The Power of Tarot…on Music

Here’s an interesting post on the San Francisco Bay Guardian about a re-release of a 1973 double LP by Walter Wegmüller titled, “Tarot.”

 

I love the quote by the Guardian’s astrology columnist.

 

“Tarot and music are as connected as a musician with deep knowledge of the cards wants them to be. Matter is vibration solidified, and spiritual content can be translated into sounds or music as much as words or even things. Style and execution are in the hands of the artist, of course, but there is tempo in each and every of the Tarot cards, as well as pitch. The disks/pentacles are deep and rich sounds while the swords are more reedy/tinny. The wands/staves move fast, while the cups flow.”
