Therefore, it is increasingly necessary to keep quiet. In Russia, very, very few people are interested in the Western Tradition at a serious level.
I was thinking because you speak Russian you wouldn't be able to read English words. I have noticed on some of your posts on other threads that you forget to post in English. Which is fine because everyone on here can find a translator tool on the Internet.
All my relatives are Catholic and my social circle is zero. I am forced to self teach myself. Luckily Bring4th has many threads that can help me understand what I am reading. I found this one diagram in the archetypes forum that really helped me to see the mind, body, spirit comparison in a different way.
This has some different attributions to the cards, more modern, but the layout is in the manner of the Tarot Tableau, which is a beneficial way to study the Tarot.
It is not, in my experience, wise to try to study many Tarot systems at once, because there are different ways the cards are laid out and designed.
Each Tarot deck is really an encapsulation of the experience of the practitioner. However, the deck of BOTA is designed as an initiatory deck in which all the card designs interlock and communicate with each other. To remove or alter any in the deck is to break the overall pattern. I suspect this is true for many Tarot decks within themselves.
The difference however is most practitioners do not write whole books explaining the schematic of their decks, although some do. With this deck the book serves as a useful guide for study. This just as an example of one deck that has the resource available. The Tarot deck that they used with the Ra Material is the Brotherhood of Light deck.

These are the ones that probably make the most sense to use when studying the archetypes of the Ra Material.
