Creator - Jean Huets, Norbert Losche
DATE PUBLISHED: November 2011
The Cosmic Tarot, with its fascinating, intricate images, reflects all that the tarot has been, and all that it can be. Its symbolism ranges freely through time, from ancient Egypt to present-day Europe. We can identify with the human figures, whether they are in the costume of the pharaohs or in modern business suits. Noble or abject, wise or enchained in folly, free spirited or snared in materialism and decadence, the people on the deck show us ourselves in the midst of life. Both the familiarity and the mystery of the figures draw us in, into ourselves, into pondering the questions that recur over and over in our lives.
The pen and ink artwork, colored with muted pastel, create a deck full of imagery that is both appealing and accessible to all tarot readers. For each of the 78 cards, the booklet by Norbert Lösche, provides interpretations on the individual level, the community, and the cosmos. Several sample card layouts are also described.About Norbert LöscheThe creator and artistic designer of the Cosmic Tarot was born in 1951 and currently lives in Aachen, Germany. He is a self-taught artist. He originally began his professional life as a surveyor, then studied the history of art before taking up painting. It was an interest in the esoteric that led him to the tarot -- an interest which found the perfect means of expression in the creation of the Cosmic Tarot.Also available: Spanish Cosmic Tarot.
