Description

Originally published in 2003, Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot has proved to be the essential guide to accessing the unique symbolism and meaning of Aleister Crowley's remarkable tarot deck along with the deeply textured artwork of Lady Frieda Harris. Crowley authority Lon Milo DuQuette starts by providing an insightful historical background before delving into descriptions of each card in depth, from a tarot perspective and from an expanded, magickal point of view. He first describes the tarot meaning of each card in detail and then explains all the other attributions Crowley intended. This unique guide has been updated with a new introduction that provides information on the unicursal hexagram cards included with the deck but never explained. Replaces ISBN 9781578632763… (more)

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,
