Aeon from the Thoth TarotCrowley felt that the in front history of Tarot, by means of its purported babyhood in ancient Egypt, was lastly paltry. "The origin of Tarot is comparatively mean, even if it were strong-minded. It prerequisite stand or fall as a concept on its own merits," he explained in The Undergo of Thoth, which he wrote as a subordinate to the deck. Nevertheless, he noted that the Tarot "is an soaring illustrative picture of the Nature, based on the suggestion of the Deified Qabalah [a sentimental of Jewish theology]."
As well, the Thoth Tarot was a illustrative picture of the conception according to Thelema and, of course, its finest forward planner, Crowley. "This new Tarot may after that be regarded as a series of illustrations to the Undergo of the Law; the doctrine of that Undergo is somewhere inferred," Crowley noted. For try, the Trump unadventurously patrician Common sense was replaced by The Aeon (see sum, haughty), in celebration of the New Aeon and the coming of Thelema.

In protection with Thelema, Crowley commonly advocated the free digestion of spirituality and sexuality. In his sheen on The Undergo of the Law he wrote:
"We [Thelemites] junk to regard love as shameful and not fit for, as a risk to assemble and interior. We junk to suffer it as the submit of the divine to the animal; to us it is the path by which the animal may be finished the Winged Sphinx which shall transport man aloft to the Home-based of the Gods."
So therefore he finished strong-minded that the Thoth deck built-in Tarot and sexuality. For try, he replaced the Trump unadventurously called Apparition with Desire, which included an unabashedly erotic image of a with nothing on female astride an formidable beast.
The Undergo of Thoth and the related Thoth Tarot was Crowley's continue uncouth pleasure. Three years as back number of the book in 1944, which included illustrations of all seventy-eight cards, he was dead at age 72. Neither he nor Harris lived to see the back number of the Thoth Tarot as a working deck; it was most basic published in this format in 1969. In a logic, The Undergo of Thoth and the Thoth Tarot were Crowley's spiritual bear energy and shrine.
