    Dear Rawn,

    >> While coloring your own deck is not *necessary*, it is a VERY
    good practice and is, I think, really the very best way to learn and
    to develop a personal relationship with the Major Arcana images.
    [The BOTA deck's minor arcana are very plain.] You can purchase the
    BOTA deck in normal deck size or the Major Arcana alone in large
    size. I've even seen the normal size deck in occult shops but you
    can always order either one from BOTA directly. <<
    >> I HIGHLY recommend the BOTA's Tarot course. It was written by
    Paul Case and is an excellent place to begin. It does mean joining
    BOTA and paying $$$ for their lessons. If I remember correctly,
    there is a short series of lessons that preceeds the Tarot course,
    but they're pretty good too. I didn't care at all for the lessons
    written by Ann Davies that followed the Tarot course, so at that
    point I cancelled my membership. :) <<

    Unfortunately there are not many occult shops in WV ;) But I can
    get a Waite deck, they carry them at Spencer Gifts. I believe that
    may be the best at this time, as this semester has pretty much
    drained all of the extra cash that I had :) So I'll have to save up
    for the BOTA courses, as I would very much like to study them and
    gain a deep insight into the Tarot.

    >> I'd recommend sticking with just one instead of mixing. Bardon's
    images are very relevant to his works but don't really provide an
    inroad to study of the entire Tarot Major Arcana. With the study of
    Tarot, I think a continuity of symbolism is important. <<

    I was fairly certain that was the case, and the continuity aspect
    was my main concern. Don't want to start out on the wrong foot :)

    As always you've been very helpful, thanks for the input.

    All Will Go Well,
    --Alan
