I have mixed feelings. I like a lot of Paul Foster Case's thoughts on the relationship between Tarot and Kabbalah. As far as organizations go, they're not at the top of my list. I'm not at all interested in groups which try to deny that there's anything but 'bright blessings' and fun and good in the universe.
We're so rural its hard to get any kind of CM training (GD,OTO, etc.), outside of what we're already doing in BTW, so I'm looking into correspondence training groups as a lark.
I never joined the BOTA. I couldn't bring myself to join them after reading their literature. Besides which, I'm not really interested in any magical organizations I've encountered. The Golden Dawn and the OTO aren't serious enough for me, the A.'.A.'. is a crock of shit, the OTA are arrogant elitists, etc.
I myself prefer self-training. While I wish I could have apprenticed under one of my favorite authors (who is now dead), I don't think it's at all necessary, and I certainly prefer one-on-one apprenticeships to orders and classes. If I ever come to a point where I'm able to teach, I will do one-on-one exclusively.
