The Light and Shadow Tarot

by Brian Williams

The Light and Shadow Tarot Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Drawing its inspiration from many spiritual traditions, including Celtic, Native American, East Indian, African, Medieval and Renaissance European, The Light and Shadow Tarotis an innovative collection of potent images and interpretations. The striking black-and-white images stress contrast and balance, resolution and completion, while remaining a strong and workable analogue to the traditional Tarot. Crafted with an enduring and haunting authority, this deck brings to light the shadow side of all of us, an essential part of the creative process that leads to growth, movement, and change."

Brian Williams is the creator of the popular PoMo(Postmodern) Tarot, published by Harper San Francisco

The highly original block prints serve as both works of art and as an illuminating parallel to the accompanying text, which includes a detailed interpretation of each card."

Review:

"Let me put it straight to you: you will do yourself a favor if you hurry up to get hold of a set before they are all gone; there is ling between artistic tarot publications of this kind! For a practicing tarotist, this is a deck to gain insight from; for a tarot art collector it is a must."

Synopsis:

His block prints have been exhibited throughout the United States and Europe.
