The film focuses on poet and tarot reader, Enrique Enriquez. International speaker, teacher and author, Enrique is passionate about the cards.
He sees their magic everywhere, but isn’t so interested in divination or even intuition. He likes them simply for the pictures they are and the stories they tell.
In addition to the work being documented with Enrique, the film will also explore other reading styles. The filmmakers will be traveling around to interview noted experts and authors throughout the tarot community.
It’s the first documentary of its kind, and the first full-length film about tarot attempting to get a theatrical release.

Enrique is going to be joining us on Beyond Worlds Saturday, May 7th. We’ll be asking him all about the film.
She’s spent two decades immersed in Norse, African and Native American sacred traditions, cross-cultural divination, indigenous dream-work and Archetypal Psychology.
Tonight she’ll be sharing the powerful story of how The Oracle of Initiation emerged from her own resurrection after the death of her husband.
Melissa shot The Painted Body images in the deck alone, in the ancient desert landscape of arroyos, canyons, caves, and tunnels surrounding Santa Fe, New Mexico.
They’re gorgeous.
Join Donnaleigh de LaRose and I in welcoming Melissa. And learn more about her magical Oracle and it’s shape-shifting mysteries.
We’d love to see you in the chatroom! Or call in (646) 200-0765.
He liked working with an Oracle deck, saying that it had ‘a more flexible platform with fewer rules to adhere to and fewer rules to break.’
The Oracle of Visions has no one theme. Marchetti chose instead to mix faux Victoriana, theatre, and nature with his trademark jesters and masked figures.
He was trying to keep the ideas open, no one particular archetype being stamped on any one card.
Marchetti hopes that the surreal images will serve as visual triggers. Combined with a reader’s intuition and life experience, they should provide some compelling readings.
The deck comes with a full colour companion book and interactive CD with themed avatars, wallpapers and screen savers.
Here’s one of the screen savers you get with the CD. Very nice.
Spiral Light of Venus is a mixed media performance art project inspired by the Tarot.
Through film, spoken word, music and movement, these Boston artists are using the Major Arcana to reflect various stages of a journey, rites of passage and influences from the natural world.
Presently they’re focusing on themes surrounding the Fool, Magician, Empress, Chariot, Death, the Tower, the Moon and the Star.
If you’re an artist and/or Tarot-loving Bostonian who’d like to take part in the project, this is your chance. Perform, submit artwork or just get involved.
All ages are welcome to audition and/or submit work for consideration. And no previous knowledge of Tarot is necessary.
If you have a story, poem, dance piece, short film, or painting that relates to one of the themes above, contact Margaret McGilvray.
She’s also looking for grafitti artists, sculptors, and performance artists to create live on-stage during the show.
It’s scheduled for March 2011. If you want to be part of it, act now!!
Here’s a couple of slideshows Margaret put together. The first is a collection of Fool cards. The second is full of Moons.
