I feel so stuck in time. I am so strongly drawn to this Thoth deck everything about it resonates with me, however, I feel so stuck. I have been slowly working my way through DuQuette's book before I move onto the Book of Thoth. So far I have gotten some AHHA moments but over all I feel paused in time like I am moving nowhere with the deck.
To give an example of one of these moments I picked up a workbook called Tarot for Yourself. I wanted it for the learning techniques and in the beginning she said she designed the book around the RWS and Thoth decks. So I said cool and I was flipping through the book and there is lots of interesting exercises in here. So I said humm Appendix A has some Divinatory meanings with the Hebrew letter near the card. I opened up to the Star card and YELLED NO NO NO TZADDI IS NOT THE STAR. I almost grabbed a marker to fix it. The Emperor is suppose to be Tzaddi which I took to heart a bit because the Emperor is my Personality card/soul card via numerology calculations.
I guess my real issue is I am having trouble connecting the symbolism together. Some of it I get others I don't. This make it difficult for me to understand the cards and remember what they are telling me. They are indeed very busy cards. Anyone have any tips for lighting a fire under my brain?
Yes I picked up a RWS style deck to see if I should start with that instead and my Thoth deck got violent on me in my dreams. Never thought a deck could be so possessive to someone :S I think I made it angry.
