Customer Reviews

Erudite, thorough -- worth your money to say the least.
There are those who "claim to know" the tarot, and there are those who "know" the tarot. Mr.DuQuette's comprehensive, exploratory journey of Crowley's "Thoth Tarot", bring the reader not only to a greater understanding of the subject, but make light of such an eccentrically written text. Obviously, any reader of Aleister Crowley's work is aware of his immense linguistic ability, and the difficulties that come with understanding such esoteric manuscripts. Mr.DuQuette is quite the "beacon of light", bringing forth interpretation to the ever-so-enigmatic wonder of such an illustrious work. As an authoritative figure of occult studies, with half a century of expertise under his belt, his elucidation is all-inclusive in: thorough biographic detail, ample notes, and a glossary of terms found through-out the volume. Whether naive beginner or seasoned occult guru, Mr.DuQuette's book is indeed a modern companion to Crowley's past prose.

Easy to follow
I like this book a lot, it's straightforward in explaining the multiple layers and multi-dimensional meanings of the Crowley Tarot; I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with the Crowley deck. It's comprehensive in what it addresses yet simple in how it addresses it. It lays an excellent groundwork to understand Crowley's Book of Thoth, which references references that reference....This book was my way out of the referencing labyrinth.

Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot
I found this book to be very well writen and understandable. I think anyone wanting to understand the Thoth Tarot or Aleister Crowley will find this book to be a journey through what Aleister Crowley wanted us to understand. I give this book two thumbs up and advise anyone looking to deepen your awareness of the occult and spirituality to get the book.
