Some remarkable material in the latest list from Caduceus Books:
The realisation of the Crowley Thoth tarot deck is a towering achievement of Frieda Harris. It is she who brought into manifestation the seed of Crowley’s idea. The mother of the child that was to be the crowning achievement of Crowley’s magical endeavour. Her role in creating the pack and her tremendous influence over their appearance has often been overlooked. It can be noted that whilst the tarot cards are like other examples of her occult artwork they are nothing like Crowley’s art. We should remember that the Crowley Thoth tarot and the subsequent Book of Thoth owes both its appearance and very existence to Harris. The effort was immense. The items listed below are evidence to the fact that far more than 78 pictures were produced. One imagines Crowley was not the easiest to work with and that Harris must have showed immense patience and fortitude. Also it is generally not realised that the tarot pack we know today is not as Crowley intended. As evidenced in the items listed below one of the trumps Harris painted and Crowley chose is significantly different to the one selected for inclusion in the modern pack.

1) Frieda Lady Harris and the Crowley Thoth Tarot
The realisation of the Crowley Thoth tarot deck is a towering achievement of Frieda Harris. It is she who brought into manifestation the seed of Crowley’s idea. The mother of the child that was to be the crowning achievement of Crowley’s magical endeavour. Her role in creating the pack and her tremendous influence over their appearance has often been overlooked. It can be noted that whilst the tarot cards are like other examples of her occult artwork they are nothing like Crowley’s art. We should remember that the Crowley Thoth tarot and the subsequent Book of Thoth owes both its appearance and very existence to Harris. The effort was immense. The items listed below are evidence to the fact that far more than 78 pictures were produced. One imagines Crowley was not the easiest to work with and that Harris must have showed immense patience and fortitude. Also it is generally not realised that the tarot pack we know today is not as Crowley intended. As evidenced in the items listed below one of the trumps Harris painted and Crowley chose is significantly different to the one selected for inclusion in the modern pack.
It should be realised that the involvement of Frieda Harris in Crowley’s occultism went far beyond the tarot pack. There has been some debate as to whether she can be considered a member of the O.T.O. The existence of the manuscript of a variation of De Natuara Deorum in her hand below leaves little doubt that she was. It is also clear that she worked extensively with Crowley’s Chinese teachings.
It is to be hoped that the cataloguing of these items assists recognition of her contribution.

i) The Underlying Geometry
Frieda Harris, A Prospective Way of Drawing a Curve, Series of Seven Original Watercolours, Each approximately 9ins x 7ins. The numbered paintings with some pencil lines strikingly demonstrate the sacred geometry relating to the pentagram which underlies the design of the Hierophant tarot card. The last painting in the series features a black and white photo (112mm x 73mm) of the card which has been coloured and set within a painting showing the wider geometry. The tite appears in pencil in the hand of Frieda Harris and is confirmed in a pencil annotation in the hand of Gerald Yorke which also confirms Frieda Harris as the artist. Claas Hoffmann has established that Frieda Harris learnt the principles of Projective Synthetic Geometry from Olive Whitcher who was taught by Rudolf Steiner and fellow anthoposophists and that she used it in design of many of the tarot cards (see http://www.the-book-of-thoth.com/content-111.html) These drawings are striking testament to this process and a reminder of the contribution Harris made to the design as well as the execution of the cards. The pictures, which are visually impressive, have been glued upon a second piece of paper and then mounted on a third. There are tape marks on the borders but this does not affect the actual images.

