Permissions
Although I have received, over several years, courteous replies from the O.T.O., owners of the Thoth Tarot copyright, I have been unable to receive permission to use the Thoth Tarot images in this work.
It is impractical to use a clone version of the deck, given the detail I have provided in the text for specific symbols within every individual card. I trust readers will have their own Thoth Tarot deck to hand as they reference this book or use any of the innumerable images of the deck online.
I have also provided a mailing list for distribution of supporting images and graphics for the book.

The Tarot is an Atlas of, and Guide Book to, the Universe. It has been my daily study since Feb. '99, and my researches have cost me several thousand pounds.
I have long determined to construct a pack embodying all the new knowledge gained from Anthropology, Comparative Religion, & so forth.
Lady Harris offered to execute the cards from my designs. It was agreed that I should have a 2/3 share in the venture.
From my rough sketches & descriptions, under my continual inspection, subject to my constant correction - I made her do some cards over again 5, 6 even 8 times in one case - she made the set now on show at the Berkeley Galleries. (There is one exception: the card numbered I was not shown to, or authorized by, me. I suspect a trick in this.)
She has damaged the property by offering it for sale at cost price, thus alienating the libraries & booksellers, and reducing my 2/3 interest to nil.
I value the copyright at something like 20000. (A crude, vilely drawn & coloured, ignorant, inferior pack, published in 1902 or thereabouts, has sold over 1000 copies every year since then at 15/- a copy. I am quite sure that these admirable cards, with my book on the subject, which was to go with them in an ornamental box, would bring in far more annual receipts. I have a large following in U.S.A.they send me 50 a month or more - which is growing rapidly.
Extract of letter from Aleister Crowley to his solicitor, Isidore Kerman, July 9, 1942.
Introduction
I invoke thee, I A O, that thou wilt send H R U, the great Angel that is set over the operations of this Secret Wisdom, to lay his hand invisibly upon these consecrated cards of art, that thereby we may obtain true knowledge of hidden things, to the glory of thine ineffable Name. Amen.
The Thoth Tarot is a complex deck designed by a complex man and illustrated in a complex style by a complex woman over a period of five years during which raged a second world war. It illustrates a complex philosophy, a unique political and psychological perspective, a new religion, wide-ranging mysticism and decades of magical practice. It was created towards the end of the complex life lived during a complex time and written about by the author, Aleister Crowley, in a complex manner.
The Thoth Tarot is a complex tarot.
In this book, I aim to distil that complexity in the clearest way possible from a study of the deck and its use over thirty-five years. I have also drawn upon my own experience where it parallels Crowleys life and magick, such as travelling in Egypt or performing the Sacred Magick of Abramelin the Mage.
Where applicable, I have used personal studies of Crowleys original manuscripts, diaries and journals held in archives around the world. These reveal a wealth of additional sources through unpublished writings such as the Invocation of Hoor (1904) and unmentioned side-notes or annotation. Together, these materials place his life and work into a fuller context.
There are already several significant biographies of Crowley, which I will reference and suggest in order of personal preference. There are several academic works on his place in society and his politics, which I will also reference. I do not present in this book a fully detailed account of his life, in favour of these existing biographies, but rather highlight aspects of his life and work which are most significant to his Tarot.
I feel it is important to attempt a basic understanding of Crowleys Thelemic philosophy, and apply this whilst interpreting the deck, rather than remove him from the very deck he designed. To that end, we will look at Thelema, the Aeons, and ancient Egyptian myth as we unpack the deck. We may also find ourselves in the upper echelons of eschatology and mathematics, as much as we delve into the depths of sexual magick and kabbalah. Strap yourselves in!
You are about to discover that the secrets of the Thoth Tarot are the secrets of a complex and powerful magick - a magick that can be used on your table in every reading - and one that can change the way you see and act in the world.
We will first take a brief look at the tarot itself and Crowleys thoughts on the deck and divination in general.

The Tarot
The Thoth Tarot is one of several thousands of tarot decks. The tarot is a set of seventy-eight cards structured in forty cards numbered Ace to Ten in four Suits; Pentacles (Coins, Discs), Swords, Cups and Wands (Staves); sixteen cards arranged in four Ranks in each Suit; Page, Knight, Queen and King and twenty-two Major Arcana. The cards arose in this pattern, named tarrochi and later tarot , in Italy during the mid-15 th Century and in the 18 th Century became conflated with ancient Egyptian mysteries, occultism and fortune-telling.
