But first: Dr Crowley and Lady Harris ~
Here's a handful of cards (yours and mine included, Missy Node )
I liked some of the colors in the old deck better for some cards, and I liked some cards better in the new deck.....
Both the decks I have were made in Belgium.

So here we go -- card backs:

And the Unicursal Hexagram:

My deck @1996 US Games w/ the lavender box. No Uni-Hex, but it does have the 3 Magus. I find them pale, and wan. Love reading about Crowley. TOOL Band exposed me to him and his writing. Learning his deck was an invaluable tool

Don't get me wrong I love the deck [Thoth] it is brilliant, used it exclusively for almost 3 years.

Damn these stupid $%#^()*^ text boxes anyway!!! I just wrote a big old dissertation, clicked Submit, but forgot my password and it blanked everything out..... grrrrrrr ):-[

Anyway, Mme M..... hmmmm that puts me in mind of Disney's Sword in the Stone, one of the BEST cartoon sequences EVER -- the Wizard's Duel between Merlin and Mad Madam Mim!!!

I pointed you to that Neptune the Terrible thread to pull up that Kabbalistic graphic, and lo and behold -- you have it saved to your hard drive!!!
By now I should expect no less -- thy Pisces Moon radar/telepathy is functioning at Optimum ;-)

I’ve saved some Navajo designs to my hard drive to work with at some point – I love geometric patterns (see the one on this page: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum18/HTML/000465-5.html )

And I've wanted to work with polymer clay for awhile now, and paint some designs similar to these:

p.s. color is emotional right fellow Pisces Mooner? Don't you get a different feel from the cards you just posted? Just from the color? Why did you buy the second deck?

Why did I buy the 2nd Thoth deck?? Disorganization. Time (ie lack of). Impulsiveness. (WHAT?? Mars in the 1st Impulsive?? Never!! )
Backstory: I moved here to MN in 1997. Basically I took the opportunity the Universe presented to get me and CJ away from the ex, and threw everything willynilly into boxes and then into the U-Haul and drove 1800 miles like a bat outa hell without looking back. A few years ago I really had a yen to work with the tarot again, but hadn't found my old deck (there are boxes still unpacked in the basement) so I just bought a new one.....

"A different feel from the cards I just posted"?? Yeah -- I like the colors in the "old" deck (on the left in all the pics here) for the Heirophant, but the colors in the new deck seem more vibrant in most (but not all) the cards. The Mars in Gem card "Cruelty" seems quite a bit different -- I'll post it in a minute so you can see.....

and Ametrine,

-- lovely choices, but unless I enjoy extraordinary success at Lotto, these are gems out of all but my wildest dreams :-D That's one reason I work with *semi*precious stones, so my work is not totally out of the price range of normal workin’ people like meself..... I only have a couple small trinkets with my birthstone (opal) -- feels lovely to wear even though it's so fussy to keep.....
I have some raw opal from somewhere in the Southwest -- dunno where, the fella who dug it keeps his mine a secret. Still have it bottled in water so it don't dry out and crack -- but maybe someday I or someone I meet will have the skills to work with it.....
