around after becoming interested in your deck. When I order it, and I will, based on the reviews on aeclectic.net, I will get this book > (amazon link)
http://tinyurl.com/yrmh67"Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot". Just reading the excerpt on amazon changed my view of Crowley. I might even get Crowley's own book on the deck.
I'm really glad you brought this up.
I'm the same when it comes to processing and expressing information. I need a lot of left brain food, and then the creativity takes care of itself. I was in a lovely pottery store last week, and just the visuals of all the artwork got my creative juices flowing.
I would ixna the gummy bears or hello kitty. Those are for kids! ;) After reading about Thoth, I am convinced you will do more than fine. I believe it will open up a brand new horizon for you.
