The Book of Thoth: a Short Essay on the Tarot of the Egyptians - Crowley, Aleister

KORTE INHOUD

Used for many years by students of the occult for study of the tarot and as a key to all Western mystery traditions The Book of Thoth is on the short list of must-have textbooks for modern students of the tarot and esoteric studies. The Tarot is a pictorial representation of the Forces of Nature as conceived by the Ancients according to a conventional symbolism. At first sight one would suppose this arrangement to be arbitrary but it is not. It is necessitated by the structure of the universe and in particular of the Solar System as symbolized by the Holy Qabalah. -Aleister CrowleyThe Thoth Tarot Deck (or Crowley Deck as it is more widely known) is one of the most popular decks in current use. It is also one of the most original interpretations of the tarot incorporating astrological numerological and Qabalistic symbolism. The Thoth Tarot codifies a wealth of wisdom and traditional lore in a suite of 78 miniature paintings of deceptive simplicity. Language: English
