Summary

DuQuette explains the varied symbolism and correspondences -- Qabalistic, astrological, numerological, etc. -- of each card in detail, with wit and clarity. More than just another tarot "cookbook" with rote explanations and meanings of the individual cards, Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot is both a valuable guide to the esoteric meanings of the cards and a look at the deck as it fits in with Crowley's system of Magick. This book is a new and valuable resource for anyone working with the Thoth Tarot deck. Book jacket.
