The Tarot of Leonora Carrington

If you use tarot cards or are a fan of the British-Mexican surrealist Leonora Carrington, there is an exciting new book out of Carrington's tarot paintings! The Tarot of Leonora Carrington, published by Fulgur Press, has come out. A limited edition version (including the deck in facsimile) with an essay on tarot by expert Rachel Pollack, an introduction by the artist’s son, Gabriel Weisz Carrington, and essays by art historians Tere Arcq and Susan Aberth, priced up to $400, sold out within days. A limited edition of just the deck also went fast, but will be reissued and can be bought directly from the publisher in January or February. A more affordable trade edition of the book will be available in February for $50.
