Los Angeles, CA: Builders of the Adytum Ltd. [ B.O.T.A.], ND [ Copyright 1938 ]. Softcovers. 47 Booklets. Octavo. Stapled in pale blue or canary yellow wrappers lettered in black. Those in yellow are A4 sized sheets stapled at upper left and folded in half to make an octavo sized booklet. Those bound in blue are A4 pages folded in half and stapled at middle, printed in book format. Approximately 300 pages. [ Pagination varies with each lesson: most about six A4 sized printed pages ]. A consecutive run of 47 booklets (a complete set) on the fundamentals of the tarot, each a separate lesson on the tarot images. The set is complete: the last issue is a "Supplement". Undated but from the production we would estimate them to be circa 1965-1975. Paul Foster Case (1884 – 1954 ) the American occultist, Freemason and author who founded the Golden Dawn-influenced Builders of the Adytum ( B.O.T.A) and authored the weekly lessons that became his most important legacy. This is an early set of those lessons. Covers a little chafed at edges, some darkening and small chips, some owner's notes in pencil - but generally a VG example of this scarce ephemeral series of lessons. Item #57429
