The Tarot of Marseilles<\/em> was first created in northern Italy in the 15th century. After centuries of obscurity, it became an intregal part of the esoteric, and diabolical, system of the spiritualist and magician Eliphas Levi and has since influenced the likes of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and The Great Beast Aleister Crowley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Fool<\/em> is the first of a Wunderkammer \u2013 \u2018cabinet of curiosities’ \u2013 poetry trilogy (inspired by visionary & esoteric science, history & culture and in particular the poetry of Miroslav Holub<\/a>). It will be followed by The Mechanical Turk<\/em> and Tatlin’s Tower<\/em>.<\/p>\n
