The other night I had a dream that prompted me to get out my Thoth deck again. The Thoth was my second deck but I have never been able to read with it and haven't really looked at it for years. Anyway, I bought my deck in about 2001 (ish) and it's the large US Games version in the green box with the Two of Disks on the front.
I did some research here about different versions, waded through what felt like about a hundred different threads and now feel like my head is about to explode. From what I can gather, the most vibrant of the newer editions is the Blue Box large Swiss edition printed by AGMuller? Am I right? Going by the scans on-line, my Green box version seems awfully washed out in comparison. I'd very much love a more vibrant edition but to my dismay it seems that the Swiss edition is no longer available. Am I right?
I must say I'm so confused, and I haven't even started using the deck yet I'm not going to be put off though, the dream was really amazing and I'm sure that I'm meant to be working with this deck right now.
Oh, one final thing.....IF I was going to trim the deck (and it's just an if at this stage), then I'd need a version that had a white border on the back so as not to lose any of the cross when trimming. And from what I can tell, it's the AGMuller version that has the white borders, not my green box version? I notice on Tarot Gardens site they say that the current green box version is almost identical to the currently unavailable blue box Swiss version. Can anyone confirm this? Does it have white borders on the back? Is it brighter than older editions?
I apologise in advance if these questions have been answered before. I honestly feel like I've read every thread I could find on the different versions and I still feel so confused. Thanks in advance for any help.
