Thoth Tarot 1943

This illustration of the Thoth Tarot card, "The Magician," by Lady Frieda Harris was created in 1943 for the iconic Thoth Tarot deck, co-created by Aleister Crowley. The card's central image is a complex geometric design with a five-pointed star, known as a pentagram, at its heart. The pentagon contains a series of circles with three smaller circles inside, symbolizing the forces of creation and the Magician's ability to manipulate them. The wings surrounding this central image likely represent the Magician's power and control. The Thoth Tarot is a highly symbolic deck, rich in occult, alchemical and philosophical meaning. The artist's attention to detail and use of intricate designs create a compelling image that reflects the depth of the deck's esoteric content.
