Third Saturday Open Forum


Details
The Los Angeles B.O.T.A. Open Forum meets on the third Saturday of each month. Together, we explore and discuss the Tarot and Holy Qabalah, according to the principles of Ageless Wisdom. This sharing of insights in a non-judgmental, loving environment provides a forum for contemplation, creative expression, and compassionate community. No preparation on your part is required, beyond interest in the subject matter.
For the next six months or so we will be reading and discussing the book The Kybalion: A Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece written anonymously by Three Initiates. This is a fascinating book that aligns closely with our B.O.T.A. teachings and we look forward to going through it together.
There is no requirement for you to own this book, but if you do have a copy of The Kybalion, please bring it with you so you can read along.
We will have a handful of copies of The Kybalion and some printouts of the pages we will be reading, so we will be able to pass those around. But if you don't already have this book, it could be a great addition to your library. It was originally published in 1908n and has been in the public domain for some time so it is available free from any number of online sources, but can also be purchased at many bookstores, including the BOTA bookstore.
