No, I just pulled Crowley in because both he and Waite were Golden Dawn Society members who based their decks off the same correspondences as in Book T, so there’s some overlap in core meanings. (And I more often read with Thoth decks.) But that was confusing of me since you’re talking about PKT here.

Thank you - you're right, the way you sum it up with care, attention, and the material is very nice. I realise as soon as I approach tarot I fall in the ditch I was in when I discovered it, I see the myriad of things and lose the core meaning. Something I manage more or less not to do in Lenornand. But are you saying you use the book of Thoth with RWS? My (very poorly formulated) post was the result of perplexity as to whether people simply dissed the Book T in favour of the PKT or found them complementary. Ok, writing it down I realise it's something I might as well figure out for myself first 😄 I was simply very perplexed all at once.

It’s been a banner week for me. I received notice that Hexen 5.0 has been shipped and is due to arrive this week. I hadn’t expected it until March or April.

welcome! hope you will enjoy your stay.

Hi. Crowley's Book of Thoth is kinder: For me, there's a core meaning they're all pointing to for 8D about care and attention to detail related to day to day or material things. That can be great, productive, talented, and organized, or we can go get so focused in that we lose sight of the big picture or need everything to be perfect in just the way we imagine, regardless of what others involved might think. There are many ways to decide where a card falls on that spectrum in a reading - reversals - dignity - astrology. I include the latter, but basically read a line of 3 in order left to right and in relation to the question. If it's about a work project and I pull 8D - Tower - 7C, careful organization will go out the window, and instead of trying to rein things in, a more flexible and experimental approach is the better way forward. But if I pull 7C - Tower - 8D then after following too many tangents and the project going pear shaped, Prudence will be the best way to bring order to a chaotic work process. I used to be very worried about the rules for these things. But having received many great readings from people who read in a totally different way than I do over the years, I just think it's a matter of finding a method that works for you and then being consistent with it at least for a while, so you can do readings and see how they come out. You probably do already, but I found journaling helpful. 🙂

The last decan of Aquarius, a decan ruled by Mercury.

Part 2 is up DECAN WALK – AQUARIUS 2, SIX OF SWORDS – Part II – Tabula Mundi Tarot Down here it's hot, and we're moving slowly toward autumn. 🙂 Makes for an interesting decan walk, following along, but I go by the northern hemisphere associations for readings anyway. I'm not so much into astrology timing as I am in what the astrology on the cards was meant to add to the Thoth meanings.

Welcome back @Mi-Shell!

There might be a bout of laziness in my question: I admit that in Book T I went straight to what looked like meanings, so usually the list of words after the flourished description. I found those "lists" interesting though sometimes antithetic terms lost me. The rest was too much for me (qabbalah and astrology). My question is: do you combine those with the PKT or do you keep them strictly apart? For example for the 8 of Pentacles, said to be Lord of Prudence (not negative in my view) Book T seems quite negative about it ("penny wise, pound foolish"). The PKT talks about craftsmanship though possibly in its early stages. @Katrinka here said "Prudence. Measure twice, cut once". I have found many posts recommending the PKT, very few the Book T applied to RWS. Yet former user @timtoldrum mentions how Pamela Colman strictly followed Book T on this one. Someone here said Eden Gray was a PKT lite yet unless I misremember, she goes for apprenticeship. Sometimes it feels like Book T gives the "gist" of it, and the PKT the more mundane, everyday application. I've also seen someone on a private blog using Book T meanings on RWS (including the keywords related to the sephirot (? Not sure)) and it was beautiful and made me look into it (had never heard of Book T prior to that). I'm surprised I don't see that many people refer to it for the RWS. What is your approach? And when "opposing " terms are listed in Book T, do you envisage them as one when well dignified, the other when ill dignified? (I'm still very much studying Lenormand but each time I feel I'm getting closer/better to/at a cartomantic approach, I have the hope to take it to tarot)

Hello @November, how are you? I usually associate The World with orgasm and the representation of ecstasy, pleasure, bliss, delight. I would ask to the consulent: what makes you reach the peak of pleasure? I also see in it the representation of anatomical orifices, but especially the vulva itself. So I would also suggest sensory exploration with regard to touch, stimulation, etc. Other things come to mind: exhibitionism, voyeurism. Dances, performances. Use of cages and enclosures. Group sex, gang bang. I hope this helps!

I rarely do because I see all the cards as a spectrum of experience. That being said, if somehow or another I end up with a reversed card I do pay attention unless they are all reversed in which case I assume I just had my deck upside down,

I got the Tarot of the Orishas 2 years ago - initialy for a friend, areverent of one of our local gospel churches. She also reads Tarot and uses it for spiritual "consultations" She is following one of the Orishas as a deciple. Well, she was NOT amused about my gift and gave me such a BIG "telling to", that I grabbed the offending Iten and crawled away,utterly ashamed of my total ignorance...... I still have no idea, why this deck is sooooo very horrrrrible... ?? Shall I even DARE to open the box -? Or will I just explode into brimstone and ash and splatter all over our new snow??

February is Black History month. This prompts me to get out my Tarot of the Orishas and investigate it.

Thanks Fire cat! I'm in with the Somnia Tarot paired with Spirits of Nature Oracle: Posted 23 hours ago Somnia Tarot, Seven of Wands; Spirits of Nature Oracle, Desert To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. —Sun Tzu It's interesting that the fellow on top of the hill has no sword or cannon, only a shield - his primary interest is defending his stance, not attacking others. The geometric compass on his shield implies wisdom, self-control, and the ability to circumscribe desires within moral boundaries. Standing up for ourselves has nothing to do with dishing dirt on others. If we take that approach, what is important gets lost in the chaos. A Desert is defined as a geographical area that gets 10 inches or less of rain (meaning even the Arctic and Antarctica qualify). Desert suggests that we are in dire need of something (water or warmth). But in the case of self-defense, it can hurt our goal if we get caught by the need to people please, to want others to like us and make us feel worthy, rather than accept our stance.

Welcome to the community @Sonnet Glad you have found us here, love your name! 😀

Thanks to @Morsoth posting the 2026 Lo Scarabeo catalogue I'm looking forward to finally getting the Frazetta Tarot in October. I held myself back when it came out via Kickstarter last year, just to regret it soon after. Any of you who own this deck and feel like whipping up my anticipation?

I am longing for an online tarot community and feel like a lot of spaces have been scattered to the wind. I’m happy to give this one a try. 🙂 Aside from tarot, I like Shakespeare, hobbits, Sondheim, and art.

I always do, and I don't interpret them as negative. Usually in a reading, I will ask what I should do (upright) and what I should be wary of (reversed). And if I ask what the outcome might be, I usually spin the card around without looking, so it may or may not end up reversed. I have no idea if that is a thing you're supposed to do, but it works for me😅
