Preface
How does one write a book about the Tarot? It is like trying to empty the sea with a fork.
For more than forty years, Alejandro Jodorowsky has been investigating the dynamic and
multiple aspects of the Tarot through readings, lessons, discoveries, conferences ... If it had
been necessary to transcribe this work in its entirety, we would have ended up with tens of
thousands of pages—each equally impassioned and disorganized, each touching on the
various aspects of this art that refuses to let itself be imprisoned within any kind of rigid
structure.
