Hmm... okay, thank you for the heads up Diana.
I was under the impression that all tarot sought out to express the same truths in each card, with there only being minor cultural/what-have-you differences in each one.....
When I read book IV, I hadn't gotten into tarot yet. I remember Don asking Ra if it would be appropriate to remove "such and such" symbol from a card. Is the deck on the LOO that "edited" deck?
It's interesting to me that there are different "effects" of different decks in that way, I had no idea! lol. I would love if someone chimed in perhaps discussing what effect the Rider-Waite deck is supposed to have vs. others, specifically the LOO one.
Is there somewhere where I can read more about this concept of decks differing in intention or effect? I truly thought it was all just preference!! Very cool
Thank you again
edit: I think I understand more what you're trying to say. Ra were the originators of the system of Tarot, and therefore the original Egyptian and especially the corrected LOO cards are less distorted than other decks. And therefore, if one is wanting to study Tarot, using the original Egyptian/corrected LOO images would be more effective especially because the study of the archetypal mind was of primary concern to Ra, while divination was a side thing.... is that about right?
