I drew four cards today, for guidance and advise.
There was no purpose, i just asked for 4 cards which would show me something i needed to know/understand.

I drew them in this order
The Devil
The ace of cups
The princess of wands
The knight/king of wands

The tarot deck used was the Crowley Thoth tarot.

I cannot make much of this combination of cards.

one theory i had:
The princess of wands, and the knight of wands.
Combined with the seed of water (the ace of wands)
Form the devil.

But it does not make much sense, as it is not really guiding or important.
I know the meaning of each card, but i want to know how this set combines, what is the result when trowing these 4 forces together??

lol, the book of toth may be a bit much for the beginner.
I recommend this book
Understanding Aleister Crowley's Toth Tarot
by Lon Milo Duquette
isbn 1-57863-276-5

you can read it a little online

My husband works with this deck, and might I say it is beautiful. The art is incredible as well as the indepth symbolism. Though, I'd say that working with this deck, the best book to use is "The Book of Thoth" by Aliester Crowley. His explainations of each card is incredible. Lon Milo Duquetts's book is very concise and explains the main points, but The book of Thoth seems to broaden on each card. ..but anyways ...Hehhe..sorry I don't mean to ramble.

The devil
The ace of Cups
The princess of wands
The king of wands

I've not had the privilage of working with this deck, so I'm going to give you my interpretations using the Rider Waite.
I'm using the
Devil
Ace of cups
The page of Wands
and the king of Wands

From my interpretations I'd say at the present moment you've been going through a time in which personal torment has been overwhelming in yourself. Seemingly a decision is abound that you've had to make or are pondering. There is a definite contrast in the devil and the ace of cups. Seeing this I percieve it being something like a movement from a dark place to that of a healthier lifestyle. Maybe a change in view of the surrounding enviorment. This exchange in perception would actually bring a part of you from a state of immaturaty or infancy to full fruition. I honestly see this as understanding dominance in yourself. Almost as if you feel that you are not in control of something and feel weak and powerless. The ace of cups stating that with the correct frame of mind and the proper application of your "practices" you'll be able to move beyond a certain state. That being stated by the page of cups, becoming the king.

This is only my interpretation of the cards and I only go by my intuitional vibes as you might say (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif). I haven't done any readings over the internet so, don't judge my expertise if this is way off, trust me I'm better in person. LOL.
