Book T: Lord of Perfected Success.
The main account describes settled happiness and generosity. A bracketed editorial note disputes that favourable reading, emphasizing boredom and conflict arising from excess pleasure.
Thoth: Ten of Cups.
Book T’s title is shown separately from the Thoth name. The symbol note below describes the 1912 text, whose design can differ from Harris’s painting.
