as the template for their cards. Kinda makes it hard to interpret for me. Thoth is very different. For example, the Strength card in Rider Waite is "Lust" in Thoth. It speaks to a much deeper kind of strength.. a more primal kind. Through the years I've gotten used to it. I think I've got probably 30 decks of cards. It's a passion of mine (gryn). I've even got a BDSM deck that someone gifted me with about 20 years ago. Hubby's talked about getting me the Star Trek original series deck, after a coven sib and I used the TNG deck the other night. The one deck I'd like to have, that I don't yet have, is the MotherPeace deck. I love the artwork on it.
