The Thoth tarot is one of the most respected tarot decks ever created. It is also one of the most complex and oftentimes enigmatic tarot decks of all time, created by Aleister Crowley. Michael Osiris Snuffin has given the reader a memorable and in-depth look at what this unusual deck offers, and why. Snuffin has been utilizing the Thoth tarot deck for many years and is a member of the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO); additionally, he also founded the Temple of Light and Darkness. He practices ceremonial magick and lives in Washington.

This book will enlighten and surprise readers with its candor and explanations. All seventy-eight cards are examined within the context of Thelema, Qabala, and ceremonial magick. The correspondences and Aleister Crowley's encoded secrets are revealed and shared with the reader.

This well-written and fine nonfiction book instructs on how to use the Thoth tarot for meditation, divination, and pathworking. There is guidance on developing intuition.

This is a helpful book, well-conceived, and enjoyable reading. Congratulations to the author and publisher for bringing it to the readers.
