Can you chat me what "The Tarot of the Sevenfold Fascination is about? It sounds very intriguing. Is it based on a Fascination Tradition? The art I saw looks very beautiful as well.
ROBERT:
I started on "The Tarot of the Sevenfold Fascination "in 2001. At agricultural show, it consists forlorn of the Hoodwink, the 21 trumps, the ace and two of hard cash, the ace of swords, the ace of dishware, and the ace of staffs. I after that end a set of the Hoodwink and Trumps printed enormous with interpretation in the restrictions and best ever done in a calligraphic script. I end this for my reasonable in the Crafts and Folk Art Museum in LA in January, 2010. I ended 17 high prints of these and they were the premier bend of the performance. They are after that included in my book based on the reasonable, "The Fool's Journey: the Forgotten, Art, and Symbolism of the Tarot".
The deliberation for the deck came as soon as I was looking at the paintings of 19th century English Pre-Raphaelite the person responsible for Burne-Jones. Burne-Jones and the Pre-Raphaelites held that art was a spiritual or magical endeavor and in the direction of this end they formed a mystical brotherhood of artists highly seasoned to recapturing the frankness of the art of the out of date Renaissance-the extraordinarily immense time that gave us the Tarot. In oodles ways they lined the way in England for the Blond Commencement. Burne-Jones, in precise, based his tall female beauties and dismal heroes on the paintings of Botticelli and Michelangelo, two artists whose works are considered preliminary examples of Reappearance Neoplatonic theology. I noticed that Burne-Jones painted some of the extraordinarily emblematic statistics that are found in the Tarot such as Silliness, Temperance, and the Joystick of Fluke. I eternally dear his sample of painting and I wanted to set the Tarot deck for him that he seems to have unsuspectingly started.

As the deck progressed, in any case single enamored with the beauty of the sample, I found that it was the develop machinery to intonation all of the insights that I had developed inside the variety of the Tarot and its mystical statement. It executive me to walkway the gap and synthesize the Reappearance things spoken in the ground-breaking Tarot with the broader typical interpretations of folks images that were spread by 19th century occultists.
The name of the deck comes from my belief that the Western shape of seven virtues, is a yogic shape fated to bleach the seven personification centers, which awaken the whatsoever stand on end, and that have been set in the West at smallest number of from the time of Pythagoras (the 6th century BC). The Nature card, in precise, represents the incorruptibility Good judgment, who is the culmination of the four cardinal virtues. The other three virtues: Temperance, Toughness, and Justice, were considered the parts of Good judgment, and that fact helps to convert why the three are high-class indisputably illustrated in the Tarot. Good judgment as Sophia (the Sense of God) was after that the mother of the three Christian virtues: Prestige, Opportunity, and Munificence. Good judgment symbolizes the enlightenment that is achieved as soon as the virtues have end their jobs and brought each personification main happening assortment and health.

I went to an reasonable of Burne-Jone's work in Burmingham as soon as i lived in England. His work is equally spectacular. I can see why you would be emotional by him. He after that did so much! In England even some of the slender secure churches have stained-glass windows by Burne-Jones. That is a develop medium for his work with the light coming before. Turn up to pin down of it--your work would make shocking fouled pane.

I use to be a fouled pane learner for about a go out with as soon as I was in the early hours out of college in the 1970s.
Burne-Jones did a lot of fouled pane in the US after that.
I did a search to find some of his pieces and saw some great ones in Boston and Delaware. But it turned out that his in the early hours US folder was in the Episcopal Religious correct in the environs of in Saugerties anywhere I carry on.

I average to assay high-class about symbolism with you
and how you find your deliberation in other arts be devoted to painting and movies and magic.
I don't know no matter which like:
Is present-day a mystical unity concerning your tarot themes?
Is present-day an alchemy in the art of Burne-Jones as present-day is with vampires?
Expound is thoroughly a interleave concerning vampires and the PreRaphaelites.
Did you know that John Polidori who wrote "The Vampyre," was
D.G. Rossetti's uncle? Did you know about the vampiric myth that grew up about Lizzie Siddal?
I have a draft deficient in print about that.
In the role of about the Grail legend? Is that part of your alchemy as it is of Burne-Jones?
Your themes of Saints and Angels -- how do they fit in? Expound is a Gothic seal to your
work busy as a whole I pin down.

"Robert District":"The Tarot of the Sevenfold Fascination"
ROBERT:
These are good questions and I will try to perseverance them as best as I can.
I sensation that present-day is a unity timetabled all of my Tarot decks. At in the early hours peek, this may not be get to the same extent my in the early hours three decks: "The Alchemical Tarot, The Angels Tarot, "and the "Tarot of the Saints," were based on Western mystical and religious themes, and hence with the effort of "The Buddha Tarot" and "The Vampire Tarot", I seemed to be itinerant original and original notwithstanding from that limb.
BUT, MY Fantasy FROM THE Starting WAS TO Recover THE Particularized Clairvoyant Send out THAT WAS Articulated BY THE TAROTS 15TH CENTURY CREATORS AND TO Take captive WAYS OF EXPRESSING THAT Sense BY ILLUSTRATING ITS Phone TO Arrived Myths OR Clairvoyant SYSTEMS.
My "Buddha Tarot" is not point about Buddhism but how it is precise to Western mystical traditions and how this analogy helps us to untouchable understand our own traditions. My" Vampire Tarot," which whereas it was point published in arrears go out with, was actually the the twinkling of an eye deck that I began late "The Alchemical Tarot, "is about "Dracula" and how this story is based on the Grail title which was one to the out of date influences on the Tarot, and that this story in turn grew out of the shamanic practice of personification convalescence.
I filch that Edward Burne-Jones was a mystic and that his paintings were his alchemical practice. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which he belonged to, was founded in 1848 by a group of artists in England who came out of the Dreamy bounce and do a fantasist sleight of hand for the art of the Compassion Ages. They wanted to grasp the frankness and outspoken zeal of the works twisted until that time the time of the Reappearance painter Raphael (1483-1520). A time as soon as paintings were held to have magical remedial powers, were hand-me-down in rituals to heal and protect cities, and were the deliberation for pilgrimages. They held that their art may well encourage their audience to a major capable assert and defuse the illnesses brought about by industrialization.
Burne-Jones was a the twinkling of an eye age group tentacle of this bounce and the art poet Ruskin labeled his transformation the Mythic Line up. He dedicated on a mythic Form or Arthurian world occupied by tall, pale, beautiful heroines or femme fatales, and such as beautiful unyielding heroes. He was a elevated fasten on the Symbolist painters that became maturity in the rest of Europe at the end of the 19th century and helped interweave the nature that led to the revival of occultism.

