Title: Good source but a little dated...
Product review: Most of of this book will go right over your head unless you already have a good working knowledge of Egyptian & Greek mythology, magic and esoteric lore of both the East and West. If not, it's a good source for finding out what you DON'T know!It has become dated to a certain extent, but it's still probably the best source if you are serious about the Thoth Tarot. Some of Crowley's information is faulty, due probably to the limitations of the time in which he lived but also to his own ignorance. Furthermore, Crowley writes with an air of authority and certitude that only serves to complicate matters if you aren't able to sort out fact from fiction.To me this book does not reveal anything close to genius as some have suggested. While it does contain a vast amount of information on a lot of different subjects, many of its ideas are not that organized or very well thought out.
