Editing Thoth Tarot (section)

===Order and names of trumps===
Crowley renamed several of the trumps compared to earlier arrangements, and also re-arranged the numerical, [[astrology|astrological]] and [[Hebrew alphabet]] correspondences of 4 trumps compared to the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]]'s inner order deck in accordance with the [[Tarot of Marseilles]], his 1904 book ''[[The Book of the Law]]'' (''Liber AL vel Legis'') and its "New Commentary."{{sfnp|Crowley|1974b|loc=I:57}} In the "New Commentary" and ''The Book of Thoth'', Crowley demonstrates that his trump arrangement forms a double loop in the zodiac-number and letter-number correspondences compared to the Golden Dawn deck, where there is no loop.{{sfnp|Crowley|1974a|p={{pn|date=July 2021}}}}

{{quote|All these old letters of my Book are aright; but [[Tsade|צ]] is not the Star.{{sfnp|Crowley|1987|loc=I:57}} }}

{{quote|Tzaddi is the letter of The Emperor, the Trump IV, and He is the Star, the Trump XVII. Aquarius and Aries are therefore counterchanged, revolving on the pivot of Pisces, just as, in the Trumps VIII and XI, Leo and Libra do about Virgo. This last revelation makes our Tarot attributions sublimely, perfectly, flawlessly symmetrical.{{sfnp|Crowley|1974b|loc=I:57}} }}

{{quote|For The Star is referred to Aquarius in the Zodiac, and The Emperor to Aries. Now Aries and Aquarius are on each side of Pisces, just as Leo and Libra are on each side of Virgo; that is to say, the correction in the Book of the Law gives a perfect symmetry in the zodiacal attribution, just as if a loop were formed at one end of the ellipse to correspond exactly with the existing loop at the other end.{{sfnp|Crowley|1974a|p=10}} }}
