Ok...after much deliberation I joined BOTA. I waited for the lessons to arrive. I must say I was pretty much disappointed. The self initiation ritual was very lame. The two lessons were on Practical Occultism and had little, if anything, to do with the Tarot or qaballah. The rest of the packet was full of ads and cheap commercialism . Is this really what the Whare-Ra lodge of the Golden Dawn [the last original lodge] closed down in lieu of???
All in all I'd suggest that the seeker put the money toward a subscription to this forum/website or buy one the fine books recommended here.
From what I've seen of "membership" it's of the same quality & nature of AMORC in San jose Ca and their "lessons."
In fact I'm very glad I steered clear of both these and other such "secret" organizations 35+ years ago when I started on the path otherwise I might have given it up as a blind alley jejune of any real benefit or real knowledge.
Has anyone seen the complete course?
