Part II for individual trumps; Part III for the courts; Part IV for the small cards. Compare the named card sections with the earlier Book T.
Keep in mind
This is a modern transcription, not a facsimile. Its historical assertions are Crowley’s claims. Thoth revises the earlier Golden Dawn system, notably the Emperor and Star letters; do not silently combine the tables. Artwork and text are linked at the source rather than reproduced here.
