The Primordial Tarot explores instinctual drives, raw emotions, and physical reactions. It gets underneath the veneer of civilization and psychology and reveals the roots of our behavior. It views humans as part of nature and all that that means, both the beautiful and terrible, the joyful and sorrowful. The powerful art seeks to destroy the boundaries of the artificial self and expose the complex core of who we are; it obliterates the boxes we use to make things neat and tidy. The Primordial Tarot isn’t a structured garden designed to delight the eyes. It is wild, savage, sometimes cruel, sometimes terrifying, sometimes deeply moving and awe–inspiring. Most of all it is always, always real.
