Product Information

Davide is an award-winning Designer, Art Director and Visionary Artist. He is also a Spiritual Teacher, Energy Master, and Explorer of Human Potential. In his personal life he is a skilled percussionist, master didgeridoo player, jump rope fanatic and ultra-runner. I love the light embryos in the Ace of Swords below! I also love how The Chariot is pulled by two comodo dragons and how the King of Wands is wearing a crown of thorns like another well-known visionary whose resurrection we recently celebrated. I adore the write-up in the Starman Tarot guide book for The Chariot which happens to be my Tarot Year Card in 2019 – Very insightful! He continues: "I remember him telling me that my art and designs were truly incredible. He described them as ‘Potent Visual Alchemy’. Strangely this didn’t fill me with any great satisfaction or sense of triumph. Instead, it simply felt as if time had caught up with itself. This event – his words – happened in 1973 and it had taken twenty years for the reality to catch up: time is simply a mechanism to stop everything happening at once. In a sense, no matter what the world threw my way to counter it, this meeting had already happened."

Ultimately for me it is about 'revelation'; to reveal something that makes people go 'oh wow, that’s a new way of seeing this'. For me beauty is an inherent quality of our reality; it is this quality that helps us to travel through life, to feel connected to something vaster than our own small story.

For me, Bowie’s music literally ignited an energy in the world that had never before been experienced. With him, it was a complete immersion experience – the art and the sounds united in a transcendental wave through our minds and bodies. While some of the images on the cards clearly depict a man or a woman, some of the characters are ambiguous as far as which sex they are. I love this because it reflects David Bowie’s gender-bending persona. Just as importantly, for me anyway, this is in line with my own personal philosophy that it doesn’t matter whether you are a woman or a man, you have both masculine and feminine qualities that you can tap into. It is appropriate to follow one's heart, and true calling, but it is immature to run away from one's obligations. When reading the tarot, it behooves us to remember that the Fool or the Sacred Clown's spirit, travels each card, twisting things around, and turning them "upside down" and/or on their head.

You are the inventor of your Self-Awareness and therefore, not the fear and desire you are reflecting on. You are the mirror upon which all imagined-self appears and disappears. He is the creator of the global bestselling Starman Tarot and produced art, designs and campaigns for some of the most innovative companies and leaders in the world, including Apple, Virgin and Sony. The essence of a new understanding and evolution of human consciousness that is guided/instructed/inspired by a facet of the Divine we can all the Starman. You can think of him/her. Bowie looked at the young boy’s art and said to him: "I can see clearly you are an artist. Can we draw something together?" De Angelis explains: "Bowie and I are now sitting together in an off-world realm, far from the illusion of Soho. We are drawing together. We find a conclusion in the drawing and I hear myself asking Bowie if I can one day create something for his record sleeves." Take a look at the 7 of Wands. “Why is he holding his position on a crumbling and unstable pillar?”“What is his real focus?”“Why the hexagrams?”“Why does he look relatively unscathed even though there’s so much chaos around him?”“Why do I see the bird, that the book describes as a vulture, as an eagle and what does that mean?” I could go on but I won’t. I’ll start to answer one of my questions. Maybe approaching the situation I’m asking about as an eagle can help overcome the “vultures”. Or maybe something has run its course and it’s on its last legs and the eagle perspective will make that clear. Or maybe getting caught up in the bird in the first place is a distraction and I need to maintain focus.Once Bowie chose someone to work with he trusted them and left them to weave their particular magic into a project. He was very open and responsive to different ideas and always up for challenging what was expected." What else influences your work? ST:Connect directly with my creative spirit. It should be fairly straightforward since we forged that connection in dreamtime already. Do not doubt this connection! ( The Starman / Magician) A lot of artists and designers seem to be drawing their own Tarot at the moment, why do you think that is? Are we looking for guidance in troubled times?

Between Geburah (Severity) and Binah (Understanding) the Great Mother on the Tree of Life, runs the Path of Cheth. This is the highest and most profound Path on the Pillar of Severity and introduces the Personality to the Supreme Spiritual Self that wraps our Soul in the Golden Armor of Protection so that the Golden Psyche can be carried through the unmanifested Universe, and/or Dark Matter and Dark Energy, without losing a Photon. The Chariot is the enclosure that holds the Soul in a state of peace, as it moves through all planes. In his BOOK OF TOKENS, Dr. Paul Foster Cases stated this about the Chariot: When I was 15 I became fascinated with Shamanism, and in particular, the realm of hallucinogenic shamanic plant medicines was rich in symbolism. I did my first peyote journey at seventeen and this profoundly changed how I viewed life. ARE YOU READY TO DISCOVER... EMPOWERING ANSWERS - ENRICHING OPPORTUNITIES - NEW DIRECTIONS - EFFECTIVE ACTIONS A Tarot reading is a magical, intuitive and liberating process. I work directly with my own Starman Tarot. A reading seeks to uncover the source-patterns that are flowing through your life. Having grown up in east London’s Walthamstow, De Angelis is now based in Bali, where he lives "a fruitarian lifestyle" (yup, that means he only eats fruit), and as well as his art and design work spends "a lot of time working with energy and movement practices".For one example, the Lovers card is simply gorgeous to look at. Around the lovers’ midsection, there is a swarm of bees. In the guidebook, the artist notes that the bees are dripping with honey, and that honey is an ancient symbol of love and fertility and was thought to be a powerful aphrodisiac. There are dozens of bees in that image. Yet, how many bees were needed to convey the symbolism: Would one bigger bee, or even a few bees, be enough? The 18th Path is called the House of Influence (by greatness of whose abundance the influx of good things upon created beings is increased) and from the midst of the investigation the arcana and hidden senses are drawn forth, which dwell in its shade and which cling to it, form the cause of all causes." ST:I constantly seek to balance the mind with the heart so that creative inspiration can gain as clear and unfettered expression as possible. ( 2 of Swords)
