Light and Shadow

 

 

 

LIGHT & SHADOW is the extraordinary deck of Tarot cards designed by the brilliant German-born artist Michael Goepferd and published by Inner Traditions International. The accompanying book was written by Brian in close collaboration with the artist.

The young San Francisco artist Michael Goepferd was a virtuoso printmaker, an absolute master of many media. In seventy-eight linoleum block images bursting with life and energy, Michael Goepferd produced a Tarot deck for the ages — though he himself did not live to see its arrival in the world. In the last months of his life, supported by the unfailing love and strength of his partner Mark Kretz, and with frequent visits from Germany of his doting mother, Helga Goepferd, Michael worked with Brian on the book that would accompany the deck, submitting to exhausting taped interviews, and occupying himself with every possible decision relating to the publication of the cards. Everyone who came to know Michael was struck by his amazing talent, spiritual maturity, and love for the universe. This loving power shines out from every image of the Light & Shadow Tarot.
