1975

Switzerland
Art Medium:
Pen drawings, possibly with coloured pencil, or graphics colour.
Description:
This tarot emerged from the circles around Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser, a German Rock music producer in the early 1970's. His female companion Gille Lettman, who was interested in tarot and occult science, was nicknamed 'The Starmaiden'. Kaiser was drawn into LSD drug experiences through his meetings with Timothy Leary who was at that time exiled in Switzerland. The artwork for this deck is reminiscent of the 'hippy' style found in alternative magazines of that period.
