Alchemical Tarot Study Group

Thanks for sharing; is this posted somewhere or via email? I noticed the alchemical site expired the end of January. I ordered the new book but I guess it will be a while before we have a copy. Enjoy the teleclass!

Jeez, is it a big hardback? Why so pricey?

not sure...I'll tell you when I get a copy though...might be because it is self-published?

About the Author

Hi,
How is your print quality? I received mine last week and it looks like it was printed on an old dot matrix printer on some pages. I haven't had time to begin reading, yet, but I'm looking forward to it... even with the awful print run.

I haven't noticed any problems yet...what pages look bad in your copy? I'd like to look at mine to see if maybe I missed something...

Maybe you should exchange it if you got a lemon... I got a creased Fool card in my 3rd edition deck and R. Place got a replacement in the mail the same day I emailed him.

I put my treasured, old-faithful, Ancient Italian Tarot on the shelf and pulled out my Alchemical Tarot Renewed to start getting the feel of it prior to the start of our IDS.

I got the Alchemical Renewed deck a few months ago, and got the book this past week. I'm in the process of reading it. So far I'm enjoying it a lot, and have a much better understanding of alchemy. I would like to join this study group.

[RexMalaki]

Wonderful! Welcome Cocobird55, that's six of us if everyone is still in...

The last few pages of the book... maybe they were running out of ink.

I'm not around a lot at the moment but will definitely keep an eye on this study group and hopefully contribute when I can. I don't have the new book, but do have the original.
