Founded by Dr. Paul Foster Case in the 1920s, Builders of the Adytum (http://www.bota.org) is a Mystery School and training order based on the Western Mystery tradition. The Qabalistic path is sometimes described as the "Yoga of the West," as it has much in common with esoteric Eastern spiritual practices. B.O.T.A. members receive weekly lessons in Tarot, Qabalah, Alchemy and related disciplines. The coursework is challenging and far-reaching.
Our Dallas B.O.T.A. group meets on the third Saturday of each month. We just celebrated our 18th birthday! Most months we have a Study Group discussion on a topic from Tarot or Qabalah, followed by a guided Qabalistic Meditation and lunch. But some months there are special events, such as our seasonal rituals celebrating the Qabalistic symbolism of Christmas and Easter. Everyone is welcome, and we hope you will join us!
In addition to the Study Group, Group Ritual Work is also available to Dallas B.O.T.A. members. Combined with the lesson material, this can be a powerful catalyst to personal development. After completing the requisite initial coursework, members may request to be initiated and to participate in our healing ritual work of Pronaos.
Can't make it on Saturdays? B.O.T.A. lessons are designed to be studied on your own, in your spare time. To learn more about membership and the coursework, go to http://www.bota.org.
Builders of the Adytum is a non-profit organization.
Dallas Builders of the Adytum will perform its Qabalistic Christmas Ritual on Saturday December 19th at 3:30 PM. You are cordially invited to join us for this beautiful and inspiring celebration. Originated by Rev. Ann Davies in the early 1960s, the ritual brings to life the esoteric symbolism of Christmas. It's a wonderful holiday event each year, and we hope you can join us. Afterward, light refreshments will be served. Read more
