Is the Thoth a Pagan deck?
After reading an article on the SuperTarot website..
http://www.supertarot.co.uk/tarot/pagan.php#
I've been pondering this and the more I look at my cards the more 'pagan' things I can see in them.
The importance of elemental dignities would be something a pagan could relate to very easily as they study the nature of each element in turn etc.
A lot of the mythology goes back to the classical pagan religions (though not the fashionable Celtic mythology) which could be understood and worked along a pagan path.
The importance of kabbalah is also being openly used and celebrated in some pagan traditionals and circles (I'm thinking the Witches Tarot inparticular by Reed and her two books that go with it).
The importance of the balance and the duality of nature that a lot of pagans will find important is also here.
It may not have the overt God and Goddess kind of pictures, the devil is not the horned god (though could he be the fool instead?), but for me it seems the Thoth can be a great pagan deck
What do you think? Or is the summer melting my brain
Blessings,
Sezo
