But that was the creation of the people who lived in the eon of Osiris,
god of the underworld. The twentieth century was the first century of the eon of Horus,
the sun god. Based on this, Aleister Crowley declared that the new
time is the new conditions, so the tarot cards needed
changes.
Aleister Crowley
Initially, he only wanted to redraw one of the old decks,
created by the Order of the Golden Dawn, and for this he made an alliance with
artist and Egyptologist Fridoy Harris. But she, having become acquainted with
a magician closer, insisted on creating a deck from scratch. Long
resisting, Crowley agreed.
The name for the deck is not accidental. He is a wise god, moon
god, patron of scholars and aristocrats of Egypt. After all, Tarot is not
tool bazaar fortune tellers. In them – a fusion of ancient religions, science,
philosophical systems. This is esoteric knowledge, by some
considered secret. There is another reason for this name:
Crowley believed that the first Tarot were made by the Egyptians, priests
Thoth.
In addition, he believed that in the deck signs, symbols, and
Plots express the knowledge of the Holy Kabbalah (esoteric
branch of Judaism). There is no contradiction. Truth is one, and
the ancient Egyptians and medieval Jews came to her independent
ways.
Creating a deck, Crowley relied on knowledge,
underlined from ancient texts, from mythologies, philosophical doctrines,
Sciences, history and astrology.

There are four suits of junior lasso:
- Fire rods,
- Water bowls
- Air swords
- Earth disks (denarii, pentacles – in other tarot decks).
In addition, each of the courtyard cards also represents its own
the elements:
- Fire is father, knight, king,
- Water is mother, queen,
- The air is a prince, a page, a son,
- Earth is a princess, a daughter.
Speaking about the prince of wands, for example, means the air part
of fire. This card characterizes a certain character, a person with
all its complexity and inconsistency. Together sixteen cards

Decoding cards
The tandem of the great magician and artist generated a unique deck,
complex, filled with symbols from various layers of human
culture. Therefore, to treat any of the cards of the deck is difficult and
fine art.
For example, the first card of the senior lasso is the Fool (“Crazy” in
first decks).

Divination by the tarot cards
To master the art of prediction, it is necessary
to know man and nature itself. Without it – all this is only
guesses.
The first step in the session with the Tarot is the selection of the Significator,
one of the sixteen maps of the yard, the most appropriate personality
the person for whom the prediction is made – Querent.
After that a complex ritual is performed, during which the predictor
makes assumptions and makes up a story. He must understand
Kverenta problem and make recommendations.
So this is more a psychoanalysis session, in
during which the soothsayer reveals the identity of Kverenta and
tells him the way of life.
Подробное описание ритуала Aleister Crowley приводит в работе –

ways to predict. Everyone who decided to master this art
goes its own way, in its own way understands the cards and in its own way
communicates with them.
