Ritual tips

• This fixed layout comes from a later Thoth deck booklet as a simplified Opening of the Key method; it is not a spread printed in The Book of Thoth.
• Read Cards 1–3 first, compare 4/8/12 with 13/9/5, then add the two lower triplets.
• Read each triplet as one sentence before comparing elemental relationships between groups.
