The Tarot Card Deck Created by Salvador Dalí

4 hours ago

The Tarot has been used by both charlatans and brilliant thinkers, including artists like W.B. Yeats and Alejandro Jodorowsky.
Jodorowsky views the Tarot as a language about the present, not for predicting the future, emphasizing its artistic and symbolic appeal.
Salvador Dalí designed his own Tarot deck in the 1970s, initially commissioned for a James Bond film, but continued independently.
Dalí's Tarot deck reflects restraint and reverence, blending surrealism, occult symbols, Christian iconography, and classical art.
The deck includes Dalí's recurring motifs like roses, flies, and bull heads, and he features his own face as the Magician card.
First published in a limited edition in 1984, Dalí's Tarot deck has been reissued and praised for enhancing the Tarot's esoteric meaning.
The Tarot experienced a resurgence in the 1970s, partly due to books and the occult interests of the counterculture.
