Don't be so sensitive
I guess I wont get answers to my questions then.

I didnt feel sensitive about your comments, I felt some of them were reactive and not related to my question. I can dig out my Thoth deck and point out all the things I think showed a technical lack or whatever. The thing is if you go to art school you see a LOT of kids just starting out who use the same forms, techniques, off-looking figures that are done from photos, no-faces, swirlies, poorly done hands and feet. Whats the point of my going through the deck, and commenting on individual cards. I did also answer your questions that stuck out. The Steiner geometry is fine and apparent in her work. That her peers described her as "qualified" and talented like you were trying to establish is fair enough, but not apparent, at least in the Thoth deck.
You are correct that i didnt look at the links, because of my mild frustration with your posts.
I apologize and will look at them.
Having said this, your own comments about the lack of craftspeople in the Thelema groups you were overseeing, is more to the point of my question and I enjoyed reading them.
Closrapexa, i did see her tracing boards when I did a goodle image search. A tracing board is used in a post-initiation explanation of the meaning of a masonic rite, degree, ritual etc.
They are preferable to me as they dont really show human figures (not her strong suit) and highlight her geometric strengths.
Also, this isnt about photorealism, but when you do get into representational imagery, as the Thoth deck does, and when there is an attempt at a certain level of realism, the weak-spots, which all artists have to struggle with such as hands and feet, proportion and gesture etc are unfortunately more apparent. I went to a Picasso exhibit and there were a ton of early paintings and drawings where you could see he still sucked at hands and feet. This is why the show was interesting and why so many of the images arent the ones we see in books. Eventually he got through that issue and you can see it in his work. His more stylized and cubist work, in large part was only so powerful because he was transcending limits of representation and seeing, not skipping them.
Personally I think Jean-Cocteau, an esotericist writer, film maker, designer etc, who made highly esoteric work, as well as used shocking subject matter such as gay sex and incest would have made a great GD or Thoth deck with just his minimal line drawings and little hints of colour. But what likely would have happened is that he would have also schooled Waite and Crowley on the importance of art to the work they were pursuing.
