I’m sure the people that read this post and are looking for further research into the Thoth Tarot will certainly find this useful.

I wonder if you or anyone else has thought of The Judgement card to represent arranged marriages?

Great insight into the card! Based on your description of the readings, I do think it’s possible that Judgement could represent this. Even the name of the card suggests “…actions being judged and decisions made (and in the case of this reading, covertly and by other people)”.

The Judgement card has always struck me as being a bit like a Don in the Mafia. He sits in his lofty position (think Rider Waite imagery) and makes Judgements and decisions that affect the lives of others. However we choose to view this card, Judgements, especially those that can be enforced, has worldly power behind it.

I know this card is often thought of as being very Spiritual, but for the most part, when this card appears in readings for other people, it signifies worldly (Courts etc.) power.

I’m not religious but the Sermon on the Mount ( a brilliant oration ) is applicable here.

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

The “free association” technique combined with Tarot knowledge can be so personal and powerful.

I’d love to hear more about The Thoth Tarot and any intended location associations.

Crowley’s Thoth Tarot describes the quadrants of the Aces, and I used them as the basis of the meditations in Tarot and the Magus. I think the GD mentions them too.

Since the primary attributions of the tarot cards is from astrology (not Kabbalism), you also have access to the placements of height, direction, distance, and type of place (among other things), that are found in horary astrology. I have a not particularly inspiring section on horary astrology on Supertarot, so once you have gone through your own free association, you can see how much corresponds to the traditional system.

You might also like to consider that as the esoteric Greenwich Meridian runs through the Great Pyramid, it also controls time, so that you really have the matrix of time and space at your fingertips.
