Thanks Kissa and TA for the kind words. The pictures do look lovely and seem to be making sense to me in the few daily draws that I have done. I hope that you also go get yourself a copy and join in. Like me, you may be very surprised about how a deck that at one time had no connection with me, has finally grabbed hold. Having said all of this, I can't take all the credit, since it was 'xviiirkna's' post that inspired me in the first place. Her Thoth has been nude and naughty for over a year now.
Mercenary, I am glad that you gave it a shot, and I am glad that you are happy with the results. I very much like the 'cut' version, but also, if I ever found them to be a proble, know that an extra copy is not that hard to come by, should I want one. I think that I would have less problems with the keywords after a long time of study with the cut deck. The keywords make it difficult to have a relationship with the deck; it is like they hold me at arms length and don't allow me to project any of myself onto or into it. Maybe, after a length of studying them like this, I would be able to read with a bordered deck and not notice the keywords. For now though, I feel that is not likely.
