    Sounds fun! I think the "Meditation of the Day" format has been a great success on the forum, and I'm sure it will be equally interesting to go through Liber Theta the same way.

    I've been starting work on this a little on my own, but I would much rather work through it systematically in a good group 😄

    Hello, found this meditations group via Facebooks TA group and thought it sounded most excellent. I love the Thoth tarot and look forward to work more with it.
    Got the book on my desktop and deck + journal ready. (I am an obsessive journaler)

    Well since Aegis found a photo of my family reunion and shared it.....
    ( btw that is not me on the far left, with the fancy hat....I am in my birthday suit, waving at the camera)

    I look forward to this new forum, and participating with you all. I have read Thoth Tarot pretty much based upon instinct, going where I was led sort of thing, reading them for myself, and using them as tools for personal transformation.

    So I personally have a lot of room to grow and learn.

    Thank you all for facilitating this great endeavor!

    Speaking of popcorn,
    I just ordered over one hundred cases of TrailsEnd popcorn for my cub scouts pack. Each case has about twenty to thirty bags of AbFab popcorn! And seventy percent of the money goes right back to the scouts.....
    and these one hundred cases are going to be in my tiny tiny home, till I get it all sold....

    Blah blah blah,
    I could sell a sand castle to an arab....

    I live to serve, and help and bring smiles, and and and.....

    I really think I am going to need a big box of wine to get me through this fundraiser....
    Oh yea

    And then, My little girl scout gets to sell cookies......

    So you ladies can have you popcorn, and your cookies...
    This year I am going to have a few drinks,
    One of my friends showed me how it would be good for me,
    Make me live longer, and healthier and happier......

    Here is the I Ching reading that i promised long ago, on our group endeavour. 😉

    from Liber CCVXI
    45 THE ZHUI HEXAGRAM
    Water of Yoni

    ZHUI: Collection; to the shrine repair
    and sacrifice the greatest victories there!

    Alone, art helpless; call thy right ally;
    With him, even small prayers earn heaven's swift reply.
    Baffled, yet struggling, thou shalt cease to sigh.
    Success excuses boldness; recollect
    then to be firm in virtue and correct!
    Weep for thy loneliness - but still aim high!

    the Wilhelm-Baynes translation :
    ** Hexagram 45 – Ts’ui – Gathering Together [Massing]**

    THE JUDGMENT

    GATHERING TOGETHER. Success.
    The king approaches his temple.
    It furthers one to see the great man.
    This brings success. Perseverance furthers.
    To bring great offerings creates good fortune.
    It furthers one to undertake something.

    THE IMAGE

    Over the earth, the lake:
    The image of GATHERING TOGETHER.
    Thus the superior man renews his weapons
    In order to meet the unforeseen.

    This Hexagram is usually connected to big investments, often shared ones, and some higher purpose.
    The Judgement contains some of I Ching's most powerful concepts: 'creating success', 'harvest', 'good fortune', 'seeing great people'.

    The king provides the focal point for the gathering of people, wealth, energy and emotion and such amassement (gathering) is oriented towards a shared goal.
    The people are called on here to sacrifice the biggest and best of their livestock.
    A lake higher than the earth stands for an irrigation reservoir: a crucial investment in cultivation, which also contains the risk of flooding within itself.

    This hexagram very often describes group enterprise: the necessity of a defined common goal to gather the people around the king, as well as the i sacrifices required of the group's members.

    There is high emotional intensity in the moving line texts: 'a hug, smiles, distress, sighs and tears' ( due to efforts to synchronize feelings and deeds with the higher purpose); but every single line also speaks of being 'without fault' - and that's the only hexagram where this is so.

    I have a quick question. I don't have a Thoth deck, only a Tarot of the Elves by Lo Scarabeo. Could I possibly use this deck with Liber Theta? Or should I wait and get a Thoth deck?

    Get the Thoth deck so you can work with the particular set of symbols exclusive to it.

    In the meanwhile, use the images I've included in each post.
