Londa Firenze

Londa is a Firenze, Italy based surrealist, digital artist; a mythological perspective visionary blending layers of fantasy and surrealism with seers symbolism and mystic and mythic intuition. World Of Tarot is a realm that unveils and reveals some of these visions.

KISMET

Way Of The Sword

"A Rock And Roll Divine Comedy"

Londa founded Pete Way Facebook Group January 2015 and is administrator. Pete is legendary bassist and founder of UFO & Waysted rock bands. The surrealism scene seen here was created by Londa and entitled: KISMET. On Pete Way’s birthday August 7, 2018 and inserted into the Pete Way Facebook Group.    

The Harlequin character in the right corner is contemplating an antique French tarot card that says, “La Folie ou L’Alchimiste” :  Madness or Alchemist. The other Harlequin character is gazing at dice showing in combined dots 8 & 7; Pete Way’s birthday. The crow symbolizes wisdom and ressurrection.

On The Book of Waysted is Peter Frederick Way’s initials and the anthem from Pete Way’s band WAYSTED: 

“And, the band decreed, 

You won’t get out alive. 

And, the fans cried, 

We don’t want out anyway.”

​

After seeing the release of David Bowie Starman Tarot Kit Londa was motivated to develop a few working ideas for possibly a tarot deck/kit dedicated to Pete Way based on his Harlequin style. Below are examples of cards that begun the design process by Londa in September 2018. These cards and more are available at World Of Tarot.com   

​

“LA FOLIE OU L’ALCHEMISTE”  :  MADNESS OR ALCHEMIST 

"Kismet, Way Of The Sword" Tarocchi

A Rock And Roll Divine Comedy

Kismet lies on either side of the blade disrupting surrealistic theatrical stages whilst the muse of music invokes mythological metal-gods cryptographically weaving them into a World of Tarot by Way Of The Sword.
