When talking with friends about the Thoth deck, I am inclined to call it the Preah Pisnulok of the Tarot world. That is the Temple in Cambodia we call Angkor Wat. The Temple was commissioned by a Guy called Suryavaman who today is considered creative and expansive- but in reality was not one to like or admire. Historians and scholars debate endlessly why a war Lord would dedicate a Hindu Temple to Vishnu rather than Shiva and place it West not East; why it is so peaceful and beautiful, why the architecture is so striking and who was the Asian Michelangelo who actually built it and how much influence Suryavaman had in it's creation, what philosophy of the heart was imbued within etc etc.
You can visit as a part of your World tour- you can go specifically there- you might even be so impressed as to become Hindu or Buddhist. You can delve into the Gods and myths and legends adorning the walls or sit peacefully by the Lotus growing riot in the moat-walk the Mandorla that is the design and feel the energy- what ever is your inclination, the temple is physically there and when all is said and done, that is what we actually have- Preah Pisnulok.
