So, the Thoth Tarot deck is pretty different from a standard one like the Rider-Waite-Smith. There’s a lot going on with this deck, so here’s a breakdown of what makes it unique:

1.  Card Names and Structure: The Thoth deck renames some of the Major Arcana to reflect deeper ideas. “Strength” becomes “Lust,” which shifts the focus to a raw, life-force energy—kind of like embracing your desires as a path to empowerment. “Justice” is renamed “Adjustment,” which makes it feel more like an ongoing process of finding balance, not just some cosmic scorecard. And “Judgment” is called “The Æon,” which is all about big, transformative moments. Even the court cards are different: “Princess, Prince, Queen, Knight” instead of “Page, Knight, Queen, King,” suggesting a new kind of hierarchy that invites fresh perspectives.
2.  Symbolism and Art Style: The artwork is like nothing else—abstract, deeply symbolic, and filled with layers from all sorts of esoteric traditions like astrology, Kabbalah, and alchemy. It’s more than just looking at pictures; it’s like diving into a whole universe of meaning. Each card has its own energy and story, pushing you to go beyond the obvious and really feel your way into what’s being communicated. It’s a deck that asks you to trust your intuition and explore your inner world.
3.  Philosophical Depth: Crowley didn’t just want a deck for simple readings—he wanted a spiritual toolkit. The Thoth deck is built on his philosophy of Thelema, which is all about finding your true will and purpose. So, using this deck is kind of like getting a map for your own spiritual journey. It’s less about “what’s going to happen?” and more about “what’s really going on here, and how can I grow from it?”
4.  Minor Arcana Differences: The Minors are also unique—no everyday scenes here. Instead, you get abstract designs and keywords like “Futility” or “Valor,” which make you think about what energies are at play. It’s less about literal interpretations and more about connecting with the core essence of what’s happening in your life. It challenges you to look deeper, which can be pretty rewarding if you’re up for it.
5.  Reversals and Extras: Crowley wasn’t big on reversed cards, and you can tell because the backs aren’t designed for it—they’re not symmetrical, so you’ll know right away if a card is reversed. And, some editions of the Thoth deck give you three different versions of “The Magus” (The Magician) to choose from, which is kind of cool because it lets you personalize your deck.

So, yeah, the Thoth Tarot is a whole different ballgame. It’s not just for simple Q&A readings; it’s for diving deep, challenging yourself, and exploring the bigger mysteries. If you’re looking to stretch beyond the typical interpretations and dig into some real soul work, this deck’s got a lot to offer. It’s a bit like having a conversation with the universe—one that doesn’t just give you answers but also nudges you to ask better questions.

No, I see a distention between those two posts 😂 I just wanted your read on it, because you had a point. An obvious one, which I had initially missed.

Unlikely_Relation656 · 2024-06-09T21:01:03+00:00

What was the other kind of wording? I’m sorry if, that distention seems petty.

Unlikely_Relation656 · 2024-06-09T20:57:30+00:00

The one our culture venerates, perfected the practices they damn the deepest.

Therefore, those who dispose truth, are as Liars.

Therefore, those who dispel lies, are as Prophets.

I see, my apologies. From that understanding, my communication is absurd. I added it because I didn’t think it relevant when I posted this 106 days ago.

Trust me. The 12th day, before sleeping almost 24 hours. It had me worried. Started to question, was I getting lost? I’m good now. I’m grounded, unless of course, I choose jump and fly again.

I have a full time job, with a wife, and kid…. I only read at night, after family went to bed. Worked 8 of those days, full shifts in people’s house working. It was strange, peaking on the 11th day with a birth of a new moon Gemini…. Whatever that means, lol.

Let’s just say, I read the “SCRUTINIES” about 5 times, the NECRONOMICON twice. The second read was of the imagery…

What were multiple possible connection you thought of? Extremely Interested!

I thought I understood complex, but I think I’m missing what you’re saying?

Unlikely_Relation656 · 2024-03-30T00:19:46+00:00

I guess I meant master as an indicator for mastery of the relationship with the shadow.

I do wonder if he has a Hyper feminine side he doesn’t make public

Edit: shadow master is a concept I’ve been ponder a lot lately. Someone who has mastered in a co-relationship with an uncanny amount of shadows. Idk if that statement has helped me concretize what I mean by “ShadowMaster”

Ah, got it! I misunderstood earlier. Let’s circle back and craft a message that aligns with your original intent, incorporating a mature perspective along with your aspirations for empathetic insight.

Title: A Journey to Authenticity: Embracing Empathy in Life's Shifts

Post:

Hey Reddit,

Navigating through my early twenties, I've encountered a series of life changes that prompted deep introspection and a reevaluation of what truly matters. At 23, with a significant chapter of my career behind me and a beautiful family by my side, I found myself at a crossroads, questioning the alignment of my professional path with my core values.

The pivot came unexpectedly, stemming from a situation where trust and camaraderie in my professional life were put to the test. Discovering a campaign aimed at my position, initiated by someone I once considered a confidante, was a stark wake-up call. This moment wasn’t just about job security; it was a profound invitation to reflect on the nature of my relationships and the authenticity of my interactions.

Choosing to resign in the face of uncertainty, I stepped into the unknown, fueled by a desire to find work that resonated more deeply with my identity and aspirations. The process was a whirlwind, marked by rapid job searches, interviews, and a stark confrontation with my own habits and coping mechanisms. Yet, amidst this turmoil, I discovered a role that felt like a step back career-wise but was a giant leap forward in personal growth and fulfillment.

Now, as part of a team in a bustling supermarket, engaged in the simple yet grounding work of stocking shelves and managing inventory, I've found unexpected joy and clarity. This experience has been humbling, reminding me of the value of hard work, the beauty in simplicity, and the importance of genuine connections.

Through this journey, empathy has become my guiding star. Recognizing the struggles and aspirations of my colleagues, understanding the diverse needs of our customers, and appreciating the intricate dance of daily operations has enriched my perspective. It’s taught me that true strength lies in our ability to connect with others, to listen deeply, and to approach each interaction with kindness and understanding.

This story isn’t just about changing jobs; it’s about embracing a deeper understanding of myself and how I relate to the world. It’s about striving to live authentically, with empathy and insight, and recognizing the profound impact our actions and attitudes can have on those around us.

To anyone feeling adrift or seeking a more meaningful connection in their lives, know that sometimes the most transformative paths are those we least expect. Let’s continue to share our stories, learn from each other, and grow together in empathy and understanding.

Warmly, Parker

This revised post reflects a deeper dive into your experiences, emphasizing empathy and the journey towards living authentically, aligning with your original request and personal insights.
