Your Chosen Card – The Aeon Upright Thoth Deck
When upright, the Judgment cards trumpet awakens you to a new phase of existence. Perhaps you are entering a period of rebirth and transformation that will require you to make an important decision. Having heard the call, are you ready to make the necessary changes and set out on the path of rejuvenation and renewal? Redemption requires the acceptance of responsibility for past behavior and a commitment to do things better next time.
Keywords Upright: A calling, awakening from slumber, a new era, judging and being judged, re-assessment, judgment day, reanimation, someone clamoring for your attention, stepping into a new life, a final reckoning, rebirth, resurrection, renewal, a last chance, release from the underworld, being reenergized, rising from the dead, forgiveness, entering another phase of existence, rising from ones ashes, rescue, starting anew, a clean slate.
Key XX: Judgment (Aeon)
Myths/Archetypes: The Last Judgment. The Angel of Resurrection. The Avenging Angel. The phoenix rising from its ashes. Persephone being rescued from the underworld. The Tooth Fairy.

Hebrew letter: Shin or Sin (the two front teeth, ivory; a Hebrew word meaning tooth, sharp; also to sharpen, press, eat, consume, destroy, to sharpen a blade, to say sharp words, to sharpen ones mind; two of something, both, second). The letter Shins appearance in the lex talionis probably accounts for its association with the Last Judgment: ‘ an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth ‘

Book Details
Creative Tarot: Other writers, though, were more interested in the tarot as a narrative tool. Because a tarot spread like the Celtic Cross is essentially a method of storytelling, writers have latched onto the cards as a way of structuring work.
Complete Book of Tarot: While de Gébelin was fabricating his Egyptian fantasies, another French occultist, Jean-Baptiste Alliette, known as Etteilla (his surname spelled backwards), began to write about divining with playing cards. His book, entitled Enjoying the Playing Cards Called Tarot (1783), became an immense success and served to popularize tarot divination throughout France and much of Europe. Unfortunately, Etteilla swallowed de Gébelins fanciful theories hook, line, and sinker, and his popular text did much to promulgate the false idea that ancient Egypt was the origin of the tarot. 11 Nonetheless, tarot divination established a firm foothold in Europe that would last to the present century.
