Preposterous!
How exactly have I altered the Thoth and projected the Mayan calendar upon it?
All I’ve done is take the constellations, which are not of my invention, to show how the Caduceus points to the winter solstice at 2012, and bisects the ecliptic across the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. In and of itself this might be a coincidence except for the fact that these constellations also establish the astrological settings present at the zero year, Dec.25th of our calendar system - a necessary prerequisite to having a year count up to 2012 at all. Furthermore, the fact that the Egyptian Caduceus and the Mayan Kukulkan are both feathered serpents and that the Mayans also attributed an importance to this same 2012 date would strongly indicate an intentional design by someone, somewhere, at some date. I’m no statistician, but I expect the odds of all those factors being a product of random chance is highly improbable.
Crowley was in Mexico around the time the calendar was being deciphered, so it is feasible he was aware of the 2012 date even if he never makes mention of it in any of his writings. As I noted earlier, this may all be evidence of an occult conspiracy to capitalize on 2012 hysteria and be a pretty good prank by “the wickedest man on earth.”
Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't recall having yet made any statements as to what this might mean for the future. I have, however, pointed out that this would all be consistent with either a lost Gnostic teaching or an ancient prophecy concerning the Egyptian Sun God, Horus.
I’ve not presented this to start my own cult or troll this forum.
As the implications of this enigma fly in the face of the current ruling paradigm regarding the origins of Tarot, it should come as no surprise that many will simply try to shout it down rather than examine the constellations for themselves. There is precedent for this sort of behavior within the history of ideas. Since the whole Caduceus-Jesus-2012-Mayan connection presents a rather controversial enigma, I expect the shouting will get a lot louder and come from more than just the historians of Tarot. This may give you some indication as to why I have chosen, for the time being, to remain anonymous.
Apples Anyone?

Greg Stanton said:You've taken the Thoth, altered it, and projected your own ideas about the Mayan calendar onto it, then announced "hey, look at the puzzle I've solved." You couldn't "unlock the key" without changing the "lock", by your own admission. Doesn't this tell you that you are off the mark?
You haven't established any real connection between the Mayan calendar and the Thoth tarot. Did Crowley ever mention the Mayan calendar in his writings, or even express awareness of it? Or is this an "occult" connection that you have arbitrarily chosen to explore?
Why all the fuss about the Mayan calendar anyway? Why are the Mayans so special? They're all dead, their civilization is gone, yet you are projecting onto them special powers and giving them an authority over some great cosmic event. Please explain.
