Thoth Tarot by Aleister Crowley

The first publication, published around 1944, was in black and white, until 1969, when the publications appeared in two colours, always maintaining the abstract surrealist style.

Crowley had 3 different images of each arcane drawn so that he could choose one of them personally. Each card is full of symbolism, with many pagan representations. Harris used synthetic Projective Geometry and art deco influences, as well as drawing on Kabbalah, numerology, astrology and knowledge of Egyptian religion. Crowley is known to have roamed the pyramids and been inside them, as well as having been in contact with millenary secret cults.

The deck is inspired by the Egyptian deck, which is why it was also known as the Tarot of Toth, or the cards of Toth. But Aleister Crowley's deck had a more ambitious goal than any deck created up to that time: to be "the mirror of the soul". The names of the arcana already reveal the purpose of these cards to reflect all possible states of the human spirit, and there is a significant change in the interpretation and representation of the major and minor arcana compared to other types of tarot.
