 B.O.T.A. Tarot Review
Almost similar enough to the Rider-Waite to be classed as a clone deck, The Builders of the Adytum Tarot is printed in fl and white only and is intended to be coloured by the user.
To start with, I had to look up "adytum" in a dictionary, which defines the word as the innermost room or shrine in certain old temples, to be entered only by a priest, or a sanctum.
Case was the first, and may be the only, initiate to publish a deck intended to be colored by the student, as was required in the Golden Dawn.  Instruction for coloring this deck are available in the booklet "Highlights of Tarot" from Builders of the Adytum (www.bota.org).

BOTA's sole M.O. at this point is to "keep the teachings pure." They are just not forward thinking at all, and they make no point of tyring to be.

To portray adequately the Founder of Builders of the Founder of Builders of the Adytum, Paul Foster Case, is like attempting to describe the great Spiritual Teachers and Messengers who have from time to time walked the earth throughout recorded history.
Case (by then having earned his degree as a Doctor of Theology) resigned from the Golden Dawn (which was being dissolved by the Masters), and after three weeks of personal instruction with the Master R., Builders of the Adytum was formed.
Recognized as world authority on Tarot and Qabalah, such credit being given to him in the writings of many prominent Occult authorities, including Manly P. Hall, the greatest recognition we can give him is to undertake to follow in his spiritual foot steps, so that we, too, may consciously walk with God.
