Colors!

I purposefully chose to use Golden Dawn Book T attributes for Arcana Stones, most obviously with the astrological attributions, but also with the titles “Fortitude” and “Universe” instead of the more common “Strength” and “World.” 

 

Golden Dawn color scales are also a major factor in my choice of stones, but that was a lot easier to accomplish than it sounds.  Knowing that Frieda Harris, the artist of the Thoth, was a serious esotericist and carefully followed the color scales as she worked, I simply tried to match stones to the colors of the Thoth.  Why reinvent the wheel?

 

(Not all stones correlate with Thoth colors.  I had other ideas for choosing those stones.  A topic for another post!)

 

Without further ado, here are the stones on their corresponding Thoth cards.
