I recieved my Thoth deck yesterday. Thank you Always Wondering
.
The large deck is a true work of art.
One thing I immediately noticed is that looking at pictures of the deck does not do it justice. It is only when you have one in your hands do you really get the detail and brilliance of the cards. Lady Frieda Harris did a masterful job on the artwork.
The main difference between the Thoth and the Liber T to me is that the colors are so much more vibrant and alive. The colors seem to speak to me which helps to get more energy off of the cards. I am taken aback by the energy coming off of the deck. Dont get me wrong the Liber T was good but the Thoth is on a different level.
Just like you guys said they both indeed are interchangeable. What you learn on one deck can indeed be transferred to the other one.
Another thing is that the LWB for the Thoth is the best one I have ever seen. It is very good to read to add to what I already know about the Thoth. The Thoth is a deck that truly worthy of constant lifetime study.
Last night I slept with it next to me on the bed to further impress my energies on the cards. I will be using the Thoth exclusively in the weeks to come. I really want to bond myself to the cards.
But I do have one question concerning the colors. I am already aware that the colors for the 22 trumps come from the King-Queen-Prince-Princess color scale as set up by the Golden Dawn.
My question is where does the color scheme for the decans come from. Where did Crowley draw the inspiration from to color the decans.
