Aleister Crowley Tarot Book & Card Deck
$ 23.99
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.
Born in Leamington Spa in 1875, Aleister Crowley was an only child who had a great deal of attention lavished on him by his parents. His father was born a Quaker, but converted to the Exclusive Brethren a subsection of the Plymouth Brethren, so religion played a big part in his early life. Sadly, his father died when he was only 11 and it seemed to send the boy off in a new direction.
Crowley embarked on a lifelong investigation into the dark arts, turning himself into a cult figure who defied convention and is still famous in the modern world.
