Where to start?
-
Hello all,
I am a complete beginner in the world of Thelema, so was hoping somebody would be able to help me out.
The Thoth Tarot cards are what initially interested me so I have got myself a copy of Lon Milo DuQuette's "Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot" which I am currently working through. So far everything is pretty clear to me, but I'm wandering what your thoughts are on starting with the Tarot (I also have a copy of the Book of Thoth). Should I start elsewhere to build up a greater background knowledge and then work on the Tarot later?
Also because of my current location self study is my only option.Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Alex -

AlexYou're evidently in the Seeker phase - not yet ready to make the significant step into Initiation.
The proper beginning for the Seeker is to dive into whatsoever he or she is drawn to - numerous diverse things, drinking from every available well as much and as long as you wish.
So... go with what attracts you.
