The Book of Thoth Tarot Deck
Designed by Aleister Crowley
Painted by Lady Frieda Harris
-
This is the beautifull and powerfull deck that this site is all about.
It comes in 2 different sizes:
The larger version is slightly oversized compared to most other tarot-deck's but it's really nice to work with.
However it requires a lot of space to do a layout with more than a few cards and this has to been taken into
consideration before buying this set. This set is especially well suited for meditation and ritual use.
The smaller version has about the same size as most other tarot-deck's and is a little more handy in use.
It seems like amazon currently only has the larger deck :-(

The Book of Thoth
by Aleister Crowley a.k.a. The Master Therion
-
Written by the creator of the deck, this book is a must for those interested
in The Book of Thoth tarot.
This book can be a little difficult to read and can very well be suplemented
with other books on the subject.

Promethea
by Alan Moore
-
Lots of Thoth deck imagery & very interesting & wonderful!
Corrina (tansyfaerie@hotmail.com)
Any/Everyone here could learn a lot from it- the author Alan Moore is an occultist of the Thelemite tradition, so we gotta support him! If that ain't enough, the art is absolute milky-brilliance. J. H. Williams III is probably the best artist going these days.

There is a small section on reverse meanings.
He gives 17 spreads and rates them in order of

After that get The Crowley Tarot Handbook

I would consider these 3 the trilogy on

The Crowley Tarot Handbook
The Handbook to the Cards
by Akron and Hajo Banzhaf
-
This book has already been reviewed, but I felt more
needed to be said. I've been a student of the Tarot
for 15 years, turning to Crowley about 5 years ago. Of
all the books on the cards, and specifically the
Harris/Crowley cards, this is the best book I have ever
read. I try to combine the knowledge I have gathered
from all my books along with personal experiences of
the cards... this book contains so much information it
is going to take me years to include it in my internal
database!

Each card is described relating to inner
experience, career and relationships. The symbols on each card is
described.

The Tarot Handbook
Practical Applications of Ancient Visual Symbols
by Angeles Arrien
-
The best current book on the Thoth Tarot was found with a posting on
this site. The book was found in England at the "Book Warehouse"
and shipped to me by an English gentlemen and tarot reader. I can recommend
it highly. It is a must have.
Col. Gerard Ham (colham@server1.iop.com)

Crowley's Thoth deck. It is an inspirational tool for
self analysis and meditation.

Tarot of Ceremonial Magick
A Pictorial Synthesis of Three Great Pillars of Magick
(Astrology, Enochian Magick, Goetia)
by Lon Milo DuQuette
-
Based upon the qabalistic and magical fundamentals of
the Book of Thoth and Crowley’s Thoth deck, high
ranking O.T.O. initiate Lon Milo DuQuette explains in
his ground-breaking book the symbology of the cards in
his Tarot of Ceremonial Magick, a deck published by
U.S. Games and now a book-deck package also form U.S.
Games The concept is a breakthrough for occultists of
all paths. Each card is illustrated with a list of the
Zodiacal, Enochian, Qabalistic, Goetic, Tattvic and
Elemental components. DuQuette explains how the cards
relate to each other and makes immediately accessible
the more difficult conceptual connections that Crowley
made so easily. Through DuQuette’s wit and decades of
practical knowledge of magical practice, students of
the arcane arts can gain a whole new level of
understanding of how and why magic works.

The Mystical Quabalah
by Dion Fortune
-
The Mystical Quabalah is Dion Fortunes most famous book. It presents
a thorough explanation of the Tree of Life and provides a key to the
practical working of the mystical system.
The Quabalah, whose disciplines include the occult sciences of
astrology and tarot, forms the basis of the Western Mystery Tradition. It
is a system of mystical knowledge and spiritual devel-opment in the same
way that Yoga is the mystical system of the East. The Tree of Life- a
diagram consisting of ten cirlcles con-nected by twenty-two 'paths'- is the
heart of Quabalistic teaching. It is a cosmic diagram; the blueprint of
the universe and the human being, containing within itself a description of
all possible relationships and all phenomena.

The Tarot Book
Basic Instruction for Reading Cards
by Jana Riley
-
Contains a good balance of "How" and "Why" the Tarot
works. Written in simple easy to understand terms. I
like her explanation of Archetypes and Synchronicity,
and how the whole system works to provide a divination.
Her approach is unique and refreshing. She ties
everything in to modern psychology. You can tell she
has studied things alot. Uses Thoth Deck for a basis.
Includes some spreads. A good general overview of the
whole Tarot system, in easily understood language. A
very good introductory book. Check it out.

New Age Tarot
Guide to the Crowley Thoth Deck
by James Wanless
-
Although it is quasi New Age (Aeonic???) it concentrates on the symbolism
of the cards not from the esoteric or thelemic view but from a more jungian/archtype
perspective.
It was originally published in the 80s, (I had an originally first printing
I got from Herman at the Magickal Childe when I was in NY, but foolishly
let it disappear into chaos). However, it has been reissued in two versions.
