Crowley retained the Golden Dawn reversal of Strength and Justice, using it to justify his reversal of Star and Emperor in one system. He did restore the Roman numeral sequence to the Trumps in the Thoth Deck, but treated the cards as though the sequence for purposes of correspondence on the Tree of Life and in Astrology was that of the G.'.D.'. switch of Justice and Strength + his new switch of Star and Emperor. There is a three-loop diagram in the middle of _Book of Thoth_ to illustrate this. 93 93/93 Bill Heidrick
