I've been looking at this deck. Just examining the cards over and over. They absolutely fascinate me. A study group might be the thing. Anyone interested?

Funny you should ask. I just recently dug this out of my collection for some reason that I have completely forgotten about now. It has been by my bed for a couple of weeks now and I look at it before going to bed.
It is intense but it holds so many jewels in it. It compelled me to pick up a copy of Isreal Regardie's book "The Golden Dawn." It contains the Liber T and a lot of good info on the Golden Dawn.
The Hermetic Deck is one of those decks that has so many symbols in it that finding them all is one huge task then learning and understanding them even more so.
The problem is that I am gearing up for the National Novel Writing Month and expect/plan to take a break from tarot study. I will be too busy in November and December is always chaos with work and the holidays. I was thinking about a Jan/Feb IDS with the deck but still that is so far off I can't commit.
In the end the deck really should get a study group and I would love to have the help of a couple extra pairs of eyes and brains examining the cards and cataloging the symbols.
