The Thoth deck is full of brilliant colors and fascinating designs and symbolism. However, an awful lot of the symbols are extremely Euro-centric (with some Egyptian overtones) and even Christian/Satanic in design and origin. Perhaps this is not surprising considering that Crowley's occult circles were at least dabbling in what some consider the darker side of occultism. While it's a beautiful deck to have in a collection, I personally find many of the cards to be too disturbing to want to use them in any readings.
