We would like to welcome you to an Open Forum discussion on the Tarot, Qabalah and the Path of Return B.O.T.A. style!

New Open Forum Series on the Tarot

In this series, we will take up each key of the Major Arcana singly and in sequence, first looking at their magical images, which will lead us into a discussion of the meaning of their symbols, and practical uses in our spiritual work.

To make this series accessible to all aspirants, regardless of experience, we will use only 4 B.O.T.A. publications as our resources:

The Tarot, Key to the Wisdom of the Ages, by Paul F. Case

The Highlights of Tarot, by Paul F. Case

Inspirational Thoughts on Tarot, by Rev. Ann Davies

The Book of Tokens, by Paul F. Case

We will have these books on hand to use during the Open Forum along with an essential resource of a good dictionary. You may also purchase them at our Online Store at: www.bota.org

This is also a forum to ask any questions you may have about the Order, our lesson curriculum, the Western Mysteries, and meet like-minded spiritual aspirants on every level of the Path of Return. This is a down-to-earth meeting with an encouraging and supportive vibe and sharing with each other. We are cultivating a community of TRUE B.O.T.A. aspirants who are interested in the Path of Return as taught by our Founders and our only teachers, Paul Foster Case and Ann Davies.

Andrea declared her goal in Year 5 of her ALS diagnosis…right before a pandemic shut down all races. Go On, Be Brave is not just a “sports” or “disease” documentary.
