Melisandre
I've come to tarot very recently (bought my first deck about 6 months ago, and only starting seriously trying to read about 4 months ago). I'm hooked And I love decks - I love the art and the way each take on a particular card helps me gain more insight. As a result, I've accumulated a small collection, and have yet to read with more than a few of them (hence my recent deck-of-the-week project).
Anyway, I've stuck strictly to reading with RWS and RWS-inspired decks....but two of the decks are Thoth-inspired (Silicon Dawn and Sun & Moon). I don't currently own the Thoth.
Now my question is whether I should attempt to read with those two decks without having previously worked with the Thoth? Or should I (presumably after completing my deck of the week project with all my other decks), buy a Thoth and then work with that for awhile, and then follow it up with Silicon Dawn and Sun & Moon? How important is it to know the Thoth before using a Thoth-inspired deck? I'd really love to delve into these decks but I'm feeling a bit intimidated.
Thanks for your input!
