I have neither deck. My interest in tarot at this point is finding the closest Egyptian tarot cards to the ones shown in book IV of the Ra material and try to study the major Arcana of the tarot, as instructed by Ra and expanded on elsewhere in this forum. However, once I get through studying that, my next deck I am thinking of studying is the Thoth tarot. Beautiful and unique artwork, packed with depth and symbolism, it seems like the Thoth tarot has much substance. I am worried however, about the possibility that study of the Thoth tarot MAY be an unhealthy practice, simply because Ra himself said Aleister Crowley was a rather unhealthy man...
Other cool tarot decks which interest me:
Voyager, Manga, Sasuraibito, Fountain, Tarot of the Sweet Twilight, Mystical Manga, Tarot Illuminati, the Steampunk tarot and purely for the art: the XIII tarot.
Also, purely for the fanboy in me: the Legends of Zelda tarot, also, somebody on DeviantART made a set of major and minor arcana SSB tarot that if I could prin t them into actual cards would be pretty sweet to add to a collection.
Also, the Shibitosuu Oracle Divination set looks cool, but it's in Japanese. Still, could be a way to learn more about their Kanji. That's pretty cool.
Ultimately though, I think studying Egyptian tarot as laid out by Ra and on this forum is the best start, and contains PLENTY of depth to it!
Also, studying the traditional Rider-Waite deck is useful since so many use it. But the Egyptian tarot seems like the best idea to start off. In my opinion. Just cause it's recommended by Ra to study the major arcana and the Egyptian ones carry the least distortion from what Ra originally introduced.
