I have just received my new Thoth tarot deck today from my husband, yay! My first one I had about 20 years ago, so I am super rusty with this particular deck. I am ordering the companion book "Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot" by Lon Milo Duquette and the book for the deck by Akron, Hajo Banzhal, Aleister Crowley, Frieda Harris, and Christine M. Grimm called "Crowley Tarot: Handbook to the Cards".

My questions are:
1-do any of you have any pointers for bonding (if that makes sense) with this particular type of deck?
2- any other books or good resources that you could link me to or give me the name and author of?
3- Do you have any tips for using the deck otherwise?

I won't receive the books for a week or so, so I thought I would ask for any information that I could from those who have used the deck or know about the deck :)

Thank you ahead of time :D
