Rose said:Just like the book "78 Degrees of Wisdom" doesn't cover everything about the Waite deck, Akron & Banzhof's book doesn't cover the Thoth deck as completely as the "Book of Thoth." I think both those books were designed to get people started.
Forgive me Rose, for I am going to disagree with you again... but that is what makes discussions interesting, right?
I disagree with the equivalence made between 78DW and Akron Banzhof. 78 Degrees of Wisdom is a very deep book. There was a need and place for this book. I think RP has really mined the deck very deeply for all the nuggets of gold she could find, not that there won't always be more. I don't think this is just a book to "get people started", although I if I am wrong, I would really be delighted, because I would love to read something even deeper.
ON the other hand, in case you haven't noticed (joke) the Akron/Banzhoff book pisses me off...much the same way secondary manuals and courses on "Windows" irritate me -- I just don't see what they add.
