The Book of Thoth: Egyptian Tarot (2017 edition) is a seminal occult text by Aleister Crowley, paired with the visionary Thoth Tarot deck painted by Lady Frieda Harris between 1938 and 1943. Originally published in 1944, this edition preserves Crowley’s exhaustive exploration of tarot as a map of cosmic consciousness, reinterpreting the traditional 78-card deck through the lens of Thelema, his esoteric philosophy.

Crowley’s prose dissects each card’s symbolism—linking the Major Arcana to the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, astrology, and Egyptian mythology—while Harris’s intricate, modernist illustrations breathe life into his theories. The deck’s radical departures (e.g., The Lust card replacing Strength, The Aeon supplanting Judgment) reflect Crowley’s belief in tarot as a living system, evolving with humanity’s spiritual awakening.

A fusion of art and mysticism, this volume remains essential for occultists and tarot enthusiasts, offering keys to divination, meditation, and the pursuit of True Will.

For practitioners of: Thelemic ritual, comparative mysticism, or Jungian archetype studies.
