The Book Of Thoth is now a classic in the fields of both Tarot and Esoteric Studies. It is used by students of the Golden Dawn as well as those who want to understand Crowley's Thoth tarot. The Book of Thoth brings into focus the ancient Hermetic tradition behind tarot cards. This is the definitive study of the Egyptian tarot and is used as a key to all Western mystery disciplines. Crowley explores medieval symbolism and ancient Kabbalistic tradition using the Tarot as a framework. Color plates of eight cards are also included.
Crowley's writing is complex and unique, and serious students will find the depth of this book invaluable, both in understanding Tarot and in working with the symbols and archetypes as a whole. This is not a book for dabblers, but for serious students. If you are looking for a Thoth Tarot 301 book, describing the meanings and magical significance of each card in the Thoth Deck, this is it.
