The Endless (Tarot) Poetry of Alejandro Jodorowsky

Post by Desmond »

The Jodorowsky Films YouTube channel contains recorded Tarot readings by Alejandro Jodorowsky, a legendary avant-garde filmmaker, tarot reader, and psychomagic guru. As part of his Indiegogo campaign to raise money for the film adaptation of his fictionalized autobiography Endless Poetry, he included a personal tarot reading as a reward for contribution ... then made good on his promise by posting an insane amount of video responses on his YouTube channel. These videos are a goldmine of technique by a master of his craft.

The following video is one of my favorites. A contributor named Giuseppe did not pose a question so Jodorowsky used it as an opportunity to provide him (and us) with a Tarot Lesson containing a brief and valuable overview of his approach to the Tarot of Marseilles.

DISCLAIMER: The imaginary solutions contained in the tarot intend to give you the means for sabotaging reality through poetic action only. Any reliance you place on such imaginary solutions for reasons other than poetical is therefore strictly at your own risk. (EE)

I don't understand Italian unfortunately. I'd have loved to understand what he is saying ! Jodorowsky is such am amazing man - I don't know how it's possible to accomplish so much in the field of arts as he has.
Rumi was asked “which music sound is haram?” Rumi replied, "The sound of tablespoons playing in the pots of the rich, which are heard by the ears of the poor and hungry." (haram means forbidden)
