H. R. GIGER TAROT

Reviews / Votes

H.R. Giger continually amazes, invoking a deranged specter of a shadow world that seems strangely paralell to our own murky unconscious. In this Tarot set, Giger choses 22 of his previously published works to represent the major Arcana. Make no mistake- the result is a new perspective, highly stylized and altogether breathtaking in its appeal to the more nightmarish aspects of existance. With this set, accompanied by an insightful and oft-times surprisingly adroit analyses, it is of course a must have for anyone interested in great art and the symbolism of the tarot. Whether your interest lies primarily in tarot sets or Giger's fantastical art, it will appeal to you regardless of the particular axiom to which you subscribe. One last thing- the cards are foil stamped in silver and are truly magnificent for those individuals searching for something a little different- and may well spark some creativity in those who want to visit new realms of thought as well. customer amazon 2000 This Tarot is not for the faint of heart. This has the potential, if used honestly, to reveal some ugly truths about your unconscious motivations. The images are incredible, and well chosen for the cards. The cards themselves are huge (and need to be to do the images justice). They convey a fascinating darkness to the reader. The book is short and too the point, giving great background info. I would recomend this to serious, mature tarot readers and anyone who likes Giger's work. There is some nudity and disturbing imagery, so if that bothers you, look elsewhere. customer amazon 2002
