Took out "he moved the trump card Strength from number 8 to number 11" because Crowley followed the traditional order; it was Waite who exchanged Strength and Justice, and only the RWS and some of those who follow it have Strenght at 8 and Justice at 11. AlexR 16:52, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Stubs and NPOV?

Umm, why? This is a real Tarot deck that verifiably exists. Whether or not you believe in the reliability of Tarot readings is beside the point - this isn't an article about the truth or falsity of Tarot readings, but about the existence, history and traits of one particular deck. So why the fantasy stub? And for that matter, why the astrology stub? Although both are methods of divination, they are far from identical. Lokicarbis 14:29, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The big update

I hope the new information is both pertinent and accurate; the one thing I am a little unsure of is the use of the Æ character, as it is not present in the deck's instructions or on the card (the Æon) itself. I hope I haven't appeared to take a side in the VIII/XI numbering debate, as I really don't have an opinion on the matter. Ataru 01:28, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thoth deck usage

Just curious, does anyone else use this deck? The Thoth Tarot is my first tarot deck and was just wondering if anyone has had some experience with it. Most people I have spoken to about tarot decks use the Rider-Waite deck or different stylized decks.--Lzygenius 12:31, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Many people do use it, but the Wikipedia is not really a good place to discuss this. I suggest you have a look at aeclectic [1] and especially its forum [2]. Of course there are also many other websites out there where you can find people who work with the Thoth, but I personally like the forum there best. -- AlexR 16:02, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! Those look like good sources.--Lzygenius 14:49, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
