Review: The must have book for the thoth deck - Easy to understand and very informative.
Review: Inspirational thunderbolts of awareness - This offering from Mr DuQuette serves majestically well in providing a deep insight into the raison d'etre behind the Thoth Tarot. A brief background into Crowley and Frieda, Lady Harris is provided, as well as a few basics regarding the Golden Dawn and Qabalah. DuQuette's writing style is lucid and punctuated with humour and irony in sufficient amounts to make a rather complicated subject matter accessible. Most of the other books on the Thoth Tarot tend to gloss over the engine under the bonnet, focusing instead on the paintwork and upholstery. In other words, they devote their pages to furnishing the reader with the divinatory meanings behind the cards, with a few cursory glances at the use as a tool of meditation and contemplation. Crowley and Lady Harris managed to cram in the equivalent of a set of occult encyclopediae into some breath-taking artwork, and DuQuette's book serves to draw attention to details and concepts hidden in plain sight. With a reasonable grasp of the Qabalah and comparative mythology, the cards become like zen koans or Sufi teaching stories; the entire deck embodies the Qabalistic Sword and Serpent. DuQuette reminds us that Crowley intended the Thoth Tarot for such meditational practices, rather than a mere fortune telling toy - in modern parlance, using the Large Hadron Collider for interrogating the mysteries of the universe instead of an ornate pencil-sharpener. There is enough to satisfy the left hemisphere of the brain with maps, meanings and minutiae which means the right hemisphere can play with the indescribable and experience non-thought and awareness beyond logos. This book seems to me to be designed to help the meditative student. Just the description of the Rose Cross on the backs of the cards was a huge eye-opener for me. Yes, there are divinatory meanings towards the rear of the book, but it seems such a waste not to digest the Thoth Tarot in the way its design was actually intended. This book hit all the right spots for me and proved to be (and will continue to do so) a reward for all the previous studies of, and work I have conducted of the Qabalah, mythology, etc.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read this one first after buying the Thoth tarot deck
*by J***O on 15 May 2022*

When you start of with the Thoth tarot, it seems sensible to buy Aleister Crowle's, Book of Thoth. Crowley created the deck and he is the source for the creators intentions of the meaning of the cards. Duquettes, however, book is much easier to digest. It has got a much clearer structure and he uses a more modern and straightforward language. This book helps you start reading the cards right away. It took me years to figure tarot out, but after buying the Thoth tarot deck and this book, I finally started working with it.
