what seems strange to me is that the thoth deck doesn't bother me. i bought it and started reading w/ it many years before i learned the extent of aleister crowley's dark history. if i had known more about him before i bonded w/ the deck i might have felt differently.
Hi again Truthsayer,
I am also a big fan of the Thoth. I have both the big green one and the smaller one. I only use them for serious spiritual readings.
And, I am no fan of Aleister Crowley. He was an egomaniac, in the very least. But realize this: that deck was illustrated by Lady Frieda Harris. Every image and symbol you love so was drawn by her hand, not Crowley's.
Hope that makes you feel better!
