Reviews
n Lennon is Death. David Bowie represents the duality of the lovers. Nice. A person with more knowledge than me on the specifics of the history of rock and roll in the last fifty years will find even more meaning with the chosen ones.
In the introduction to the deck, Chris Paradis speaks of the characters on the cards: "They reside in the temple of the Juke box and their lyrics invoke love, thought, passion and comfort."
While this is not a deck I would use frequently, I can certainly envision some times when a reading such as these cards can give would be appropriate, especially at times when a more light-hearted view of the world is important. I really enjoy the sense of personal history the deck gives me, having grown up with the music of most of the musicians in this deck.
The Rock and Roll Tarot is created with digital art and images, altered and recreated in Adobe Photoshop, and with the lyrics imposed on each card. The printing is limited to 500 decks so be quick.
