I think that it is important to find good books to keep studying alongside practice, becasue they can trigger some important realisations in regards to the the workings of the elements, etc. Basically, Astrology and Numerology are good to know... even just the basics. Astrology is good to learn as an aid for understanding yourself. Tarot or Runes are great for connecting to your intuition. Kabbalah/Quabbalah is good to at least know the basics of the Tree of Life. If you are interested in astrology there is a good piece of free software called Astrolog that can help create natal charts (http://www.astrolog.org) I'm usually studying something alongside Bardon, but it is only one other topic. And I let my intuition/conscience help guide me as to where I should start. Blessings PAUL ===== +web: http://condran.id.au +email: paul@...
