Hey, silverwings
I'm also quite inexperienced with the Thoth, and would like to weigh in with some words of . . . balance
Not quite warning, as I don't want to sound ominous
I have read a lot of different stuff since beginning with this deck, and all of it is swimming around in my brain and further up like a school of frenzied and intensely territorial sharks
meaning, I'm confusing myself. But it's okay, because somewhere in there is a thread that ties all of it together. I trust that I'll find it sooner or later . . . some days I despair of it entirely, other days I am perfectly assured of my intellectual and spiritual capacity for understanding of the deck.
It's a rougher ride than any other deck, IMO, bar none. But it's okay, because sometimes I get flashes of everything crystallising, and that makes every bit of frustration worth it, it really does. I had one today, actually, reading about Kabbalah and there was something in there about the six sephiroth surrounding the Sun of Tiphareth . . . and the 6 of Disks just exploded, unbidden, into my mind. It's powerful, let me tell ya
A greenie, too? Do you mean that it's got the green tint to the card images (and, I think, always a borderless back)? Or that it came in a green box? Crowley and Harris worked hard to incorporate the GD(ish?) system of colour magick into the deck, so while the greenie is something of a curio and I treasure mine, I prefer my (beautifully trimmed, if I do say so myself) AGM printing with the glowing colours. It's incomparable. Having said that, though, I have not even begun to try to understand the colour symbolism.
Anyway, I'm really not trying to scare you away. Just wanted you to know that it's not a walk in the park, it's more like scaling a mountain in a snowstorm without a map. But the sun comes out at exactly the moment you reach each pinnacle, and it's all worth it. Best to you
