Filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky offers profound insights into the Tarot as a spiritual path, utilizing the original Marseille Tarot to uncover the roots of Western wisdom. He transforms this divination tool into a means of self-realization and healing, revealing that the Tarot serves as a powerful instrument of self-knowledge and a representation of the soul's structure. Jodorowsky presents the entire deck as a temple or mandala, symbolizing both the world and the divine. The Tarot is described as a "nomadic cathedral," where the 78 cards, or "arcana," must be understood within the context of the whole structure to appreciate its hermetic symbolism fully. The authors delve into the secret associations behind the card hierarchy and the connections between suits and human energies. Each Major Arcana card is accompanied by key word summaries, symbolic meanings, traditional interpretations, and a section where the card expresses its own voice. Jodorowsky and Costa elevate the art of Tarot reading through Tarology, a psychological approach that harnesses the symbolism and optical language of the Tarot to reflect the personality, providing a powerful tool for self-discovery, creativity, and healing.

A healing path using the power of dreams, theater, poetry, and shamanism.

"The Metabaron, returning to the land of his ancestors, Marmola, is convinced that the Epyphite, the precious resource sheltered in the heart of his home planet is trying to tell him something urgent. But the anti-gravitation properties of the liquid are not the only surprises now threatening the substance, or the Metabaron ...

A glimpse into the mind and life of filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, this work retraces his spiritual and mystical journey since childhood, vividly portraying events through an unleashed imagination. It delves into the development of his psychomagic and metagenealogy practices, revealing how all problems stem from the family tree. Jodorowsky re-creates his incredible adventure as an artist, filmmaker, writer, and therapist, pushing the boundaries of imagination and reason. Unlike a traditional autobiography, this narrative repaints his life events from a unique perspective, exposing the mythic models and family templates that shape everyday experiences. Through vivid examples, particularly his interactions with his parents, he illustrates that true fulfillment requires shedding the phantoms projected by family. The narrative serves as an act of healing, demonstrating that our personalities are shaped by familial influences. Jodorowsky asserts that being born into a family means being possessed by its legacy. By exploring our past, we can uncover an inner light that guides us through life’s challenges. This work inspired Jodorowsky’s critically acclaimed film, which debuted at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
