    About this ebook

    Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot was his final opus, the culmination of a lifetime of occult study and practice. With artist Lady Frieda Harris, he condensed the core of his teaching - astrology, Qabbalah, magick, gematria and numerology, and alchemy- into the 78 cards of the tarot. Although Crowley's own Book of Thoth provides insight into the cards, it is a complicated, dated book.

    What has been missing, and what Crowley authority Lon Milo DuQuette has created, is an introductory text for the deck. In clear language, DuQuette provides everything you need to know about Crowley's fundamental principles to get the most out of using the Thoth deck.

    Many use the deck simply because the artwork is so beautiful, but there is so much more to it than that. DuQuette starts with the basic historical background of this extremely popular deck before delving into descriptions of each card in depth, from both a purely tarot perspective and from an expanded, magickal point of view. Each card is described in detail regarding its straight tarot meaning, which is then expanded upon with all the other attributions Crowley intended.

    This unique guide will be of great interest to all tarot readers who use the Thoth Tarot- especially those looking for correspondences with other occult systems to enhance their readings- and will be treasured by students of Aleister Crowley's works.

      Great as walk-through and support for the ponderous Book of Thoth.
      Lon is great at unfolding the often cryptic writings of uncle Al.. A door opening to get to grips with the original and then find your own way into it.
      This is true of all of the author books in my opinion..
      Essential I dare say..
    • 5/5
      Anything more would be over-kill - this book is all you need on the Thoth deck.
    • 4/5
      This is an ok intro to Crowley's deck, less obfuscation than in Weird Uncle Al's book, but not much elucidation. I was disappointed in its lack of clarification and revelatory info. Definitely not the authoritative examination its title claims to be. Nice to hear so much more about Frieda Harris, the artist.

      This is not only a good introduction to his Tarot Deck, its a great introduction to Crowley's thought and philosophy. In order to understand the former, you need the latter and the author is a well known authority (plus a really funny guy when you get to meet him!).
