....show to non-tarot readers, those fully unfamiliar? What card best exemplifies
The deck (aside from the effective negative ones) in your opinion.
i want to share a bit of my passion with another forum crowd.

Thanks

I like DuQuette's joke about the Hermit: "...If I
were that egg I'd be nervous!"

lol, however I think the non-initiated would be taken aback with Crowley's Hermit, symbolizing the act of sexual union :)

That was post count 1,947 the year
the year the Master Therion moved on.

I can't believe this place. It's like a whole city
of Crowleyites. I had no idea there were so
people in one place like this. :)

And how fitting it is that that post talked about sex!

And yes, there are some wonderfully knowledgeable people here, I am dwarfed again and again by everyone else :)

I think Crowley knew long before Madison
Avenue did that "any publicity is good
publicity--just spell my name right."
People may be taken aback by his exploits
and cover their faces with their hands but
I bet they're still peeking. LOL

Hi all,

Im currently at work so i must be brief, heres a bit of info:

The image will go on a forum in a hobby / interest thread.
the forum is for pipe smoking enthusiasts ( myself included)
Being a meat and potato crowd (im a vegetarian) i desire a card they can more likely relate to.
I actually considered the chariot or emperor

We enjoy sharing our lives with one another.

Further thoughts ?

Both those cards sound good for what you need.

Maybe the Chariot is more suitable for the pipesmokers. :) Just a gut feeling (I've been looking at that one a lot lately...)

The first Thoth deck image that really sunk into my subconscious, and then continued to pop back up into my waking mind every now and then for no discernible reason whatsoever, was that of the Adjustment card. It just conjured for me this concept of huge archetypal forces at work in our daily, mundane lives. I don't know that it best exemplifies the Thoth deck, although it's certainly one of the group of Major Arcana cards that Crowley renamed and put his mark upon, so it might at least be a decent candidate...?

The next card to have a similar effect on me (and another one Crowley renamed and reworked a bit) was the Universe.
