A memorial for those in the  Tarot & Metaphysical community we have lost, including forum members.  May they rest in peace.

The section for studying individual cards.

A post for each decan and its related cards will be created here as the time comes.
This is a public club, so your posts can be seen by everyone including guests to the forum (no log in).

(Because decan dates shift by a day or two each year, these 2025 dates aren't always the same as the standard approximation dates you'll see on most sites/books.)

Discuss more general topics like your decan studies, favorite astrology sites, Telos Tarot of 777 or other decks that are RWS/Thoth inspired, etc. And if you have a question or suggestion about the club, post it here. 🙂

Anything you write in this club is visible even to visitors who aren't forum members. (If you'd like something private, the journals section in the main forum can only be seen by forum members. Even more private are the Card a Day club journals, where only fellow club members can see posts.)

We love to see your thoughts about the current decan in the Decan Posts. This section is for your deep dives into subjects/decks, notes that aren't specific to the current decan, or anything that doesn't fit in the shared space.

If you have a question about whether something you want to journal relates closely enough to the decans, don't worry about it here. This is your space, so if it makes sense to you to post it here, go ahead (as long as it doesn't break club rules.)

You may want to state whether you're open to others commenting in your journal. 

This book has a large section on the meanings of the cards as well as the reversed meanings.  There's a small section on the keywords for both upright and reversed cards and then there's a section of (quite a big one of about 200 pages) of full upright and reversed meanings.  

After the upright and reversed meanings, then comes the instruction on how to choose signifiers.  I think we should cover the sections on meanings and then we can move on to choosing signifiers and pick up the pace.  Let's spend a few days as we get through this section, just reading and absorbing it all. I've never given as in-depth meanings as Benebell does, so it's new to me in some aspects.

I've never chosen signifiers before so that will be interesting to learn, too.  Once we learn all that, then we can get started on actually doing spreads.  I've always used a 7-card spread of my own making but I think I want to start out doing three-card spreads with both reversals and upright cards when we get there.  I think using the more involved reversed meanings will give really in-depth meanings even with just three cards.

My thoughts on using reversals might be different than  people usually do.  I've been reversing one section of cards and then shuffling them in but somehow that doesn't feel right to me.  What I'm going to do is just shuffle all the cards upright (the whole deck) and then put the cards down in a fan and ask the sitter to choose three cards but, with one reversed, keeping all the cards face down till they're turned over face up by me when I read them.  I've just never gotten so I can feel comfortable with me doing the reversing.  It seems more accurate to have the sitter do it.  You can do whichever technique seems right to you.
