The Thoth Tarot was created by the famous occultist Aleister Crowley with Lady Frieda Harris, who painted the cards. Although Lady Harris knew little about the Tarot and its symbolism, under Crowley's guidance she transposed all the subtleties of his ideas into her paintings. Many a card was painted in several versions, until one of them was approved by Crowley. The deck was not published until 1969, after the deaths of both of its creators.
