Hi, mysticmanth. It will be a pleasure to have you join us. Feel free to jump in whenever you're ready.
I have a couple of concerns with having single threads devoted to groups of cards. It seems like it would be easy for the threads to become unwieldly if we get a lot of posters throwing in a lot of detailed comments on each of the different cards in the group. It could also be awkward trying to decide when to split off a group thread into single threads when posts get too detailed. And It could be a bit inconvenient for anyone looking through the study group for views on one particular card to sort through a group thread.
Perhaps instead we could start a thread on The Magician, then move on with threads for each of the four aces, then The High Priestess, followed by the four twos, etc. We can always add comparison threads if we feel the need after discussing the individual cards in question. Would that work for you?

The study groups I've seen have been less than orderly.
Folks just usually post a card and their interpretation/questions, and others add their comments. I've found this to happen especially when someone has a recurring card(s) in their readings, and are trying to find the meaning in that.
In the New ORleans Voodoo Tarot group (and this occurred before I joined AT), the group did a study of all of the number groups (Aces, twos, threes, etc), THEN did a separate thread on each of teh cards (each ace, each two, etc.). That way, the similarities and differences were more apparent, and didn't end up unwieldy.
Do people prefer to start with the majors, or the minors, or what? I'm open to whatever.
How about you just post a card and we'll take it from there?
