News: the studygroup has been revived! Yay!
For each card, we have decided to post, if technically and legally possible, the full tale (or a link to it) - and to restard the discussion.
The pace of the group with be relatively fast (but not furious), with several cards per week. Of course, all revived cards are open to discussion, even several weeks after their revival.
The following card threads have already been revived:
The Fool: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=63966
The Magician: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=66761
The High Priestess: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?p=1872763&posted=1#post1872763
The full index for the study group, including those threads that have not yet been revived is maintained by Sulis and available here:

See you there!

Hello.
I am currently in the process of thoroughly studying the fairytale tarot (Magic realist).
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reviving the study group that started some time ago but is now as full of life as a dead snail.
My idea is the following :
* We start each card with the full version of the tale (if available and public domain - no copyright violation intended)
* We can then all jot down our analyses and random thoughts about the card
* I'd prefer if the pace was relatively quick for two reasons: I don't want the process to take two years and I fear people might lose interest if it takes too long (maybe what happened to the previous study group ?)
* If it garners enough interest and good ideas, I might compile a web page about our most interesting findings, so that everyone can enjoy our discussion in an accessible format.
Finally I have one question: is it ok to start a new group or is it more or less mandatory to continue with the previous one ? I'd strongly prefer to start a new one, because of the structure and because the previous one didn't get very far, but I don't want to if it's considered as really bad behaviour.
Please let me know if you would like to join such an adventure.
Take care,
Xavier
