Why is there three cards for the magician in the Thoth Tarot? How do you select one to use apart from just randomly/instinctively?

As far as I'm aware the woman who illustrated the cards for crowley created the three variations and he liked all three and had them included in the set of cards.

And there's nothing wrong with using your instinct. Look at the three magus cards and pick the one that appeals to you the most, and use the other two as book marks in the guide book (or other magical instruction book you may have. That's what I did.

Honestly,the best way is to pick the one you are drawn to.Your choice will tell you much of yourself.
I think 2 cards are Magus and ine is Magician.
I personally went for the "Horus" Magus card. Illustrating all the tools in the Magus' hand as opposed to floating within reach.Im a hands on kind of Magus.Plus I dig the big etheric bear surrounding him...

Do what thou wilt.