ii) Original Paintings
The Magician or Juggler , Watercolour 18ins x 11.5ins In plain mount, signed by Harris. A note by her on reverse states “Original version – Rejected” Radically different to the final design. #2495 http://www.caduceusbooks.com/occultartgallery/harris/S_MAGICIAN.html

iii) The Exhibition, Nicholson & Venn Gallery, Oxford June 7th – 21st 1941. Curiously no mention is made of Crowley or the identity of the artist. Crowley’s diaries reveal that Harris asked him not to attend and which he was happy to do this.
Anon, Invitation Card, Private View of Occult & Alchemical Drawings June 7th 1941, Nicholson & Venn Gallery Card 4ins x 5ins Printed on one side. Exhibition of the original paintings by Frieda Harris of the Crowley Thoth Tarot. Probably Gerald Yorke’s invitation as it survived amongst his papers. One crease and tape marks to corners Good Order No. 370051 #75
Anon, Exhibition of Occult and Alchemical Designs for the Cards of the Tarot of the Egyptians, 1941 20pp leaflet. Issued for the exhibition of the original paintings for the Crowley Thoth tarot in that year. The original exhibtion was in Oxford, this copy may have been used for a second exhibition later that year, half the title page being removed as that carried details of the original show. The front cover carries a coloured illustration of a variant form of the Magician in which a bear overshadows the human figure. Authorship of the text describing the symbolism of the cards, Crowley appears to have had little involvement in the exhibition so it may be by Frieda Harris. It represents the first published description of the cards coming out almost three years before the Book of Thoth VG+ Order No. 370050 #120
Aleister Crowley and Frieda Harris, The Magician, 1941 Coloured plate of a variant for of the card featuring a dark bear looming behind the human figure This image was used on the cover of exhibition catalogue for the 1941 Oford exhibiition of the original tarot pictures, this plate being printed at the same time.

iv) Early Use of Designs,
Aleister Crowley, Liber Oz, OTO winter solstice 1941 Card Illustrated with Devil card by Frieda Harris, text of Liber Oz on reverse. 8ins x 6ins, printed in blue. A talismanic publication. Printed in England, published by Abbey of Thelema, Rainbow Valley, Palomar Mountains, California. Fine Order No. 370070 #120
Aleister Crowley, Liber Oz, OTO winter solstice 1941 8ins x 6ins, printed in blue. Card Illustrated with variant form of Aeon card by Frieda Harris, text of Liber Oz on reverse. This form of the design does not have the figure of Harpocrates so one can better see Horus and the star systems in the belly of Nuit. Remarkably it is this version of the Aeon card which appears in the 1st Edition of the Book of Thoth and the Weiser 1969. Presumably the version used in the modern packs and subsequent editions of the Book of Thoth was a variant that was not chosen by Crowley. Fine Order No. 370072 #200

v) Book of Thoth, First Colour Reproductions, First Ever Cards
The Book of Thoth was issued on the Spring Equinox 1944 in a limited edition of 200 copies. It had striking coloured plates, far superior (colours being lusher and the detail clearer) to later reproductions which are muddy in comparison. The image is created by taking a series of photographs of the original picture using coloured filters. From these a plate is made up which prints only the yellow component of the original image, likewise the red and blue. Then a black and white image is taken which is then treated so that only the very darkest components appear. From this a plate is created. Then a sheet is printed with all four plates to create the completed image. The colours are printed as dots so the colours mix rather than overprint each other. The first items below are original proofs from the plates for the coloured illustrations in the first edition. Framed they would make visually striking items. It was not generally realised that Crowley and Harris also at this time printed the first ever Crowley Thoth tarot cards with the familiar Rose Cross design on the reverse, not a complete set, but those cards that were illustrated in colour in the Book of Thoth. Needless to say these first edition cards are extremely rare. All these images include the decorative boarder designed by Harris
The Universe, Colour Separations, (c.1943) Nine plates, 138mm x 94mm Three black and white images on different kinds of paper, black and white image lightened as base for colour. Blue component of image, red component, yellow component, yellow and red components combined. The last plate is all components combined in complete image. It is numbered XXII and a pencilled annotation initialed by Gerald Yorke notes that this was changed. Images all fine, pin holes labels and other marks on card surrounding image Order No. 370056 #120
Rose Cross Design on Reverse of Crowley Thoth Tarot, Colour Separations, Not Dated (1943?) Six plates with an image 137mm x 93mm which give the colour separations and final image for back of tarot cards. Thus the first plate is a black and white image of the card, the second its yellow components, the third its red components, fourth red and yellow components, fifth the blue components and lastly all the components to give the final image Images are in Fine condition, some of the paper surrounding them has drawing pin marks and a label plus a label. Order No. 370053 #120
The Lovers, Colour Separations, (c1943?) Seven plates (137mm x 93mm) black and white image; black and white image lightened; yellow component; red component; red and yellow components combined; blue component; all components combined – final image. All images Fine, tape marks pin holes, labels etc to surrounding card. Order No. 370058 #120
Aleister Crowley and Frieda Harris, The Sun, Colour Separation Plates, (c1943?) Eleven plates preparing for creation of the first ever version of the card. Image size 137mm x 93mm on larger card. First plate is black and white image, the second is that image lightened so as to print only darkest components. Second plate is the blue components of the image. Third combines black and yellow components of the Sun trump and on reverese has fourth plate which shows the black component of Rose Cross design on reverse of card. Fifth image shows yellow component of the Sun whilst sixth plate is on the reverse and is complete full colour image of the Rose Cross design. Seventh plate is the red component of the Sun. Eighth shows red and yellow components of the image with the ninth, full colour complete Rose Cross design, on reverse. Tenth is full colour complete image of the Sun whilst the eleventh plate is on reverse and shows the back design in full colour. Images all Fine tape marks, pin holes and label on card surrounding image Order No. 370054 #200

