Deviations and disputes — Thoth Tarot

Places where the Thoth deck, the Golden Dawn and other traditions disagree, or where this wiki has had to choose.

The Emperor and the Star: Crowley exchanged their letters (Heh and Tzaddi) and paths (15 and 28) on the strength of Liber AL I:57. The Golden Dawn, Waite and almost every later deck keep the Emperor as Heh and the Star as Tzaddi. Both cards keep their signs, Aries and Aquarius, in every system. See the exchange and the double loop.
Adjustment VIII and Lust XI: The Golden Dawn exchanged the numbers of Justice and Strength so that Libra and Leo would follow the zodiacal order of the letters; Crowley kept that. Waite kept the exchange in the numbering but not in his explanation; the Marseille tradition never made it.
Outer planets: Uranus on the Fool, Neptune on the Hanged Man and Pluto on the Aeon are a twentieth-century overlay. Crowley mentions them but 777's primary attributions for the three Mothers are the elements only. This wiki flags them wherever they appear.
Archangels and choirs: Sephirothic archangels vary between sources; this wiki follows the Golden Dawn list (Metatron, Raziel, Tzaphkiel, Tzadkiel, Kamael, Raphael, Haniel, Michael, Gabriel, Sandalphon). Some lists exchange Raphael and Michael between Tiphareth and Hod.
The Shem angels: Two angels per decan, seventy-two in all, are assigned here starting at the first decan of Aries. Other systems begin at a different point or use a different transliteration.
I Ching hexagrams: Crowley's trigram method gives the hexagrams on the court pages. Some commentators report a different hexagram for the Princess of Wands (24 rather than 27); this wiki keeps the result of the method.
Geomantic figures: The figures on the sign pages follow 777's attribution by sign. Agrippa's system attributes by planet, and the two do not always agree.
The Three of Disks: Printed as Works; sometimes written Work.
The four functions: The mapping of suits to Jung's functions (Swords thinking, Cups feeling, Disks sensation, Wands intuition) is an interpretive convention of later writers, not a statement by Jung.
Jung and the tarot: Jung's own remarks on the tarot are few: a 1933 seminar in which he called the cards images of archetypes, a passage in the essay on the archetypes of the collective unconscious, and a 1950s plan, never carried out, to test the tarot alongside the I Ching. Everything beyond that is the work of Jungian tarot writers.
