Hi everyone.
I have never stepped within these threads before; have been hanging out with the Cosmic Tribe, The Faeries and the Rider Waite study group.
For some reason, I always resisted Thoth and favoured the Waite decks; probably something to do with my tarot roots. Recently, I stumbled on a thread which questioned which people favoured the most out of the two decks. The results were obviously mixed, and as much as I could relate to the people that favoured the Waite decks, there was part of me that wanted to understand what the Thoth readers were experiencing.
I think that it can sometimes be like supporting a football team or their rival. Do you like Manchester United or Arsenal? Were you into The Beatles or The Stones? Do you prefer Blur ot Oasis? Are you a follower of The Waite or The Thoth. In the last example, I am hoping that it is possible to support both and also hope that it is possible to read and study both decks alongside each other. I thought to myself just before I purchased the Thoth deck today that both Waite and Crowley had so much knowlege that it would be a shame to abandon one side and that having both decks could only enhance my study of the tarot. What do you think?
Anyway, I am very excited about working with The Thoth. I know pretty much little about Crowleys symbolism and cards in general so I am hoping that I will be able to start studying it with an open mind and rely on my intuition.
If you are happy to have me, I look forward to studying with you all.
Best wishes
