I've (apparently) just acquired my first Thoth-based deck, the Vision Quest Tarot, courtesy of the lovely Mariana in a trade here at AT. Mariana warned me that I would have some learning to do as it was a Thoth and she saw from my profile that it would be my first. Well, I'm very happy with the trade and I'm much attracted to the deck, but I don't really understand what makes Thoth so different, except that it's the Kings (Fathers in the Vision Quest) that are shown on horseback rather than the Knights (Sons). OK, some of the keywords are slightly different from those in other decks I have - Doubt for the 3 of Swords (Feathers) and Excess for the 7 of Cups (Vessels) spring to mind. But my beloved Secret Forest, which as far as I know isn't Thoth-based, also has some idiosyncratic keywords, for example Lateral Thinking for the 7 of Cups and Melancholy for the 8 of Cups.
Can anyone alleviate my confusion, please??
