Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisThe occult classic study of the tarot and as a key to all Western mystery traditions. Used for many years by students of the occult for study of the tarot and as a key to all Western mystery traditions, The Book of Thoth is on the short list of must-have textbooks for modern students of the tarot and esoteric studies. "The Tarot is a pictorial representation of the Forces of Nature as conceived by the Ancients according to a conventional symbolism. At first sight one would suppose this arrangement to be arbitrary, but it is not. It is necessitated by the structure of the universe, and in particular of the Solar System, as symbolized by the Holy Qabalah."--Aleister Crowley The Thoth Tarot Deck (or "Crowley Deck" as it is more widely known) is one of the most popular decks in current use. It is also one of the most original interpretations of the tarot, incorporating astrological, numerological, and Qabalistic symbolism. The Thoth Tarot codifies a wealth of wisdom and traditional lore in a suite of 78 miniature paintings of deceptive simplicity., Now a classic in the field, used by students of the Golden Dawn as well as by those who want to understand Crowley's tarot. This is the definitive study of the Egyptian tarot and is used as a key to all Western mystery disciplines. Color plates of eight cards.

  • Book of Thoth

    Yes it is a hard read, in that my mind wants to discuss on specific card and be done with it. That’s not how the author thinks. He first explains how the card came to be, then what all the individual drawings, markings mean, and then further along in the book what the can signifies. He never states that if you draw this card, what the answer to your question is. However; buy the book. Finally, I understand what the cards really signifies. Because, this is not a one card read, but a combination of the overall read, you really need the originator or the entire deck to explain and define their meanings. I have four now five books dealing with the Thoth Tarot; I need them all.

  • Wonderful Content

    I've used this book a few times and enjoy the detailed explanations used. They fit quite well with the situation in question. I have read the whole book, but looks like an immense amount of mystical information available.
