An essential companion to one of the most popular and influential tarot decks, the Thoth Tarot, created by Lady Frieda Harris and Aleister Crowley, now featuring new high-quality reproductions of the cards. 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 which contains kabalistic and astrological attributions. Tarot: Mirror of the Soul provides an accessible guide to the Crowley/Harris Thoth Tarot. It explores different ways of working with the cards, guiding your inner exploration, sometimes pointing the way when handling daily situations or making difficult decisions. Author Gerd Ziegler has studied and practiced humanistic and spiritual therapy in depth. First published by Weiser Books in 1988, Tarot: Mirror of the Soul remains a widely respected classic on the interpretation of the Crowley/Harris Thoth Tarot. This Weiser Classics edition features new high-quality reproductions of the original cards as well as an in-depth appreciation of the deck’s meaning and relevance by Diane Champigny. Review: Excellent! Very happy with this book :) - Would highly recommend this book for Thoth Tarot card readers as Gerd Ziegler seems to have a thorough understanding of Thelemic knowledge and the Thoth Tarot. But what I like most is he focuses on the positives. Personally when I'm giving a reading I like to focus on the positives so people leave uplifted & inspired to put the wisdom into practice. Tarot readings are very similar to oracles and prophecy in that regards in that you present to them the best possible outcome from the infinite amount of possibilities. You can't predict the future but you can open people up to the best path for them and this is what this book helps to do. Thanks Gerd, from Hayley Review: Best Guide to Thoth Tarot - I love Crowley's Thoth Tarot, but admittedly his own writings are extremely verbose and full of obscure references (Book of Thoth). This book explains the imagery, symbolism, and astrological associations of the cards in a very practical way. In addition to the descriptions of the cards, it provides affirmations, questions, indications, and suggestions for each card. These are very helpful for actually using and applying the cards. I find myself returning to this book again and again, and every time I find something new. An indispensable companion to the Thoth Tarot.

A Must for Those Interested in the Thoth Tarot Deck
This book offers in-depth analysis and interpretation of the cards in the Aleister Crowley Thoth tarot deck in language that is easy to follow and understand. It also offers instruction in a number of different card spreads. I have found it extremely informative and useful when doing readings with the Thoth deck.

Livro muito bom para iniciantes no Tarô
O livro se propõe a descomplicar o tarô de Aleister Crowley. Ele não só explica cada uma das 78 cartas como apresenta alguns métodos de leitura; faz uma boa introdução do que é o Tarô, mostra o significado dos naipes e também tem um pequeno glossário. Muito bom e útil para quem quer se aprofundar nesse tarô em específico ou mesmo para iniciantes. O único ponto contra é que as cartas ilustradas no livro não são coloridas. Por isso recomendo muito ter o Tarô de Thoth para uma melhor experiência e aprendizado. Livro em Inglês.
