestry. In other words he is well mixed up. His family migrated to Australia when he was 8 years old. He was raised in a household where spiritual things were accepted. Lucas’ mother, June, is a practicing witch and such interests go back in the family, on both sides, as far as is known. On his mother’s side they are known to have been witches for many generations. Lucas has discovered that, at least for him, spirituality and creativity are strongly linked. When he is blocked in one, he usually is in the other. At the same time, sometimes the best way for him to break through some block in one of these is to throw himself into work in the other.

Lucas runs workshops, seminars and courses in Tarot reading, spiritual development, magick, channelling, meditation and healing. A Tarot and healing practice keeps him in daily practice and provides opportunities to develop techniques and approaches.

His major spiritual interests include clairvoyance, channelling, natural magick, Qabbalistic Magick, Tarot and spiritual healing and counselling. He has developed a method of using Tarot for detailed past-life work, allowing the currents and flows through many past-lives to be examined and is currently writing several books on his approach to Tarot, advanced magick and on creativity.
