In his book on the Thoth tarot, Duquette writes, “When we ask what makes the Thoth Tarot unique, the first and most obvious answer is the artwork. However difficult it may be to grasp the mathematical subtleties of projective geometry, we see it thrillingly manifested in Harris’s use of lines, nets, arcs, swirls, twists and angles combined to visually redefine the fabric of space.” Churton, Tobias (2011).

Crowley was expedition leader for the 1905 Kanchenjunga expedition, a Himalayan mountaineering jolly that attempted to ascend to Kanchenjunga’s summit, the world’s third-highest, something that wouldn’t actually be achieved for another half century. The south-west face was the ambitious target, but the expedition was soon in bother with dissension in the ranks, partly caused by Crowley’s arrogant behaviour which actually led to an attempt to depose him from his leadership position. The mission failed in its objective; however, Crowley claimed they achieved a height of 25,000 feet in his autobiography which, if true, would have been a record until a later expedition of 1922.

Having arrived in Paris in November 1902, he socialized with his friend the painter Gerald Kelly, and through him became a fixture of the Parisian arts scene. Whilst there, Crowley wrote a series of poems on the work of an acquaintance, the sculptor Auguste Rodin. These poems were later published as Rodin in Rime (1907). [50] One of those frequenting this milieu was W. Somerset Maugham, who after briefly meeting Crowley later used him as a model for the character of Oliver Haddo in his novel The Magician (1908). [51] He returned to Boleskine in April 1903. In August, Crowley wed Gerald Kelly's sister Rose Edith Kelly in a "marriage of convenience" to prevent her from entering an arranged marriage; the marriage appalled the Kelly family and damaged his friendship with Gerald. Heading on a honeymoon to Paris, Cairo, and then Ceylon, Crowley fell in love with Rose and worked to prove his affections. While on his honeymoon, he wrote her a series of love poems, published as Rosa Mundi and other Love Songs (1906), as well as authoring the religious satire Why Jesus Wept (1904).
