2014 Tarot Project
-
93 everyone!
2014 is fast approaching and all that's on my mind is bringing the tarot project back.
The first run went well but there hasn't been much activity in that thread since the project ended and I don't know what Jim has in store for the new year but it would be a shame to have this portion of the Forum removed because we're not doing anything with it.
What I personally think would be a lot of fun is to have a bunch of us breathe some life back into the project and take it for a second run. It'll be an awesome contribution to the growing community that we have here and who knows. Maybe you'll be inspired to take on accomplishing something else that's important to you out of your participation in the project.
If this sound good to you either send me a private message or just reply in the body of this thread.

I suggest you start from scratch - we wipe out the old thread (so that new things appear as you move to them - otherwise, it gets visually confusing).
That's just a suggestion, though. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks Av!
Jim, I was thinking the same thing.

I'm in.
It's been on my mind a while, in fact.

Thumbs up
(That's as close to a thumbs up smily as there is. Why isn't there a thumbs up smily?)

Try these:

OK, 'Reef, look at the forum now and tell me what you think.

Sign me up.
I was to busy with college to participate in the last project but now that that nightmare is over I can get back to my real studies.
I was planning on starting my own regimen anyhow so this works out great.
-
Thanks Jim. Looks good.
Legis, Gno & Meph thanks for throwing your hats in.
We'll kick the project off on 12/31.
Can each of you share what you'd like to get out of completing the project?
Anyone else wanna play?
-
Most definately!
I'm game.
I was hoping that this would start up again.I personally would like to get out of this a deeper understanding of the relationships between the cards as well as a better command of the symbolic language of the individual cards.
I also would like to be able to discuss in depth the implications of the astrological facets and how to utilize the cards more efficiently for personal applications.

As for me personally, my studies of the Tarot (and contributions to this forum) ground to a halt during college and during certain personal trials etc. etc. blah blah.
What I want to get out of this is to a.) reignite my studies of the Crowley Deck and the Book of Thoth (both of which I obviously own), b.) correlate these studies with a daily meditation period in a format determined by consensus or by Mr. Eshelman (doesn't matter to me), and c.) share these experiences on the forum and grow together in our understanding and comprehension of the Book of Tahuti. I don't particularly remember the last Project, whether the Court or Small Cards were covered, but it would be nice to focus on the Astrological nuances behind the cards (the subtleties of the decans, for instance, is a subject to which I'd like to devote some interest.)
In short, this would be a cool project and an opportunity to evolve as a community in our understanding of an awesome subject. There you have it.

I have to say that this has been the best way I've experienced of learning the tarot. I only got part-way through the trumps last time. The difference in the depth and feel of my reaction when I look at the ones I've meditated on vs. the ones I haven't meditated on, is profound.
It's also really cool to be able to meditate on a card, and then compare notes. You get objective insights, and then you can see that other people got similar insights. It really helps you learn to trust your meditative impressions.
-
I just think it's awesome, and I'm ready to make another go at it. Always something new - a new facet, a new insight.
My goal is to be more consistent with it this time through.
I was overconfident with the Trumps and didn't do much with them last time since I'd devoted long periods of study to them in the past. But as we went, I really regretted that lack of effort.
Anyway, yeah, my goal is to participate all the way through and get the full effect.
