    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.

  • "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 ... With the New Golden Planet growing increasingly concerned over its shortage, and the continued threat of The Metabaron, the Techno-Pope entrusts his loyal Techno-Cardinal, Orne-8, to find the ultimate solution."--Publisher's website
