Publisher's Synopsis
Aleister Crowley's Book of Thoth endures as one of the most definitive volumes on the tarot ever written. This classic text describes the philosophy and use of Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot, a deck designed by Crowley and painted by Lady Frieda Harris. The Thoth Tarot has become one of the bestselling tarot decks in the world. It is, also, one of the most original interpretations of the tarot, incorporating astrological, numerological, Egyptian and Qabalistic symbolism. While there are many other useful guides to this famous tarot deck, there are no others that explain the deck in its designer's own words. This is a facsimile of the Weiser hardcover edition of THE BOOK OF THOTH published in 1971, featuring "remastered" full-colour plates depicting eight of the original tarot-card images. "The Book of Thoth is an indispensable companion to the deck and the most authoritative and reliable guide to the Tarot in the New Aeon." -Hymenaeus Beta, Frater Superior, O.T.O.
