Hello everyone,
I have been lurking occasionally on these forums for the last year or so and decided it is time to be more proactive in participating. I have been interested in various New Age/Wiccan/Neo-pagan movements for most of my life though never had any formal involvement. Most of my time was spent reading and I came to study new religious movements somewhat academically. On this path, however, I discovered the writings of Crowley, especially Magick in Theory and Practice, as well as Tarot. Thelema soon became a spiritual interest and I am now working to learn more diligently the formal symbolism and symbolic structures of the Qabalistic interpretation of Tarot using the Thoth deck. Due to my rather rural location, I don't have access to a physical community in which I can work toward these goals. I hope LAShTAL might provide this a bit, but I am also very interested in connecting with other learners and more experienced individuals personally via email or other means. Since my location will likely soon be changing due to graduate school (though I am not yet certain where), I plan to seek out an in-person group working within a structured system since I feel this will be more beneficial and productive for me spiritually than haphazard a-la-carte solo learning has been (however inwardly fruitful). If anyone has any advice to that end I would be glad to hear it. I hope to see you all around the forums!

You forgot to mention in which hemisphere you are or will probably be located, tho' you can probably add that information later...
Meanwhile, wishing you success in the Great Work & Do what thou [= ateh] wilt!

93! Greetings and welcome Sophie. It's interesting that you wrote your post on my late Mother's birthday. My wife and I are originally from Maryland and Virginia respectively and have mostly resided in Miami, FL since 1979 e.v. I have traveled up and down the eastern seaboard from Nova Scotia to FL and would be interested to discover where you ended up.
