Unique Thelemic Art, Literature and Artefacts.

Our new set of essays within which we analyze Aleister Crowley's Tarot deck began in January. Against our better and more reserved judgment, we decided that a new analysis of Crowley's Thoth Tarot Deck is long overdue. Crowley was a truly brilliant man; his mind was encyclopedic, and his knowledge was vast. This has made the comprehension of his own analysis of the deck in 'The Book of Thoth' inaccessible without a solid background in Kabbalah, mythology general science and history. So, (and God alone can save me from my own ambition sometimes), I decided to write an analysis that contains the essential elements of knowledge for understanding of the deck.
The sources upon which I have called over many years in my own occult education, and which I rely on for this exposition span a huge range of literature. I will in time post a bibliography. Please bear in mind that these items are being written extempore, and that much revision and re-writing will occur over the months. Almost without exception, what you see in these early drafts are my spontaneous outpourings as I view each card.
Doubtless, some errors and distortions will creep in from time to time. Also doubtless, there will be disagreement over some of my interpretations which will result in lively and fruitful discourse. So please join us and contribute your opinions, observations, fair criticisms and anything else that adds value to our community. Just click this link to go to our Tarot Pages.
