What we’re about
The Dallas B.O.T.A. Study Group is a great introduction to Qabalah and esoteric Tarot. It's free and open to the public. The Study Group is held on the 2nd Saturday of every month starting at 10:00 am.
We meet at the Edwin Kiest Masonic Lodge, 10210 Hermosa Drive, Dallas, TX 75218 (close to the intersection of Garland Road and Loop 12 Buckner). Park in the parking lot and come on in. The Lodge is across the street from the White Rock swimming pool. The group has been active since 1991. Visitors are always welcome!
More about the Builders of the Adytum (B.O.T.A.):
Founded by Dr Paul Case in the 1920s, Builders of the Adytum is a Mystery School and training order based on the Western Mystery Tradition. This Qabalistic path has been described as the Yoga of the West, as it has much in common with esoteric Eastern spiritual practices. B.O.T.A. members receive lessons in the mail in Tarot, Qabalah, Spiritual Alchemy, Esoteric Astrology and related disciplines. The coursework is challenging, far-reaching and immensely practical for everyday life. Most months we have a 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 exploring the esoteric symbolism of Christmas and Easter. See the Meetup event announcements below for details.
Newcomers are welcome to join in our discussions. No advanced preparation is necessary; you need only bring your interest, imagination and inquiring mind. We hope to see you soon!
Group Ritual Work is also available to Dallas B.O.T.A. members. Sometimes described as prayer in motion, ritual work has been practiced throughout the ages by spiritual aspirants. Combined with the lesson material, it can be a powerful catalyst to personal growth. After completing the requisite initial coursework, members may request initiation and thereafter participate in our healing ritual work of Pronaos.
