Understanding Tarot Attributions

Joshua

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.

What information allows to draw the conclusion that HEH = Aquarius ?

Thanks, never read this before -.- . . .

The picture on the Rider-Waite tarot draws an obvious connection between XVII and Aquarius.

That was the exact information you asked about.

It's a direct quote from The Book of the Law, the holy book upon which Thelemic worldview is built upon. The Thoth deck was built by Crowley to stand upon the Thelemic worldview.

Sarcasm never works on the Internet lol. I own the Book of the law(have read it many times) and book of thoth

I got your sarcasm, that's why I said that was the information you asked about. If you already know it, it's odd that you asked, since that's the source for the correct Heh and Tzaddi attributions.

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.
