Undertaken in 1938 and completed in 1943, this deck combines Aleister Crowley's inspired ideas on restructuring the traditional pictorial symbolism of the ancient wisdom of the tarot. With Lady Frieda Harris's color-drenched Art Deco interpretations clarifying and augmenting Crowley's intricate esoteric theories under his instruction. That is to say that the Thoth deck adds Crowley's intensive understanding of the occult with brilliant illustration to expand upon the original tarot, as he instructed within the Book of Thoth.
In this premier edition of the Thoth Tarot deck you will find 80 cards measuring 2 3/8" and 4 3/8", including Lady Frieda Harris's three versions of The Magus card, a spread sheet that illustrates for you how to use the Thoth Tarot deck in the ancient 10 card spread, and a 48-page instruction booklet by James Wasserman, which includes two essays by Lady Frieda Harris and commentary by Stuart R. Kaplan.
