The deck is inspired by the Egyptian deck, so it was also known as the Toth tarot, or the Toth cards.
Aleister Crowley's tarot was painted in watercolor around the years 1938 and 1942, by the wife of British parliamentarian Sir Harris, Lady Frieda Harris whom she met in 1937 and with whom she had established a great friendship.
The first publication made approximately around 1944 was made in black and white, until in 1969 the publications appear in two colors, and always maintaining the abstract surrealist style.
Crowley had 3 different images of each arcane drawn so he could choose one of them personally. Each letter is full of symbology, finding many pagan representations. Harris used synthetic Projective Geometry and influences concerning "art deco", also based on cabal, numerology, astrology and knowledge of the Egyptian religion. It is known that Crowley roamed the pyramids and was inside, in addition to having maintained contacts with ancient secret cults.
The deck is inspired by the Egyptian deck, so it was also known as the Toth tarot, or the Toth cards. But Aleister Crowley's deck had a more ambitious goal than any deck created so far: that of being "the mirror of the soul." The names of the arcana already reveal the purpose of these cards to reflect all possible states of the human spirit, in it there is a significant change with respect to the interpretation and representation of the major and minor arcana in comparison to other types of tarot.
