La Force
The Thoth deck for me, is top knotch.
Personal experience with the Thoth.
When I first got the Thoth, I was like WTH am I doing. Why did I get this Deck. It would live in and out of my cedar trunk.
I was so drawn to it, like flies on *****. lol, I couldn't for the life me put my finger on it. I purchased 3 books for this deck, read them all, put them away. Felt lost and confused. Then I said to myself dang it all, something is missing in all my other decks, Oh wait the system is messed up, WTH, darn RWS, then Darn all RWS clones, put all RWS decks in trunk, never to be read with again. Wow, that was drastic. Pulled out the Thoth, looked at the cards, said why are you so darn difficult, could you not be any easier, geezzz. What am I going to do with you anyways. Then I had this most interesting idea, scissor happy time. I cut of all the borders leaving only the image. hmmmm I thought, this better do it. I start using the the Thoth by just it's colors, how did those colors on each card make me feel. after a couple months of this, I then just focused on the divinatory meanings of each card, memorizing them (made flash cards out of recipe cards) started with one word, then worked my way up. Then, I moved into astrology (basics), then I gradually moved into (kabbalah) starting with just the pips, 1 - 10, the last thing I did was the paths of the major arcana. I still have the I-ching to learn, but that will come in time.
Basically if you take a step back from the complexity of the deck, to its most simple form, the deck will walk you through step - by - step at your own pace, never rushing you to know more advance stuff, until your ready to know. The book of Thoth, works in the same manner, you will only understand, what your able to at the time, and with each reading the book reveals a little more, based on your understanding.
when we were children we started school in kindergarden, then grade 1 up to grade 12. This is how the Thoth Tarot deck and the Book of Thoth works.
Does this make any sense to you?
so In my opinion, this is why the deck is so popular. I to this day can honestly say the Thoth deck doesn't have a System flaw. Which radiates strongly with me, being an over-analysis, over-thinker, I couldn't for the life of me find any flaws like I did in the RWS system, even though they are both GD, AC in my opinion fixed all the Flaws, where the RWS Failed in it's system.
