# The Secret of the Thoth Tarot: The Golden Dawn Origins of Aleister Crowley's Book of Thoth ISBN 1801521891 Super excited to see my new book, The Secret of the Thoth Tarot is already available to pre-order on Amazon and Waterstones, and it does not even have a cover yet! The book will be published on 30th September 2025. Writing the book is so fresh in my mind that I have not been able to process it, so for now, I will stick with what the publisher says about it: > An essential commentary that unpicks the complexities of Aleister Crowley’s Book of Thoth, unearthing its historical roots and the myriad influences that have shaped its evolution. > > The Thoth Tarot, conceived by Aleister Crowley and illustrated by Frieda Harris, is much more than a mere deck of cards. It is a labyrinth of symbols, each meticulously chosen to convey layers of meaning, hidden and apparent. > > Paul Hughes-Barlow’s exploration of The Book of Thoth transcends a simple recounting of its history. He guides readers through the complex web of esoteric traditions and organisations that have contributed to its formation. > > Each chapter unfolds like a ritual, revealing the intricacies of the symbols and the profound teachings they encapsulate. > > The Secret of the Thoth Tarot also examines the Society of 8, a lesser known but highly influential group within the esoteric community and includes a revolutionary discussion surrounding the use of tarot as a tool for invocation. > > Rich with thorough research, and written in a scholarly yet accessible prose, The Secret of the Thoth Tarot provides a comprehensive overview of the historical and philosophical contexts that have shaped The Book of Thoth, making this work an invaluable resource for both novices and seasoned practitioners.
