Pholarchos TarotCreated by: Carmen SorrentiPublished & Distributed By Arnell's Art
 
This is a powerful deck created from an artist's free spirit and well-travelled, imaginative dreamworld. A thoughtful and compelling offering that invites those of us open to its visions, to explore the deepest parts of our psyche. I am delighted and honored to be part of the production and distribution of Carmen Sorrenti's intriguing work.

Deck Set Details
The sturdy cards have a soft sheen and are of good size, comfortable for shuffling and seeing details. Black borders set off the powerful art elegantly. The card backs have a lovely winged spirit, connected to the Hermit card's symbology (not reversible, shown towards bottom of this page).
The 40 page, soft covered book is a captivating companion. Both deck & book (3.5 x 5 in) fit snuggly in the 2 piece box. The booklet shares poetic passages of Carmen's imaginings along with her deep understanding of Tarot, alchemy, mythology, dreamwork and astrology. The booklet has color images of the Sun and Moon as well as a few full-page color images scattered amongst her musings and descriptions. In the introduction Carmen shares a bit of her personal journey and inspirations for creating this deck. Here's a snippet:

The mythic imagination is expansive, able to hold contradiction, mystery, metamorphosis. The imaginal is real and needs tending—it is our relation to it that can be more or less fantastical. Humans have always looked to myth, dream, theater, story to find a sense of meaning and guidance. Prediction can be diminutive while story opens understanding and possibility, a way of working with one’s destiny and patterns. Liz Greene reflects that “like all symbolic systems, tarot is about patterns rather than events”. These cards are an attempt to open inspiration, a possible experience of an archetype that invites personal investigation into life’s depths.
 
Alchemical language is scattered through the cards, as is its fundamental sense of timing signaled but not dictated by the planets measuring the sky. This is a world of correspondences and how could the soul not be part of this communal language? Within this, according to passion and inclination, alchemists have always taken the freedom to experiment with their art when seeking to make gold or an authentic self.
 
The booklet is written in an evocative, poetic style that invites us to ponder and muse over card meanings, perhaps finding ourselves within them or discovering new perspectives. 
 
About Carmen, the creator : 
Carmen Sorrenti was born in Positano, Italy, where she grew up with an Australian mother and a gang of international artists. Her early food consisted of mystical Persian poetry, Hungarian cartoon strips, singing drag acts and a host of different languages.
After training at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London UK, she toured with theater companies, worked at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin, played in Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York and opposite John Turturro in Secret Passage to name a few. Her favorite experience on stage was playing Philomele in Wertenbaker’s The Love of the Nightingale for Theatre Melange ...such encounters with Greek tragedy developed her interest in mythology, which she further investigated with studies at Liz Greene’s Centre of Psychological Astrology.
Her expanding research led her to unearth her childhood passion for paint and poetry. She spent years experimenting, putting Shakespeare on canvas rather than on stage, following her golden thread through the labyrinth. Carmen holds a certificate in dream work from Scott Sparrow at the DreamStar Institute and she leads workshops on dreams, talismanic art and tarot.
She has contributed to various publications including painting book jackets. Her deck’s Moon card won the Premio Giorgione for Alchemical Painting. She was also selected as a Top Ten Artist for the New York magazine ~ Art511mag.

Along with the Pholarchos Tarot deck, the original paintings became available at various galleries and special events 2018 - 2019: Algonquin Club and SoWa as well as Gold Coast Gallery, (Boston, MA) and a month long exhibit in Rome, Italy. A Pop-Up event is in the works for Milan in 2019. Visit Carmen's site for updates and upcoming events.
