The Pomo Tarot: A Postmodern Deck for Navigating the Next Millennium

About this book

Postmodernism has already swept all the major artistic disciplines: art architecture literature dance and music. Brian Williams offers a postmodern twist to the tarot. Each card of the Minor Arcana has been inspired by a modern artwork while the traditional suits of the Minor Arcana (staves cups coins and swords) are transformed into TVs bottles guns and money-icons with meaning for 21st-century readers. Among the 22 cards of the major Arcana the traditional Jester-like Fool has become a trendy idiot the Magician has become a scientific expert and the Empress and Emperor have become Mum and Dad. A companion guidebook is included.
