Back to the Book

When I began this project, a little over a year ago, I had in mind to finish it by a certain deadline, the 60th anniversary of the death of Aleister Crowley. That seemed rather celebratory, and also it focused the work. On the other hand, when this deadline was established, I had done no research into the book, by which I mean the deeper research necessary to truly delve into the mysteries of Thoth Tarot and clear up some things for myself and for others that had never before been made clear.

As that process of research progressed, I was struck by how much really wasn't known, but should have been, and how much material there really was to explore to fairly and truly clarify Thoth, if not once and for all, at least for the first time.

On the bad news side of things, I missed the deadline. 

On the good news side, I've succeeded in solving some of the mysteries. I will be reporting on one of those, which is really related to a more general mystery or question, in a few weeks time. It will not be part of the Thoth book, because its topic is in fact more general than would warrant its inclusion in that book.

And, I will once again be updating this blog.

I hope to complete the Thoth book this year sometime, but I'll refrain at this point from suggesting a date. When I get closer, I'll let you know.
