Mychal's teaching strikes like lightning.

Among countless gifts, what makes Oraculos stand apart is an emphasis on the live oral transmission of astrological knowledge between the teacher and students encouraging an understanding beyond textbooks, lectures and notebooks.

I enjoyed the course thoroughly!

Before embarking upon FOCA, I had been studying astrology quite intensely for over 4 years (both modern and traditional) and felt that I had a pretty good understanding of chart interpretation. Mychal’s FOCA course increased my competency in astrological techniques on many levels. Mychal’s teaching style is invigorating, intentional, challenging and impactful. I walked away from FOCA with core chart interpretation techniques that I fully understand and can confidently incorporate into my astrological work. Mychal’s commitment to his work and is students is not only impressive, but also a lot of fun. I was on the edge of my seat in every class!”

Mychal is of another world and we are collectively lucky to have his knowledge and insight.

Mychal possesses not only an ocean-depth of knowledge on both Tarot and Classical Astrology but an unusual ability to teach the material. He has mastered the information and the ability to transmit it... the true sign of understanding.

I had an amazing and challenging time with FOCA. I started as someone who had been involved with astrology for over five years but never took a formal class, so there was a lot I didn't know and it was time for me to know it. I chose Mychal's class because I had been following him for some time on social media and I respected his presentation and brilliance. There was a lot of work I had to do but my overall experience was very positive. I would recommend FOCA to anyone wanting to deepen their knowledge of traditional astrology, and also looking for a container of like-minded souls during this very special time on Earth.

FOCA was a fun, challenging, mind-expanding and exciting astrological journey that far exceeded my wildest hopes for such a course. The rich technical syllabus left no room for uncertainty - everything in FOCA has a rule to follow, a reason behind it, and a process in which to execute it. It is clear that Mychal is deeply committed to his students. He welcomed us into the Oraculos family from day one, went above and beyond to answer our many questions, and his interactive teaching method ensured no student was left behind. In only four months of study, I already have a huge boost in confidence and clarity in my astrological endeavours. I truly cannot think of a better place to study astrology, and I can’t wait to learn more!

The first time I heard Mychal speak I knew I found a teacher. I don’t often seek out teachers, however when I find a true teacher of any art or topic, I am immediately transformed into a student. Since studying at Oraculos, it has taken my understanding of astrology to the next level. In learning modern astrology, many concepts were not a part of the curriculum. Taking courses at Oraculos assisted me in creating a bridge between modern astrology and the astrology passed down to us by our astrological predecessors that we have revived and translated to date. I have made dear friends since I’ve entered this community of practitioners and students and that has also been deeply enriching in ways that are invaluable.

After years of learning astrology, studying with Mychal Bryan for 4 weeks this summer has finally made me feel as if I can actually go out into the world with confidence and read a horoscope professionally and using traditional techniques that are so hard to learn on your own! Mychal is a wonderful teacher, not only is he a goldmine of information about many different astrological techniques, but he also teaches with lots of humor & patience and he makes you feel like you are tapping into magical ancient wisdom. I cannot recommend him enough as an astrology teacher!
