After your daily tarot meditation

[Desecrated]

This is one of those question that concerns both teachers and student.

You have finished your daily tarot meditation, you've done all the cards, the journal is filled.
What do you do then?

A new method or do you just start over?
Different deck or a the same.
Jump to daily divination practice with spreads instead of individual cards?

interaction of archetypes- what does the tower mean for the high priestess? the wheel? i would stick with major arcana for this one but you can do as you wish

That is a good suggestion.

A few different options:

- Put two or three together and chain their meanings in a story. Alternate through the deck like that (ie. hyperion's suggestion).
- Pick up a book by someone whose written on either their meditations or the tarot in general - could be Paul Case, Ann Davies, Jason Lotterhand, Robert Wang, Crowley, Knight, even Jodorowski or Unknown Author (Tomberg translated by Powell) if you want to journey the old Marseilles.
- You could always join BOTA to see what kind of trip that takes you on.

We don't have BOTA, But we do have AMORC.

One thing I forgot - when you get done with a cycle of two or three cards in combination you can also start taking major concepts like love, unity, wisdom, etc. in Hebrew and lining up the cards to spell those words and analyzing similarly down the line.

As far as BOTA is concerned they do monograph mailing, $18 a month for four monographs (one weekly) with tons of members in the associate (mail-only) program. They do have regional retreats that you might be able to make once a year or every few years all depending. Being able to actually attend pronaos is great from my experience but it's icing on the cake and I wouldn't say that it's critical. At a minimum with the Tarot Fundamentals course the knowledge base and inspiration has been well worth it. If you have group work as a top priority then yeah, you'll want to maybe grab the Golden Dawn reading list and start something in your area but in that regard you may need to blaze your own trail and even then, once you're ready to head a group, wait several years till anything beyond a discussion group comes of it.
