a small personal ephipany with the thoth

mosaica

That's beautiful, Scion, the idea of thinking of the deck as a garden -- of color and Kabbalah, astrology and the aeons, etc. I will definitely keep that metaphor in mind as I work with and study the deck, trying not to get too overwhelmed!

I'm intrigued. How old are the kids that you've been working with and how did you come to work with them?

I just wanted to add that I hated the Thoth at first - thought the artwork slimilar to bad 60's sci-fi. Now I love the colors, the elemental dignities, and the astrology - but I cannot memorize it. I lean on others sources like crutches. And it can take me all day, and lots of other time daydreaming, to read one triad.:)
And I have this habit of consulting the Thoth deck when I want the bare-bones truth, as if RWS decks could not or would not? I don't know, maybe there is good distance in the abstract images.
