Beschreibung
A poetic new essay collection in which the symbols of the tarot brush up against life in a changing world.The Tarot de Marseille is a 16th-century set of playing cards, the deck on which the occult use of tarot was originally based. When Jessica Friedmann bought her first pack, the unfamiliar images sparked a deep immersion in the art, symbols, myths, and misrepresentations of Renaissance-era tarot.Over the years that followed, and as tarot became a part of her daily rhythm, Friedmann s life was touched by floods and by drought, by devastating fires and a pandemic, creating an environment in which the only constant was change.Twenty-Two Impressions: notes from the Major Arcana uses the Tarot de Marseille as a touchstone, blending historical research, art history, and critical insights with personal reflections. In these essays, Friedmann demonstrates how the cards of the Major Arcana can be used as a lens through which to examine the unexpectedness and subtle beauty of 21st-century life.
