"There is nothing short about this essay. Interesting ideas, some very crazy ideas as well. If you are intested in the connection between tarot, Jewish mysticism and the occult then its an informative read, although not an easy read."
"This book is so densely esoteric that I was completely unable to comprehend what I was reading. It is clear that Crowley is deeply versed in many of the primary teachings of his time but he does not present his knowledge in a manner that makes it even remotely accessible. I was disappointed because the Thoth Tarot Deck is my preferred personal deck. I had hoped to learn more about the images without having to read every detail about the sephiroth, Frazer's perspective on mythology and religion, etc. Actually, I probably would have adored all of that if Crowley had made it even remotely palatable or comprehendible.
Although there are other books written by other people about this deck, I think I'll just ignore them for now. This book really burnt me out and I couldn't finish it as a result of it's style."
"One day when I was in The Hobbit Habit, my late and greatly lamented independent bookshop, a deck of Crowley Tarot cards threw themselves off a shelf at me. I decided that any printed material that was that desirous of a place on my bookshelf should have a chance, so I bought the cards and a copy of this book. I enjoyed the references to the I Ching, and spent quite a bit of time with both the I Ching and the Tarot, trying to see how they fit together. I feel I derived a greater understanding of both systems through doing this.
However. I hunted through a lot of mumbo-jumbo in this book to come up with the good bits. I am not a big Crowley fan, but I still have the deck and use it from time to time. I wrote down the relevant information from the book, and put this book on a shelf where it has sat for many years. It is worth checking out Crowley to see how a person goes about constructing his own religion or cult or whatever kind of wacko group he came up with. I revere the Ching and admire the Tarot, but Crowley? Not so much."
