Orphic Meridian Association

Tarot, astrology, myth, and practice ethics

The association studies how these traditions are learned and used through historical sources, interpretive methods, and practical cases.

Four areas currently in the archive

Each area includes source material, contemporary practice, and questions that need further study.
