The Cosmic Tarot was first published by FX Schmid in 1988, a Bavarian company.

Tarot des Matto by Matthias Bormann, Ewert, 1994. Matthias Bormann is a German esoteric polemicist who has written many books and appears to see society through the filter of conspiracy theories. He works in the field of alternative therapy and has formed a Thanatopsychologisches Institute. This appears to present a psychotherapy which focuses on coming to terms with death. He proclaims himself a priest of the 'mattoistischen Ordens' the Order of Fools, even issuing CD-Roms and books about this magical order. In 1994 he issued this tarot deck and book Tarot des Matto. His Fool lies tied to a bed, like a prisoner in a torture chamber, and his brain appears to be being affected by the rays from the outside world, pictured as the window. From his mouth a bubble of spirit seems to emerge perhaps in way of defiance. Bormann's world is one of paranoia and the manipulation of the individual by external State forces. Thus his Justice shows justice dispensed by a figure with a cigar, representing big business capitalism, and this is reflected in a mirror, suitable skewed at an angle to indicate bias. Bormann's art would appear to have been made with white chalk or crayon on black paper. His drawing is rather poor and the style somewhat childlike, but the images are well conceived. The concept is certainly not naïve though the execution of the artwork obviously is. Through his use of white on black, Bormann creates a disturbing space in which his tarot figures appear, and the rather clumsy and stark drawings seem to strengthen the sense of brooding menace that he appears to be trying to evoke in his Tarot des Matto. 80 cards 105x74mm.
