 Thoth tarot deck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Thoth Tarot /təʊt 'tær.əʊ/ is a tarot deck painted by Lady Frieda Harris according to instructions from Aleister Crowley.
Crowley originally intended the Thoth deck to be a three-month project aimed at updating the traditional pictorial symbolism, perhaps best demonstrated by the Rider-Waite-Smith deck; however, it was to span five years, between 1938 and 1943, as the scope of the project grew ever wider.
This initial printing was of markedly inferior quality, and in 1977 Harris' paintings were rephotographed for a second edition; the current edition is based on a further update that took place in 1986.
