I started out using the Thoth deck - it was the only deck I used for at least 10 years. What was frustrating to me was that I couldn't understand why I couldn't memorize all the cards & their reversals, even after so many years. I even made a book for myself for quick reference. The images on the cards don't give a lot to pull from - it's kind of like the Ironwing (which - personally I think the Ironwing is a better deck) but it's that same thing where unless you're brilliant it's difficult to even know what card it is you're looking at half the time, and remembering the meaning of the card - well, it's just not as blunt, lets put it that way. When I finally switched to RWS I couldn't believe how much sense everything made just from looking at the image. That, to me, is what's missing with the Thoth - for me anyway it was impossible to be able to look at the graphic and just know what the card was all about. I wished I hadn't stayed with the Thoth for so long.
So my next question is:
If so, why is the -thoth tarot- better than other decks for divination?
After having saved this post, I decide that I rather start a new thread on this.
