Edward Gorey's Tarot Cards

[bixaorellana]

This is easily one of the most brilliant things I've seen in a long time.




“The Waltzing Mouse”
May / vertigo / loss of jewelry / a bêtise / morbid cravings / disorders of the large intestine / corruption / equivocal symptoms / a hazardous project / brawls / suicide / involuntary seclusion / shriveling

That's just a tiny taste of the perfect Goreyesque joys to be found in this deck. Read more here.

[fumobici]

That's terrific, as is almost anything Gorey.

[Deleted]

Excellent. Just finding so many possible afflictions is impressive.

[bixaorellana]

I know! sexual incomptence; loss of saliva; wispiness .... so many more

[mickthecactus]

That's me!

[chexbres]

I first heard about Gorey when I saw "Dracula" on stage in London, in the late '70's. Gorey had designed all the sets in black and white, with only one small red item on the stage in each scene - a rose, a glass of wine...
Been a fan ever since.

[bixaorellana]

Perfection!
