The Thoth Tarot Decks: Reviews of Aleister Crowley s Thoth Tarot Versions

Aleister Crowley s Thoth Tarot is widely hailed as the best tarot deck available. The most commonly known and used tarot deck is the Rider-Waite tarot. Although the Rider-Waite tarot deck is the most common, it was originally made by a mystical secret society to be released to the public, and because of this, much of the true meanings of the cards in the Rider-Waite deck were intentionally hidden. Much of the card imagery was changed or left out, in order to hide the powerful inner meanings of the cards, which were saved for order members only. Enter the Toth Tarot. When Aleister Crowley made the Thoth Tarot, he designed each card to fully represent the true and hidden meanings of every card. Aleister Crowley's masterful knowledge of the occult and religious systems resulted in this amazing tarot deck which has yet to be surpassed. Though not always obvious to the newcomer, there are three different versions of the Tarot Thoth, the difference between them being the size of the deck. There is a small pocket edition, a standard sized deck and a version with extra large cards. Each size has its own advantages in different situations. Depending upon your needs, one deck may suit you best or you may find all three useful to have.

The Thoth Tarot Pocket Edition is a very small edition of the Thoth cards. As the name indicates, this deck will fit easily inside your pocket. This is an excellent tarot deck for traveling or to keep with you when going out, if you like to have a tarot deck available in any situation. It also makes it easy to do large tarot readings on a small table or small space.

The third version of the Thoth Tarot is the Large Thoth Tarot Deck, which features over-sized cards. These large cards are very nice and wonderful for a collector or anyone wanting to really appreciate the artwork. The large printing also adds a lot for those using the tarot as a tool for spiritual study and practice. The extra large card size is perfect for meditation and study of the symbols on each card.
