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

The British-born artist Leonora Carrington (1917–2011) is one of the more fascinating figures to emerge from the Surrealist movement. As both a writer and painter, she was championed early by André Breton and joined the exiled Surrealists in New York, before settling in Mexico in 1943. The magical themes of Carrington’s otherworldly paintings are well-known, but the recent discovery of a suite of tarot designs she created for the Major Arcana was a revelation for scholars and fans of Carrington alike. Drawing inspiration from the Tarot of Marseille and the popular Waite-Smith deck, Carrington brings her own approach and style to this timeless subject, creating a series of iconic images. Executed on thick board, brightly coloured and squarish in format, Carrington’s Major Arcana shines with gold and silver leaf, exploring tarot themes through what Gabriel Weisz Carrington describes as a ‘surrealist object’.
This tantalising discovery, made by the curator Tere Arcq and scholar Susan Aberth, has placed greater emphasis upon the role of the tarot in Carrington’s creative life and has led to fresh research in this area. For this new edition of the Major Arcana deck, Susan Aberth and Tere Arcq have written an insightful essay that outlines Carrington’s life and provides an essential analysis of the divinatory meanings of each of the cards.

Before Aleister Crowley, before Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Colman Smith, before the Golden Dawn, before Papus, Éliphas Lévi, and Etteilla, the first author to describe an occult version of the Tarot was Louis-Raphaël-Lucrèce de Fayolle, comte de Mellet, writing in Antoine Court de Gébelin’s, 1781, eighth volume of his monumental encyclopedia, Monde primitif.
The comte de Mellet associated the Tarot’s trumps with the Classical Ages of Man: the Age of Gold, the Age of Silver, and the Age of Iron. He correlated the Trumps with the letters in the Hebrew alphabet, he described the minor suits in detail, and he provided the earliest discussion of a divination technique for the Tarot.
