Sometime in the 1990s the Swiss occultist who goes by the name Akron suggested to his countryman H.R. Giger that he create a set of tarot cards. Giger demurred, claiming a lack of time as well as a lack of interest in the subject—all the while insisting that he was “too superstitious” to take on such a project.
Giger did, however, regard tarot as an interesting venue for his artwork, and he was willing to re-purpose some of his pre-existing images as a tarot deck. The tarot deck featuring Giger’s artwork covers only the major arcana and is known as the Baphomet deck.

Thanks, Mike! I had no idea these existed.

Wow!! These are so cool!!
H.R. Giger was a genius, and it sucks that he died the way he did.

Yeah, I agree with you on that. A terrible end for my favorite artist. It should have been a triumphant ending. Something with an unusual otherworldly blast radius. Or lightning. Definitely a lot of lightning.
