Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: Crowley and Golden Dawn: Aleister Crowley was a British occultist who broke with the Golden Dawn but continued to develop his own interpretations, which closely followed the Golden Dawn’s occult teachings. With Lady Frieda Harris, Crowley published the Thoth Tarot, one of the most influential esoteric decks of the later part of the twentieth century.34

Tarot Books

Creative Tarot: Becoming a tarot reader was never my plan. I was more than a little surprised at how quickly it took over my life. How fascinating I found the cards, and how eagerly I dug into their history, how I couldn’t get enough of reading about the Golden Dawn, psychology, and art and music. Or how much I enjoyed the conversations I had with my clients and how my sessions felt more like play than work.

Complete Book of Tarot: f you shuffle a deck to randomly mix the cards, some of them will appear upside down when you lay them out in a spread. Entire books have been written about how to interpret reversed or inverted cards. Mary K. Greer’s Complete Book of Tarot Reversals is an excellent resource. Some readers simply ignore card reversals and read all cards upright. Others find inverted cards to be indispensable. This chapter presents some viewpoints about card reversals, and you will need to experiment to decide whether or not you want to use them.

Tarot Triumphs: I also recommend studying Tarot as a self-contained system, rather than trying to work out straightaway how it might correspond to astrology, Kabbalah, Christianity, or any other framework. Once you have acquired facility with the cards, and are confident of knowing the system, then it’s fine to consider other attributions.10
