The Major Arkana is an editorial combining photographs of 70s Rock icons as the Major Trumps of the Tarot deck.
…the tarot is an ancient teaching disguised as a game.
The tarot is a fortune-telling device
based on universal symbols.
The tarot is an art form used for fortune telling.
The tarot is a game disguised as ancient teachings…

Draw a line from the birth of rock’n'roll in the ’50s to the moment when Rock reached its evolutionary peak and started to feed on itself with Punk Rock in the mid ’70s, everything since has more or less been an ironic pastiche of something that came before.. either a retro nod.. or a blatant copy.
