Thoth link

Dävid

I actually came to the Tarot AFTER studying other branches of the occult (mainly kabbalah) for a while first...so as I've said elsewhere, that did give me a HUGE help in understanding Crowley in the BOT. Sometimes I think I take that for granted? The man is simply brilliant with his words, though...it's quite fascinating.

Yeah! I guess a good grounding in Kabbalah would have made it easier for you!

Most people seem to go the other way.
Tarot leads them to the tree of life and on to Kaballah.

It's all fascinating stuff and many different ways to approach it.
It's one of them things that you never finish learning.

have you ever tried learning the Thoth deck for the first time with the BOT.


Yeah. It's all anyone had to go by until relativly recently. Thankfully we live in a time where one can access useful resources to assist them in digesting BOT.

I agree.
Although I have only ever had the BoT myself, mainly because there were no other books when I first got the deck!

Hi Abstract concept

Yes i think about 20yrs ago as Lillie as mentioned there wasn't any Thoth related books out there at that time, so i think having only the BOT was their only option. These day's there does seem to be alot of useful resources available for anyone to gain easier knowledge on how to read the cards.:)
