Tarot Orat
After many years with RWS and its clones, plus the occasional Thoth-based deck that I loved the artwork of but didn't totally understand, I took the plunge and bought a Thoth deck from my friendly neighborhood metaphysical store. I haven't opened the deck yet, the cards are still contained in their shrink wrap. I really want to let them out - but I'm kinda nervous about it, too. I've gotten the impression that Thoth is a LOT different than what I'm used to, and have no idea if I'll connect with it or not! Does anyone have recommendations for looking at this deck for the first time? Obviously I have to be in an open, receptive frame of mind, and I should try not to be too nervous I guess. I think I've put up a "no Thoth zone" wall around me for so long that I don't know how to pull it down and approach the deck as something fresh, new, and exciting!
