In BoT the letters, titles, and glyphs for Trumps V and XVIII have the same order as in the USG edition. I assume this also is the case for the rest of the Trumps. Since it is not a USG inaccuracy, the mystery deepens. |

I suspect the variation is just artistic license on Lady Harris's part. For the most part it is not the planetary properties that are important, but the decan indicated by the combination of sign and planet, so the symbology of the glyph may not have concerned Crowley particularly. You do get a proper crossbar on Saturn in some of the cards; 6 of discs, for example. Also, the form of the glyphs has evolved over time and probably predates modern occult explanations of their significance. See this page for examples from the 10th century. |
