I'm pretty new to the Thoth deck and just the other night I was doing a reading for a friend, when the five of swords dropped. As I was scrutinizing it's imagery, I couldn't help but notice that there were two shapes flanking the five swords. To me they looked like swastikas.
I realize that swastikas actually have nothing in common with genocide or fascism and I'm pretty sure that Crowley knew this as well as the swastika has been traced back through history right up to the Sumerians, often times being a symbol of good luck, the cycle of life, the four elements, etc.
Am I just misinterpreting these shapes or is this what I'm seeing and they have some signifigance to the card?
