About Colin

Colin C. McKay is a trainer, coach, and author whose work explores the deeper patterns that shape human behaviour, emotional life, communication, and transformation.

With decades of experience in coaching, training, and personal development, his work has been grounded in a long-standing interest in the structures that sit beneath visible experience, the archetypal forces, symbolic patterns, and internal dynamics that influence how people think, feel, respond, and change. Over the years, this has led him into the study of advanced communication, behavioural transformation, spiritual development, and the symbolic systems that help make sense of the inner journey.

In The Tarot Major Arcana, Colin brings that same integrative approach to the 22 Major Arcana, exploring them not simply as cards, but as living archetypal pathways of transformation. His aim is to make the deeper dimensions of Tarot more accessible without reducing their symbolic richness, and to offer readers a way of engaging the Major Arcana as meaningful guides to inner development.

His writing is especially drawn to the places where psychology, spirituality, symbolism, and personal transformation meet. Rather than treating these as separate disciplines, he approaches them as different ways of illuminating the same underlying human journey.

Through his books, trainings, and broader body of work, Colin’s intention is to help people recognise the deeper patterns at work in their lives, understand where growth is being invited, and engage transformation with greater clarity, depth, and purpose.
