I'm still unsure what Crowley intended to use his Thoth for. I know about the Tree of Life, astrological symbols, and the Aeon thing, but those things just don't seem to create any significance going together. Did he intend to use Thoth only for his personal Magikal ritual?
Also I have understood why the Sword suit is filled with negative interpretation, at least from the Golden Dawn point of view. The mind is an egotistical enemy that blocks the higher self and we have to get rid of it to enter the next stage of consciousness. And the Earth is the strongest element.
7 of Swords seems to have escaped the curse, as envisioned by G.D. I used to call it "sword stealer", which seems Mercurial.
