The British-born Mexican surrealist Leonora Carrington dedicated her life to investigating the obscure traditions of various cultures, incorporating their beliefs and symbols into her artistic and literary work.
Tibetan Buddhism, the Kabbalah, ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian magic, Celtic mythology, witchcraft, astrology and the Tarot were examined through her feminist point of view to create an insightful, female focused worldview.
This special book is an outstandingly expanded edition of Carrington’s acclaimed Tarot series, featuring factual research and imaginative archival visuals. It explores further the central position that the Tarot held in Carrington’s work, including detailed analysis of each card: their color symbolism, their relationship to other works and their iconographic origins in ancient esoteric beliefs.
