Yay, I've just re-enrolled. I took this class the last time it was offered, and LOVED it. There's a wide range of experience among the students, from people who are taking it for the first time and are new to Tarot, through people who've taken the course multiple times and are very familiar with Tarot. Advice to anyone who's signing up for the first time: read the student introductions a bit at a time. The first week or two, there are TONS of posts to the Student Introductions area. Allot some time for the intros, and the rest of the time for reading the course work, and you'll be able to pace yourself well. Eventually the Student Introductions area quiets down and you can spend more time focusing on the posts in the coursework area. I speak from experience, after trying to read intro after intro and feeling for a while like I'd NEVER get through them all. ;)

I had an excellent experience in the last session also. I learned a lot. People were very generous with their time and resources. There were many great links posted, including this forum! And the format of the B&N classes are very stress-free. I took the Zen class this month and I didn't make it through the entire book, but it will be offered again in November, so I'll pick up where I left off then, and maybe work on it during the "break." This time I am also taking the Beginner's French class and the Dream class. Maybe too much, but again, low stress!

What a great site :) Thanks for sharing the link. I've signed up for the course and hope to learn some tips and insights on the cards.

I just signed up too. I'm looking forward to it!

maria42airam	04 Oct 2004
I think I've overdone it this time. I've signed up for three classes: French, Dreams and Tarot. Why do I always do that? hmm... maybe I should do a reading on that!

I enrolled in it. Maybe it will help me a bit more to be able to read with the RWS. Until now, I haven't got much success except a bit with clones like the Halloween tarot. Maybe I am way too much influenced by the theme of the deck...

Thanks for this post, Maria! I would not have known about this class otherwise. I signed up just now. Looking forward to it!

maria42airam	04 Oct 2004
Wow, you are all very welcome. I'm glad I could help :) See you all there.

I took the BNU class in February, and it was VERY helpful for me. There is SO MUCH information in Joan's book, which I bought specifically for the class....and there is a lot more reading you can do afterward which is not covered in the coursework. I especially loved the lesson on journaling....those of you taking this course might want to check out some threads here on tarot journals that will give you some ideas and inspiration as you develop your own journals. I will do a search and post some links here if anyone is interested....FUN stuff!!! :D Best of luck to everyone....I think you are really going to enjoy this experience.... :) Luna

Here are some links on recent discussions of tarot journals: Tell us about your Tarot Journal Tarot Journal Help for my poor journal Spicing up my tarot journal--HELP! There are several other threads....to see more, go to "Search" and type in "journal" and/or "journals"..... :) Luna

Thanks for posting this information, I'll be joining you right away!

I enrolled the course as well :D I hope it will be a good experience. But I'm sure it will be since everyone gives it such a good feedback.

Cariad	05 Oct 2004
Thanks 4 that link Maria; have just enrolled never done any courses online before! Hope I have not over-committed myself!

I've signed up, too. I thought the dicipline of a class would be good for me. For one thing, it will make me use my RWS deck. I respect the deck for its contribution to the development of tarot, but I don't particularly like it.

I never liked the original Rider-Waite deck either, so when I signed up for this class I bought the Radiant RW, and for me the coloration made all the difference....I made an instant connection with the deck. I also like the colors of the Universal Waite.....just personal preference. :) Luna
