Let me give you my own almost-definitive guide, OP.

The quintessential book you need first and foremost is Paul Huson's Mystical Origins of the Tarot.
The reason is this book gives you the pre-GD era of fortune-telling card meanings, like Etteilla, with the GD card meanings, and also Waite's. It's comprehensive, it doesnt teach u much on how u should do spread (just go freestyle bby) but it's nice to see all the systems together in one place. Historical too.
Yes, it doesn't include Crowley's but that's reasonable cos his system is a different beast, basically if u cant get throu GD n Waite u likely wont get Crowley either.

After having read some or all of Paul Huson's you can go either/both to Mathers' Book T http://tarot.org.il/Library/Mathers/Book-T.html or Ben-Dov's Marseille Tarot Revealed like the other anon said.

Mathers' Book T is THE basis of 90%+ of decks in existence today (which are non-Marseille). Both Waite and Crowley based their system on this. Essential reading.
Liber Theta is basically additional stuffs added ontop of Liber T.
For Marseille there is also Jodorowsky's The Way of Tarot, DO check this one out.

You probably should glance over at some of the pages in Crowley's Book of Thoth too even if you're not interested in his deck, because it's one of the last writings he penned, it's close to his end of life, so it's kinda like the culmination of so much things he has learned and you can see various immense shit cobbled together and it overwhelmed everyone who ever read the book.

Two other things you SHOULD learn about GD system (just utube or search blogs) are the 4 Elements system which are how the cards INTERACT and the GD's 15 cards spread.

Any books on meditation that isn't full of Westernized Buddhist cuckholdry and is either secular or spiritually neutral?
