Klappentext

Aleister Crowley's instructions for the Thoth tarot have been faithfully rendered in this beautiful collector's deck with brand-new artwork, presented in a sleek lidded box with accompanying guide.

The Thoth tarot deck was conceived by famous occultist Aleister Crowley who made remarkable innovations to the traditional deck. Rich in astrological, numerological and Egyptian symbolism, it encapsulates a very life-affirming philosophy, helping readers to expand their horizons and find joy and direction on their life.

This new deck and vibrantly illustrated guidebook has been created by respected occult writer Tania Ahshan in collaboration with illustrator Paula Zorite. Together they have interpreted Crowley's vision of the tarot for a modern reader, with beautiful rainbow-hued card illustrations and clear instructions on how to read them based of Crowley's The Book of Thoth. It also includes an insightful forward by Mogg Morgan who examines Crowley's departure from classic card interpretations and the reasons behind them.

The Aleister Crowley Tarot can be used for divination, to gain greater insight into your spiritual journey, or to use in magickal ritual. As you work with the cards over time, you will connect to not just Crowley's thoughts on the pack, but also your own insights garnered through open-minded practice.

Includes:
• A 78-card Deck
• A 128-page illustrated book
