2) On April 2, 1901, Frieda married Percy Harris (1876–1952), whose family was friends of the Bloxhams. She was born as Marguerite Frieda Bloxham in London on August 13, 1877, to John Astley Bloxam (1843–1926), a surgeon with Charing Cross Hospital and Lock Hospital, and Jessie Findlay Bloxam née Porter (1851– 1926). Harris’s artwork is iconic, from the standpoint of both Tarot history and Thelemic imagery, and the Thoth Tarot is consequently one of the most popular Tarot decks in the world. Created in the last decade Crowley’s life-and thus informed by four decades of study and practice-the deck and book represent the Master Therion’s most mature, complex, and comprehensive statement on the magical worldview of Thelema. What they originally estimated as a rote six-month project expanded into a radical revisioning of the Tarot, along with an accompanying book. She was the one who suggested to Aleister Crowley that they work on creating a Tarot deck to his specifications, and she provided him with a stipend for the instruction that she would require to realize his vision. Frieda Lady Harris (1877–1962) is best known as the artist executant of the Thoth Tarot.
