Academy of Psychic Sciences Information

The Academy of Psychic Sciences was founded in Sydney 1985 by Paul Fenton-Smith, who aimed to teach the psychic sciences in a clear and simple manner. Courses were initially in ten week terms with introductory tarot lasting ten weeks and psychic development courses lasting 30 weeks in three ten week terms. Paul taught tarot and palmistry, having studied these since 1978 and fellow teachers taught psychic development classes. Teachers were engaged to teach a variety of courses but in time Paul found that to avoid all the administration demands, he had to simplify the process by trimming back the courses offered. Hiring only one other teacher, Paul set out doing what he loved to do; teaching. Over the years students requested notes for each course and these notes became Paul's books The Tarot Revealed (1995), Palmistry Revealed (1996) and Astrology Revealed (1998). The advanced tarot course notes became Mastering the Tarot and Tarot Masterclass . Each of Paul's books is taken through a 'test run' as a course to test the concepts in a live environment. In this way the students' questions can be incorporated into the final book. Paul continued his studies in London in 1988 and in London and Greece in 1991 and these spiritual studies were chronicled in his book A Secret Door to the Universe (1999). The course format was changed to fit each course into three full days and they were run on three consecutive Sundays. This format has proved a winner, especially since we introduced the repeat offer. Students are encouraged to repeat any course they have attended if they feel that they need to brush up on the course content.
