Art Deco and Art Nouveau are 2 of my favourite art genres. This is what drew me to the deck back in the 80’s but I had so many problems trying to actually see all of the elements within the images. I’ve often wondered if the original artwork was actually more vivid and has faded over time. I like these new renditions for their more accessible images although nothing will ever replace my attachment to the original.

Check out Marea Tarot, it's a beautiful [inclusive] Thoth based deck.

@@missalpha_essence3926 That looks beautiful!

@MyraM333 I spent the day with mine yesterday. I love the fact that it is an inclusive deck. I'm so in love. I hope we continue to have more Thoth in this way. I could use more detail, but hell yea!

Every version brings a little something more to our understanding in my opinion. Thank you for your lovely feedback, it’s very much appreciated.

I agree it makes the Thoth images a lot clearer and is a great introduction to the system. Enjoy your journey lol.

Nice to meet another 🇬🇧 I’m so happy you like my videos x

Hi there and thank you so much for your sub - it means a lot. I have just received a Make Playing cards order of a Thoth that’s Borderless and recoloured. I’ve filmed a walkthrough and first impressions which I will upload in the next few days.

This deck does have the keywords. They're at the bottom of the cards tomthe right of the number and suit.

@@avalonianwanderer2876 Nice! I missed that on my, apparently too small, smartphone screen.

Well tbh nothing will ever come close to the original, it’s a masterpiece x

So true. Also, at one point in time I had read that Crowley had instructed Lady Frieda Harris to incorporate subliminal suggestions in the artwork of the original paintings. Presumably to assist the reader in picking up on deeper meanings within them. Assuming this is true, I am wondering if this concept has been omitted from this new deck. Just another aspect which would concern me. Thank you for sharing this as until now I was not aware of this new deck’s existence.

@@roseb.6771 thank you for highlighting this information I learn all the time 📖

Yes there’s certainly divided opinions about it. I like the clarity of the images too and it has helped me see the original Thoth by comparing them.

Yes I realised where the arrow is when I rewatched my video 😂

@@SuniqueTarot 😂🙏🏻💛

I love my Thoth originals too it’s just sometimes difficult for me to see the finer details in the images which is such a shame as Lady Frieda’s artwork is sublime. I have filmed a walkthrough of a Make Playing Cards version which is Borderless and recoloured that may be of interest - uploading it soon.

This following quote is from a Thoth Facebook group and I’m definitely going to go sometime this year. Have you ever wondered where you can see the original watercolour paintings of the Thoth Tarot, created by Aleister Crowley and Frieda Harris? They are housed at the Warburg Institute in London, UK, as part of the Yorke Collection, gifted by Crowley's close associate Gerald Yorke. The paintings are available for viewing! To access them, visit the Library Rare Books and Manuscripts at Stewart House, located at 32 Russell Square, London. The books are available to all readers, while the manuscripts are restricted to academic researchers with prior permission. Please contact the Warburg Library at warburg.library@sas.ac.uk or ask at the Reading Room enquiries desk for assistance.

@@SuniqueTarot thank you. I may try to stop in, the next time I‘m in that neck of the woods. 😊 It has been an interest of mine to research what Lady Harris was trying to do with her projective geometry, and it turns out there are connections with Rudolf Steiner and anthroposophy, which is still popular in Europe today…

It’s all down to personal taste really. Some may like it others not. I’m 50/50 atm until I’ve played with it for awhile.

@@SuniqueTarot thanks a lot and I was feeling same, you just confirmed, thanks a lot for quick response.

@@SuniqueTarot Thank you so much! I have read with Freda's deck for about 20 years. I look forward to this one.

I would love to see the originals before time took its toll and the watercolours faded.

The original can be so difficult to make out everything which is a shame so this is a great alternative x

I don't know maybe I shouldn't have written that I guess I feel like the Crowley/Harris deck does not need to be changed or adapted.

The original will always be the one I gravitate towards and I would love to have seen the original unfaded images.

😂 nothing will ever replace the original for me but I do find these renditions interesting.
