Understanding Aleister Crowley’s Thoth Tarot: An Authoritative Examination of the World’s Most Fascinating and Magical Tarot Cards by Lon Milo DuQuetteMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is exact kind of book that every time you read it you learn something new.
The author does such a good job of getting you involved with all the detail and meaning that is depicted in this tarot deck. And there is a lot of information and detail here. There’s a brief look into Aleister Crowley, his life, his work, and his belief system. There is information here derived from the Qabalah, Thelema, The Order of the Golden Dawn, Christianity, and a ton of Egyptian Mythology.
There is numerology, Hebrew, color theory, symbolism, naming systems, and quite possibly the meaning of life, the universe, and everything buried here in these cards. And that’s before we even get to the reverse side of the cards!
My brain is still playing around with all of the information even though I’ve settled down to just drawing a daily card and not pondering the mysteries of existence.
