Tarology | Free Book
In Tarology Enrique Enriquez sees the Tarot de Marseille through the prism and science of pataphysics, the science of imaginary solutions. By following into the footsteps of Oulipian writers, he applies the idea of constraint and the rule of restriction to the surprisingly visual and gestural nature of Tarot.
The result is not only illuminating but also enriching for all those interested in the history of Tarot and its divinatory practices. Enriquez develops a whole new method of reading cards, which combines careful considerations of chance with choice.
By using a phenomenological and constructivist approach to the cards, Enriquez shows how the Tarot de Marseille speaks poetry and thus reveals some of our deepest concerns with language, with what we can say when we are at a loss for words.
In The Press
"EyeCorner Press has collected and published a healthy collection of EE's pataphysical tarot experiments and examples of his performance based poetic readings. Tarology is a book to inspire and confound tarot readers. Unlike umpteen tarot-how-tos or recipe books on basic card reading and manipulation of the cards, Tarology is for the truly adept tarotist or tarosophist, struck by symbol glut or associationist salad into a state of occult ennui. If your readings seem staid to the point of boredom, a bit of serious perusal of Enrique Enriquez's Tarology may nudge one out of subconscious doldrums into a wondrous state of poetic afflatus and may, at its very least, encourage tarotists to take lessons from poetry and the poets, those universal editors of the divine utterance or oracular tarot readings." - Paul Nagy, writer at Tarot Hermeneutics
