Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot no.1
The Thoth
Tarot, also known as the Crowley Thoth Tarot, is an esoteric tarot
deck painted by Lady Frieda Harris according to instructions from the
legendary British occultist Aleister Crowley1. This unique deck features Art Deco
imagery and is considered one of the most multi-layered and distinctive
Tarot decks in existence.
Key Features of the Thoth Tarot:
- Collaboration: The Thoth Tarot was created by artist Frieda
Harris under the guidance of Aleister Crowley, who referred to this
deck as The Book of Thoth.
- Symbolism: While still a classic Tarot deck, the Thoth
Tarot incorporates mystical Kabbalah and astrological
symbolism, demanding deeper study to fully grasp the hidden meanings
within each card.
- Major Arcana: The Thoth Tarot includes cards such as The Fool, The
Magus, The Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor, The Hierophant, The
Lovers, The Chariot, Adjustment (Justice), The Hermit, Fortune, Lust
(Strength), The Hanged Man, Death, Art (Temperance), The Devil, The Tower,
The Star, The Moon, The Sun, Aeon (Judgement), and The Universe2.
- Minor Arcana: The deck also contains four suits: Wands, Cups,
Swords, and Disks (Pentacles), each with its own set of cards representing
various aspects of life and consciousness.
The
Thoth Tarot remains a powerful tool for those who seek to explore the depths of
symbolism, mysticism, and self-awareness through Tarot readings.
