Understanding Tarot Attributions
-
In some sources (Liber Theta, Liber 776 1/2), XVII is given as "Aquarius", but in the Book of Thoth XVII is given as Aries(but both give XVII as HEH).
I was wondering why this distinction was made/corrected from Crowley's, or is there intentional deception going on at one end or the other?

The tables in the back of The Book of Thoth are screwed up in various small ways, abnd there are numerous typos throughout the book. It was possibly his lead proofread book.

"All these old letters of my Book are aright; but צ is not the Star. This also is secret: my prophet shall reveal it to the wise."
"Thanks, never read this before -.- . . .
The picture on the Rider-Waite tarot draws an obvious connection between XVII and Aquarius.

Yes, but that didn't address the OP's question about why different publications that are based on the "Tzaddi is not the star" verse have different zodiac correspondences listed.
