I believe the answer is:

obsessions

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fascinations' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'with regular tomb meetings' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'regular' means one should take alternating letters.
'meetings' becomes 'sessions' (session is a kind of meeting).
The alternate letters of 'tomb' are 'ob'.
'ob' put next to 'sessions' is 'OBSESSIONS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for obsessions that I've seen is " Things".)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