In the direction of the end of his life, beginning in 1881, Burne-Jones worked on a large frieze,"The Rest of Arthur in Avalon." Hip this time he after that twisted a notable of works depicting the title of Emperor Arthur, with a series of tapestries (1890-1891) fated for Morris ">escaped to Avalon.
I didn't know that Polidori, the in the early hours screenwriter of a Vampire words, was D.G. Rossetti's uncle. Rossetti, of course, was Burne-Jones' lecturer and was a elevated fasten on his sample. But the vampire part comes out of the extraordinarily Dreamy bounce, with its development with the Compassion Ages, the nonsensical, and the occult, that gave rise to the Pre-Raphaelites. I filch that the pre-Raphaelites and Burne Jones in precise influenced Bram Stoker. In "Dracula", Stoker twisted, a strong beautiful heroine, numerous femme fatales, and a group of heros that were frankly knights -characters that were precise to Burne-Jones's statistics. I conventional this by incorporating a Pre-Raphaelite sample in my illustrations for my Vampire Tarot. Accurate of the statistics are based on photos of the serious Pre-Raphaelite give Jane Morris; for guide, the Mina trump.

I love the Jane Morris paintings. She had a very immersed, unforthcoming seal that true folks mystic images of women.
ROBERT
Rossetti in the early hours wife, Lizzie Sidall, was the artist's preliminary give and in nastiness of their class differences he married her in 1860. Between his saying and corroboration she after that became an the person responsible for. By 1862, Lizzie feared that her spouse was looking for a younger deliberate. In the rear her teenager was stillborn and she became in the family way over she was unproductively disparaging. She lasting suicide by plunder an stuff yourself of laudanum. Swallow with smarting and fantasist morals, Rossetti located a book containing the forlorn copies of his poems in her silent. In the rear seven verve he had the twinkling of an eye thoughts and had her exhumed so that he may well state this book. Her heart was held to have been in develop complaint. Her red hair had continued to pass on even though she was dead and now broad the casket framing her and creating a time-honored in arrears reveal. The image of the beautiful dead Lizzie restricted in her appetizing hair captured the nationalized invention and led to the rumors that she was actually undead. Red hair in itself is on a regular basis link with vampires. Stoker was instinctive to have been influenced by this arrive as soon as he wrote the deem with Lucy beautifully laid out in her casket.

Burne Jones' son, Philip Burne-Jones, was after that a painter, but his forlorn well set painting is "The Vampire," a feature of a femme fatale vampire diagonal better her male make an objection. The give for Philip's vampire was Mrs. Patrick Campbell, an architect who in 1893 played the lead in "The Display Mrs. Tanqueray," captured the nationalized eye, and became serious for her beauty and skill. Philip on sale her for a even though, showered her with calorific presents, and painted her numerous time. But for the vampire feature he worked from call to mind late she in receivership his argument by dumping him for a leading man and hence a series of other lovers. In 1897, he displayed the painting at the almanac summer reasonable of the New Balcony, a elevated list that included works by Sargent as well as Philip's gain. The length of the painting, Philip included a poem "The Vampire" by his cousin, Rudyard Kipling, that described the irrationality of a man allowing himself to be cracked by a cruel woman. This reasonable was open forlorn a few months until that time Stoker's "Dracula "was in the early hours in category.
Philp Burne-Jones:" The Vampire"
Philip's painting established good reviews in London, but bad reviews complex, late a New York show. Accurate bear down on after that ascribed his give, and suspect on the take place that led to her portrayal as a vampire became the bend of differentiate. Hip her American leg, which coincided with the American reasonable of "The Vampire," Mrs. Campbell's spokesperson played up her organization to the painting. Philip, his painting, and Mrs. Campbell all came together in Chicago and the flock had a spot day with the story. In 1907, Concierge Emerson Browne was commissioned by the entertainer Robert Hilliard to outline a mock based on the painting, which was called " A Hoodwink Expound Was." Katherine Kaelred played the vampire and the mock was carefully constructed so that it boring with a pastiche that echoed the painting. The mock was a maturity accomplishment and influenced the promising American movie concern. William Fox bought the citizenship to the mock and twisted a zoom mouthful, which stared Theda Bara. This personality as a cruel femme fatale, which Bara continued to mock in better 40 movies, earned her the tag " the vamp." As you can see, Pre-Raphealites, vampires, and maturity invention and culture are all densely attached.
