In these 2 volumes Enrique gathers fresh voices and sharp tongues
to speak of the art of Tarot as the art of living magically.
Forty-seven tarot luminaries (readers, historians, philosophers,
magicians, and scientists alike) gather here to offer unique
perspectives on what we can think of as divination with bones,
human bones. Artists, deck creators, and modern-day neo-platonists
follow Enrique's lead, letting themselves be enchanted by the piper
at the gate of games. Some of the central questions that Enrique
deals with are: do we read for the symbol, or the image? Do we read
for the narrative that the cards create or their potential for
transformation? Do we read for the plot, the poetry, or the formal
properties? We find Enrique holding the torch and asking everybody
the same questions: how do we experience the tarot? Through
symbolic readings or through interacting with the image? While it
is clear that he goes with the latter, he gives everyone a chance
to state their preferences. But he doesn't stop there. He wants to
see what the argument is for such preferences. What are the
motivations in considering where images take us? How do the images
do that? Why do we go to fortunetellers? My own contribution to
this is to suggest that we read cards for the magic of narrative.
We go to fortunetellers to see others play with our lives. Here are
47 of them. -- CAMELIA ELIAS, "HE RECO ME: ENRIQUE ENRIQUEZ'S
POETICS OF DIVINATION"
