7147401The Lady and the Beasthttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-lady-and-the-beast-9780197645161/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6692943/image.jpg?v=63869016244313000013601511MXNOxford University PressInStock/Ebooks/<p>Although Lady Harris is acknowledged as the artist of Aleister Crowleys <em>Book of Thoth</em>, to date, most studies have focused predominantly on Harriss role as Crowleys artist executant, and almost exclusively from Crowleys perspective. Whitehouse argues that Harriss involvement extended far beyond the artwork itself. The Book of Thoth was a collaboration in which each partner fulfilled a variety of roles; building on Crowleys magical theories and practices, and Harriss artistic skills and social awareness that enabled her to promote and exhibit their work as it evolved. The Lady and the Beast presents a critical analysis of the life and works of Frieda, Lady Harris (1877 - 1962), wife of Sir Percy Harris (1876 - 1952), Liberal MP and party chief whip. Frieda Harris, née Bloxam, fulfilled her parents expectations of finding a suitable husband, managing the family home and raising a family. She supported her husbands political endeavours, and in return he encouraged her to pursue her own interests, especially her painting. However, research indicates that Harris was already fascinated by mysticism and alternative belief structures prior to her meeting with Crowley in 1937. Her esoteric interests, combined with her demonstrable skills as a painter, made her ideally suited to illustrate Crowleys Thoth Tarot. In manifesting Crowleys vision of the Occult Tarot, Harriss paintings embody the intersection of art and esotericism. Crowley (1875 - 1847) believed that the Tarot was fundamental to all magical disciplines and his <em>Book of Thoth</em> would become a standard Book of Reference, which will determine the entire course of mystical and magical thought for the next 2000 years. Without Harris, there would be no <em>Book of Thoth</em>. Whitehouse presents a study of Harriss life and works, seeking to assess her true contribution to Western Esotericism.</p>...6810206The Lady and the Beast13601511https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-lady-and-the-beast-9780197645161/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6692943/image.jpg?v=638690162443130000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249780197645161_W3siaWQiOiJjYTYwNWFmZS0zZDAzLTQ1MzAtODFlNC1iNzdmZjg1NDJjMzAiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjE1MTEsImRpc2NvdW50IjoxNTEsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6MTM2MCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMTAtMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780197645161_<p>Although Lady Harris is acknowledged as the artist of Aleister Crowleys <em>Book of Thoth</em>, to date, most studies have focused predominantly on Harriss role as Crowleys artist executant, and almost exclusively from Crowleys perspective.
