The personal characteristics of a creator may have nothing at all to do with the value of his creations.
Richard Wagner was a thoroughly disgusting womanizer and anti-Semite. Yet his magnificent operas are appreciated by women as well as Jewish music lovers. See, for example, http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/07/movies/stephen-fry-narrates-the-documentary-wagner-me.html?_r=0. You will find similar expressions of appreciation of Wagner's work in various Jewish publications. (Do a Google search.)
I admit that I used to let my opinion of an artist's life influence my judgment of his or her work, but I later came to believe that inspiration was not necessarily influenced by their character or morality (or lack thereof).
I see absolutely no evidence of Crowley's supposedly unsavory reputation in the Thoth deck, so I do not thereby deprive myself of enjoying its excellence.
I agree with you. But wasnt the artist of the deck a woman? I think im going to sell the deck anyhow since ill never figure it out LOL
