prudence
Crowley's numbering of the trumps may have been influenced by the Hebrew letter correlations, but the older decks were not, as far as historical evidence has shown. We should be careful to make that clear, as all of this information will likely be overwhelming and confusing to anyone who is new to older decks, their numbering and their history.However, the numbering is a superficial difference and doesn't even begin tell the whole story. Crowley's apparent reversion to the Marseille numbering is not directly related to the cardinal number placement of the Strength and Justice cards. It has to do with the Hebrew letter correlations of the Emperor and Star cards (as well as the Strength and Justice cards) and their positions on the Hermetic Tree of Life.
There have been a lot of overlays placed on the old tarot decks and the newer ones that those old decks inspired, but they can be read without any of those overlays, on the other hand, they can be read with heaping portions of them. It's up to the reader. I just don't want to see anyone get confused and think that the oldest tarot type decks actually incorporated any of this other information, because as far as we know from the historical evidence available, they did not.
