I just bought an old library copy of Crowley's Complete Astrological works for a tenner, it might be tatty, that is fine, as long as I can read it... My first foray into the daunting astrological side of tarot. Hopefully it will get here soon.
So I popped into Treadwell's in London on my way home - just for a look - and picked up Rachel Pollack. Which was on my reading list, but also this beast by Jung �� So that's bedtime reading sorted! ��
I have ordered a few tarot and magick books recently, and this is one of them. ('Tarot and the path of Iniciation' - By Henry Ho)
This book is about Thoth Tarot of A. Crowley. It also talks about religion, qabala, astrlogy and Thelema.
I feel it is written with chat type language, so it feels not academic at all, but easy to understand, and feel like reading someone talking on the online chat program. Maybe for the terse topics, it might be a strong point of the book.
But in many parts of the book, the author seems throw a lot of his own personal bold and polemic views and comments about religion, society, history, cultures and life, which could be subject to heavy criticisms and logical and factial clarification.
But for elaborating on the main topics, it seems ok, easy to see what he is trying to say, although the book seems trying to cover too many topics for the size. An ok book to add to Tarot library.
Tarot beyond the basics by Anthony Louis.
When I got this book a couple of year ago, I just skimmed it through, and now I am reading in detail the parts where I find relevant to my current interest - Tarot and Astrology.
I find this book refreshingly well written, and can be used as reference or a textbook.
Currently reading 'Advanced Tarot Secrets' by Dusty White. It's a great book and has immensely helped me already.
I've also recently ordered 'The Easiest Way to Learn the Tarot - Ever', by the same author which I should've read first but it was out of stock when I ordered the other.
