There are only three days left to listen to a 20 minute BBC broadcast of a reading of the newly discovered tarot short-story by Anthony Burgess – here. Burgess wrote “Chance Would Be a Fine Thing” in the early 1960s but couldn’t find anyone willing to publish it. The story is about two middle-aged women and their ill-fated experiments with Tarot cards. Otherwise, you will have to wait for it to be published in 2013. Burgess appeared to have a deep interest in tarot, owning several decks and having designed one of his own. He is known to have read cards at a village fete in the 1950s disguised as ‘Professor Sosostris the famous clairvoyant’ (an obvious reference to T.S. Eliot’s poem “The Wasteland”). Read more about the story here. (Thanks to Fiona Blount.)
Check out Woody Allen’s new movie (opening the end of September) that features a tarot reader (even if she is bogus, it’s great humor). (Thanks to Jennifer SwampWitch Johnson).
Music Video with RWS deck. Anyone care to explain how the reading relates to the storyline? (Thanks to John McBride.)
This music video features the Thoth Tarot laid out on a lazy susan (good idea!) at 2:45.
Wow! This is Kreative Key Productions‘ powerful contribution to the Multi-dimensional New Music Initiative, the Twelve Days Project, in which they created a video to go with The Dreamscapes Project [band’s name] song, “Titanic.” The video director, Kristin Pavelski, explained their use of tarot:
“The tarot cards were brought into the piece to portray this continuing repetitious behavior the characters go through. Tarot, being a divination tool, easily reflects events in one’s life, at any given time. This piece starts with The Lovers card, as both characters are introduced. The next card played is the 8 of Cups which signifies a man leaving behind success . . .”
Read more about the tarot imagery in the video and the creative project here. Name the tarot deck featured in this video.
The images are from Joanna Powell-Colbert’s self-published Gaian Tarot Deck, and the song is written and sung her husband, Craig Olson – find out about them here.
Brief views of the RWS deck near the beginning.
I thought I had this posted, but it seems not. All the “Tarot Music Videos” now have their own category—view them all by clicking on the category above or to the left.
Here’s another Donnaleigh tarot music video discovery. The tarot reading starts just after 2:30. Can you ID the deck? Enjoy.
In this music video the cards used are Wahrsagekarten – a style of cartomancy deck found in Germany and Eastern Europe. (Thanks to Donnaleigh.)
