So my step mom gave these a loooong time ago, just found em buried in some junk in my garage. I'm not sure why she gave em to me. I'm not really into tarot, but I do find Mr. Crowley interesting.
Just wanted to know if there's anything special about these, or if they're worth anything.
Anybody know?

You know this nigga crucified a frog names Jesus of Nazareth right?
I guess these are easily found, and not a big deal?
I see shit about tarot all the time on x so I thought you'd all be interested.
show some of the artwork on the cards pls
I can't now. I could tomorrow if you're interested. Or maybe later tonight I can.

How many Magicians does it have? There are some rare decks that can be worth a bit of money mostly the ones before 1974

For real?
And OP, sell this deck online on Amazon, and when you do, announce it on /x/ so that other tarot users can think about buying it.
Oh, and when you take pictures of the cards, take a snap shot of the front and back of all of the cards. Thanks! This'll be interesting!

Yeah look it up, it has to do with the symbolic "gonna end Christianity"
This is the back.
I can post more if you guys would like. I just whipped out a few.
Unfortunately it doesn't have the instruction booklet like it says on the box.
Don't know if I'd sell em, because they were a gift and all. If it's worth it I might, really at the least I would like to know more about them.

I just looked through em and the only one that sounds close to magician is a card called "the magus". Sorry, I know nothing about tarot.
What do you want for it?

The missing booklet is here: http://hermetic.com/crowley/book-of-thoth/
This deck is one of the classic tarot decks.
Check if your edition might has rarity value or something.

Not sure I want to sell it yet. Like I said, I'd probably feel bad for selling something that was a gift to me. If I decide to sell it, I'll come to x to let you dudes know.

He also literally ate shit once.
Really a thoroughly radical guy. Say what you want about him, he had the realest kind of belief in... something. Some of his writing is pretty good but it requires a degree in theoretical physics to understand what he was actually trying to say. Of course there would be all sorts of symbolism in the colors and images of the tarot deck he designed.
hermetic com is a good resource if you have the time to delve into him.
Personally, I'm partial to the Ra interpretation of the tarot.
