A sheet of note paper with holograph notes by Crowley on the symbolism and gematria of the words Taro, Tarot and Azoth.

circa 1941. A sheet of note paper with holograph notes by Crowley on the symbolism and gematria of the words Taro, Tarot and Azoth.(circa 1941). In ink, and pencil. Written on the recto only of a single sheet of "Abermill Bond" watermarked note-paper, (approx. 5 1/4" x 7"). The text is written in black ink, with "Written out for Press" scrawled in pencil across the bottom. Crowley's notes on the gematria and symbolism of the words Taro, Tarot and Azoth. Crowley was evidently not particulary happy with what he had written about "Tarot" - which he has struck through - but was clearly pleased with his ideas on "Taro" as next to them he has written "This is an A.1. reading." Undated, but almost certainly from the early 1940s, when he was working on "The Book of Thoth" and the tarot deck with Frieda Harris. An interesting curiosity associated with Crowley's most significant publications. Item #60329
