New2, I take it you have a beginners book of some sort to learn the basic card meanings and basic suit and number meanings? After that , I would let each deck stand on it's own , pretty much. If I had to worry whether the 5 of cups in thoth was more like the 5 of cups Reversed in rider-waite ,Or if the 7 swords in rider-waite reversed was more like the upright card in thoth , I think I'd feel way too confuddled to even attempt a reading and Then if I purchased another deck , oh my!!! :-D ! Sorry , no offense intended , but if you can hold all that in your mind, you've got one up on me! Good luck and happy readings!
