Crowley created arguably one of the most intricate and powerful Tarot decks in existence, with the superb contribution of Lady Frieda Harris. It is called the Thoth Deck or The Book of Thoth. It took her 5 years to complete, as each card was a full painting.
Harris began taking lessons in projective synthetic geometry, based upon the ideas of Goethe as reflected in the teachings of Steiner, from Olive Whicher and George Adams
She devoted her genius to the Work. With incredible rapidity she picked up the rhythm, and with inexhaustible patience submitted to the correction of the fanatical slave-driver that she had invoked, often painting the same card as many as eight times until it measured up to his Vanadium Steel yardstick!
The designs contain kabbalistic and astrological attributions described in Aleister Crowley' s work.
So she created 78 works of art, with Easter eggs based on Goethe, Steiner, astrology, Kabbalah, Christian esotericism, and Egyptian esotericism. And Thelema, of course, which is related to the Golden Dawn.
