The Thoth tarot (1944) is directly tied to Aleister Crowley, who was also a member of the Order of the Golden Dawn. This deck is attributed to the Kabbalah's influences. It is pretty "dense," divination-wise, and is more esoteric than Rider-Waite-Smith. #WitchyWednesday

Pausing here to say that the Order of the Golden Dawn had a lot of very wealthy members who did culturally appropriate from other faiths and peoples for their benefit. Sometimes, going back to the original means uncovering problematic works. That is part of research. #WitchyWednesday
