Tarot cards have been around since the Renaissance and have become
increasingly popular in recent years, often due to their prevalence
in popular culture. While Tarot means many different things to many
different people, the cards somehow strike universal chords that
can resonate through popular culture in the contexts of art,
television, movies, even comic books. The symbolism within the
cards, and the cards as symbols themselves, make Tarot an excellent
device for the media of popular culture in numerous ways. They make
horror movies scarier. They make paintings more provocative. They
provide illustrative structure to comics and can establish the
traits of television characters. The Cards: The Evolution and Power
of Tarot begins with an extensive review of the history of Tarot
from its roots as a game to its supposed connection to ancient
Egyptian magic, through its place in secret societies, and to its
current use in meditation and psychology. This section ends with an
examination of the people who make up today's tarot community.
Then, specific areas of popular culture-art, television, movies,
and comics-are each given a chapter in which to survey the use of
Tarot. In this section, author Patrick Maille analyzes such works
as Deadpool, Books of Magic by Neil Gaiman, Disney's Haunted
Mansion, Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows, The Andy Griffith Show,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and King of the Hill. The cards are
evocative images in their own right, but the mystical fascination
they inspire makes them a fantastic tool to be used in our favorite
shows and stories.
