NOTES

H. R. Giger Tarot, the Tarot of the Underworld, is a succession of paintings by the Swiss artist, designer and Oscar-award winner H. R. Giger. Baphomet introduces us to the oldest destiny of mankind, visions of birth and death, and love and hate in the drama of life. Giger̀s art is interpreted by philosopher-magician Akron. To him tarot is like an inexhaustible mine of symbols, suited to manifest Giger̀s aesthetics of apocalypse in literary style. Akron resorts to the tradition of the Tarot in order to convey the messages of Baphomet - medieval secret symbol - which is of special significance in Giger̀s work
