Which of the three Magus' to keep? The Magus as Mercury is Thoth, and he is the Juggler or Trickster. He is communication, the Word, the Will or Thelema, as the Higher Self. http://supertarot.co.uk/major-arcana/magician.htm
@XXXREDROOMXXX The Magus is the Exorcist. I think Crowley is making the point that without Consciousness or spirituality, the Word is not enough (sounds like a Bond film...)
I've been learning Tarot using the Thoth. I started with a deck I'm not even sure of the name of. When I started reading, I realized most literature was based on the RW deck, so I got one and use it a bit. The more I learned the more I was drawn to the Thoth. So I got one, and I love it. I intend to stay with it.
And I've been watching your videos.
When I opened mine, I picked the Magus card I liked (I got 3). But I chose a different one.

@kt00000000 You do not have to, as long as pick only one. The other two are rejects. Good you are enjoying the Thoth Tarot!

Why do you HAVE to pick the one you show?
