Thoth tarot
The Thoth Tarot was painted by the artist Frieda Lady Harris under the guidance of the famous
occultist Aleister Crowley. Although Lady Harris knew very little about Tarot and its symbolism,
she transferred all the subtleties into the paintings with great sensitivity. Numerous cards were
painted in several versions until they finally met Crowley’s approval.
For this current new edition, revisions and slight corrections were again made to the image data
in order to best reproduce the fidelity of the original paintings. In addition, single card names
(in some language editions) were corrected and the booklet - with the original interpretive
texts of Aleister Crowley - revised and expanded.
Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) was a world-famous
occultist from England. The author and poet was a long
time member of the Golden Dawn Order and published
during his lifetime numerous writings, including The
Book of Thoth, a detailed interpretation to the Tarot
cards.
Frieda Lady Harris (1877-1962) was a gifted artist.
She was married and had two children. From 1937 she
worked closely with Aleister Crowley until his death. For
the tarot cards she worked into the “Projective Synthetic
Geometry”, which was based among other things on the
teachings of J. W. von Goethe and Rudolf Steiner.
