That's all there is in my copy of Book T. Can you reference the post you're asking about?

Do you mean the 'A Method of Divination' part about the OOTK? My GD compendium has that as the next chapter, as Book T is sorta-kinda a book of it's own. Anyway, the next bit is online here (and probably several other places).

Mary's text quoted in my previous post talks of missing examples. Also, examples were originally mentioned in this post http://www.tarotforum.net/showpost.php?p=1353293&postcount=24 of the thread.

I don't mean the OOTK, but as you say, there are no examples in your copy either, I'm wondering which book does have the examples?

Do a google search on the the phrase
"he begins to neglect his business which yet is fairly good" . Use quotes.

These sources should include all the examples. Unfortunately, when printed in straight text, as they seem to be on line, they are rather confusing. Robert Wang's An Introduction to the Golden Dawn Tarot placed the examples in diagrams and tables which makes it so much easier to understand. You might try putting all the info into your own diagrams and tables—which would be a wonderful way to learn exactly what Mathers was doing.

Thank you, thank you, Mary. :)
