That depends on what you consider to be useful. Only Appendix A (about 10 pages) is explicitly devoted to divination. It describes a rather involved reading method and gives some divinatory keywords for the Major Arcana. The main part of the book is more concerned with the mystical/occult/esoteric significance of the cards. Since that coincides with my own interest in Tarot, it is very useful for me, although I do not necessarily use it in connection with the Thoth deck, my deck of choice being the Rider-Waite. Here are my top four Tarot reference books, in no particular order:Yeah thats it; the book of thoth?
whatcha think of it? is it really useful?
I couldn't see any difference at first, but now I do. Nice!I see it's now on version 4.
Jim Eshelman said:In this Fourth Edition, I have added a versicle near the top of each Trump page. These poetic passages, rich in visual and emotional imagery, are from a devotional work titled Liber Amoris vel Calicis that was a fruit of parabhakti practices in 1997. These verses express the intimacy between the adept and the Holy Guardian Angel in terms of each letter of the Hebrew alphabet. They may be of assistance in understanding the deeper implications of each card in terms of its letter symbolism and placement on the Tree of Life.
I use this deck a little and love it, but wonder if I would use it more and better if I had the handbook because it is quite different isn't it?
Anybody got the book? if so, does it help a lot, or should I not bother?
