Why membership?
The Association connects those of us who share an interest in tarot studies and who value the work undertaken by the Association.
Membership supports the activities of the Association, whether in its publications, websites, events, the International Tarot Award, and any other activities decided. Membership provides the resources - both material and personal - that ensures that the Association continues its activities according to its stated purposes (mentioned above).
Members also obtain discounts to certain items with various retailers and, in some cases, directly through
the ATS; Any member may also request to be listed in the membership page with a link to her or his own site and, if requested, a page within this website (see, for example, jmd's page);
...and of course, membership provides support for any other venture decided on
by the Association - such as Tarotpedia, Tarot
Café, and the annual Tarot
Journal Taros.
Most activities of the ATS are freely available to members and non-members alike (such as the monthly Newsletter).
Membership allows you to be directly involved with further developments and is an explicit support for the Association's offerings to the broader tarot community. Your support sustains this ongoing work of the Association for Tarot Studies.
