RARE Vintage Thoth Tarot Deck 1st Edition, White Box "B", Aleister Crowley, Llewellyn. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
This deck is extremely hard to find in any condition and very rare. This is the version with the corrected cards for the Eight of Cups and the Ace of Disks- the deck available does not have the design flaws. The cards themselves are in very good to nearly new shape, however the outer printed box and the inner cardboard box with the thumb notches... are both worn- the outer box in much worse wear than the inner box. There is no Caliph Card included in this deck, it is possible certain editions did not include this. This includes the full set of 78 cards of the full card size 5 1/2 inch by 3 3/4 inch.
This edition is designed by Aleister Crowley (See the Book of Thoth for more details on this) and the cards are created by Lady Frieda Harris. This is the Llewellyn Publications printing from 1969 or 1972- 1972 is the more accurate date but 1969 is what many people are familiar with for the dating.

Later printings of this edition included a booklet, however this early edition does not include an explanatory booklet- however much information on Thoth Tarot and the differences in the suits and the trump cards are easy to find online. These cards are printed beautifully in vintage colors, and have a slight blue hue to the white space of the cards.
Please contact me if you have any additional questions on this particular deck as this is one of a kind.