vi) The Harris Prints
The original pictures were professionally photographed in black and white and then c.1945 the following photographic prints were made up from the negatives. As these are photographic prints and not reproductions they are not pixilated in any way and and can show detail lost in other reproductions. All are 6ins x 4ins and show the image of the tarot card without the border.

vii) The Yorke Prints.
These black and white photographic prints were made up for Gerald Yorke from the original negatives in July 1951. The invoice confirms only one print was made from each negative.

Please note:-
1) Each photo will be supplied with a numbered facsimile of the original invoice printed on goatskin parchment paper.
2) Unless otherwise stated Gerald Yorke has written in pencil the title (ie “Strife”, “Victory” “Valour” etc) of each card.

The Yorke prints also record a number of variant designs from the final printed versions. Unless otherwise stated these items do not have pencilled annotations by Gerald Yorke:-
Variant trumps:-
The Magician, Variant form of the Magus card showing a bear looming behind human figure, as used on Exhibition Catalogue. Has title written in pencil by Yorke. Order No. YP-077 #80
The Magician, Variant form of card showing an eight armed Hermes standing behind a Caduceus an Infinity symbol above his head, a large ape lurks behind him and there are distorted buildings in the background Has title written in pencil by Yorke. Order No. YP-078 #90
The Magician, Variant form of card showing a stylised Hermes, his body in profile his head facing out, running above an ape. Around him various articles, above a winged disc. The background suggests the curls of a snake. Order No. YP-079 #80

Adjustment, Radically variant form of image with highly stylised figure, dove and raven Order No. YP-081 #110
Fortune, Variant form of image the sphinx having a long sabre, no pencilled annotation by Yorke on this item. Order No. YP-082 #60
Hanged Man, Variant form of image not having the usual snake at the base of the image, his foot is not nailed and there are slight differences to the ankh etc. Order No. YP-083 #60
The Aeon, Variant form of card not having the image of Harpocrates and accordingly one can see the image of Horus and the star systems in the belly of Nuit far clearer. Remarkably it was this version that appeared in the 1st Edition of the Book of Thoth and the 1969 reprint by Weisers. Subsequent editions and the modern packs employ what presumably was a rejected image, perhaps the original painting not being available to copy. Given that this, the original chosen image of the Aeon card, has only ever been reproduced in monotone this item is the best possible image of the picture that one could ever hope to obtain. Each photo is supplied with a numbered facsimile of the original invoice to Gerald Yorke for the making up on prints from negatives supplied. Order No. YP-084 #200
