Crowley Thoth Tarot Cards Reviews

The Crowley Thoth Tarot, available in Pocket Size or Normal The Thoth Tarot was created by the famous occultist Aleister Crowely (1875-1947). Lady Frieda Harris (1877-1962) painted the cards. Although Lady Harris knew little about Tarot and its symbolism, under the guidance of Crowley she transposed all the subtleties of his ideas into her paintings. Many a card was painted in several versions, until one of them was approved by Crowley. The Crowley Thoth Tarot took over five years to be completed. It was first published in 1969, after the death of both Crowley and Lady Harris. The present edition was produced by utilizing the most advanced techniques of colour separation and printing, thus faithfully reproducing the stunning colours of the original paintings. Aleister Crowley combines the motives of the tarot with the worlds of magic, alchemy, astrology and Kabbala, and with the myths of ancient cultures, especially Egyptian. This deck has an overall 'male' feeling to it with the wide use of geometry, myths and symbols. On the Standard Box The Thoth Tarot was painted by the artist Frieda Harris (1877 - 1962) under the guidance of the famous occult philosopher Aleister Crowley (1875 - 1947).

Today, the Thoth Tarot is one of the most famous tarot decks in the world. For this new edition, the colours of the card images have been matched to the original paintings as faithfully as possible.
