I like this book very much
Some of her forced numerology inventions are making me dizzy…
Pollack writes something along this lines:
The number 12 (The hanged man) can be divided as 2 times 6, which means 2 (The High Priestess) elevating 6 (The Lovers) to a higher place…
Also:
The number 13 (Death) relates to Judas because he was the thirteenth man in the last supper, so it also symbolizes Jesus (?!?), and Death.
What?
-No, no, no Maam' !! This is getting a bit silly.
Such a shame, so many great ideas and concepts shuffled with a bunch of gibberish….

The Book of Thoth is the best source for interpretative meanings that I know of, but I don't think it would work for the OP, since Crowley bases a significant part of his interpretation of Death on its numerological correlation with the Hebrew letter Nun and its reference to Jesus Christ. Moreover, Crowley depends heavily on the fact that every Tarot card is linked to a Hebrew Letter and/or elemental or astrological concept, as originally conceived by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, by means of "mathematical eccentricities."......I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I prefer Crowley's "Book of Thoth" for interpretive tarot meanings.
