I brought this book really cheaply as an ex-library book. Has anyone read this one?

In full colour.
I have never seen this picture anywhere else before and I was most surprised by it.

rwcarter said:The picture of the Aeon on page 139 of the hardcover edition? It looks exactly the same as the Aeon in various Thoths (from vintage to recent printings) that I have. Only difference I can see is that in the book the cards have ragged edges.

I guess that means the images come from a collection housed in the Warburg Institute?
I could, and I will. Just not this minute; I am BUSY !Lillie said:Gregory, you couldn't scan it in could you????
Ordo Templi Orientis has been working with the Centre Pompidou, the Warburg and the Palais du Tokyo to assist, in a minor way, with two truly important art shows, both featuring works by Aleister Crowley.
CENTRE POMPIDOU -- TRACES DU SACRÉ
May 8 - August 11
The Centre Pompidou in Paris is mounting a show commemorating the anniversary of its founding as the most prominent state-owned museum of modern art in France, titled "Traces du Sacré." The Warburg Institute has kindly loaned four newly-restored Thoth Tarot paintings by Aleister Crowley and Frieda, Lady Harris: The High Priestess, The Hermit, The Moon and The Aeon. One important, previously unknown Aleister Crowley oil painting will be included in the "Great Initiates" section of the show. That Crowley should be included with these artists in a retrospective -- one that takes into account the incredibly influential spiritual and artistic undergrounds -- is groundbreaking.
