Description

An accessible guide to one of the most popular Tarot decks

A classic companion to one of the most popular tarot decks, showing how the tarot symbology mirrors the inner reality of our personal and spiritual path. The seventy-eight cards of the Thoth Tarot were painted by Lady Frieda Harris according to instructions from famed occult scholar Aleister Crowley. The result is a magnificent art deco work rich in Egyptian symbolism, alchemy, and magic and contains kabalistic and astrological attributions. It has become one of the most popular and influential tarot decks ever created.

Tarot: Mirror of the Soul provides an accessible guide to the Crowley/Harris Thoth Tarot. It explores different ways of working Thoth Tarot, guiding your inner exploration, sometimes pointing the way to handle daily situations or difficult decision-making.

The author, Gerd Ziegler, has studied and practiced humanistic and spiritual therapy in-depth. First published by Weiser Books in 1988, his Tarot: Mirror of the Soul remains a widely respected classic on the interpretation of the Crowley/Harris Thoth. This Weiser Classics edition features new, high-quality photographic reproductions of the original card artwork.
