The Book of Thoth
Aleister Crowley's 1944 essay on the tarot, written to accompany the Thoth deck painted by Lady Frieda Harris. Crowley explains the symbolism of each card, its astrological and Qabalistic attributions, and his alterations to traditional Golden Dawn correspondences. It is the essential companion to the Thoth tarot and an important text for understanding Crowley's mature symbolic system.
