Does anyone have this book, "Tarot for Dummies"? It's by Amber Jayanti. If you do, what are your thoughts on it? Has it helped you with tarot?
Tarot for Dummies

I have this book, and its a great resource. She has some great ideas, and conveys them well in this book.
My only caution is that Amber Jayanti is a BOTA trained scholar. If your dogma has evolved from another source, it could be in conflict.

Here's a review by me of the Tarot for Dummies deck/book set, which is a Rider-Waite deck with an abridged version of the book.

Re: Tarot for dummies
BOTA stands for Brotherhood of the Adytym. It is a mystical school whose headquarters is in Los Angeles. In addition to the practice of religion, they teach a course about the Tarot.
Their course about the Tarot focuses on the Qaballah as a basis for card correspondences. Should you follow Golden Dawn, Thoth or other systems of correspondences, it could be in conflict.

Hi divinerguy ... I haven't followed BOTA teachings too much. However, I note that GD and Crowley also used Qabalah in their tarot systems. Can you give an example of how the BOTA system of tarot correspondences would be in conflict?
Thanks !

I thought BOTA stood for Builders of the Adytum....

Yes, you're right, Phoenix ... "Builders" is what's given in their website at http://www.bota.org/

Phoenix - correct - I should've checked my materials before I spoke
