20 William Blake wrote of himself, To speak to future generations by a Sublime Allegory, which is now perfectly completed into a Grand Poem. I may praise it, since I dare not pretend to be any other than the Secretary; the Authors are in Eternity. This quote can well be applied to the limitless art, creative thought and wisdom of Leigh J. McCloskey. His body of work, the outcome of a remarkable individual quest is being introduced now as an entire system of knowledge and visual philosophy for the first time. Photograph courtesy of Ronn Moss. Leigh J. McCloskey s extraordinary work reminds us with art and inspiration, rather than in word and belief alone, that we are universes who have been taught to believe that we are stones. We are the human form divine, he says, about to blossom into infinite splendor. He considers himself a storyteller trying to tell a more loving story and give a truer vision of what being human means. It is no exaggeration that what he has manifested must truly be seen to be believed. This vision is an eternal song sung with artistry and erudition for the sake of beauty and the love of wisdom. The work of Leigh J. McCloskey reveals multidimensional worlds, archetypal languages, hieroglyphic science and immense vision. It boldly proclaims. Let the Renaissance begin with me, shall be our motto. All works of art of Leigh J. McCloskey are created by hand without the use of machine or computer.

21 Tarot ReVisioned by Leigh J. McCloskey Leigh J. McCloskey is a native Californian and a second-generation artist. He has enjoyed the patronage of a professional acting career for over twenty-five years. His success as an actor has afforded him the opportunity to work as an artist privately and deeply. He has thoroughly devoted himself to the exploration of the psyche through art. His inquiry into the deeper nature of reality and the unknown self have taken him into many extraordinary and unexpected universes of heart, mind and imagination. The archetypes of the Tarot represent one such unexpected turn. A turn that has taken seventeen years to complete, but now exists as a doorway into worlds of wonder, creativity and true imagination. This work reflects a profound and individual quest into the heart of the sacred arcana and like the search for the holy grail, reveals that its mystery is discovered only through personal dedication, conscience and knowledge based in beauty. It is to this beauty that Tarot ReVisioned responds. Tarot ReVisioned is an invitation to journey inward and in so doing to awaken the inner splendor and true freedom of being human. Archetypal mind, inner reality and creative vision are discovered only through journeying into the inner universes of the eternal imagination. Tarot is a tool, not a belief. Its genesis was and is an ongoing creative question. Its real value is that it helps an individual to examine life s myriad questions in new and creative ways. Introduction Tarot ReVisioned Evocation: Vista at the Dawn of Creation Oil on panel 84 x60 McCloskey has taken a lifelong creative journey into the heart of ancient wisdom, Tarot symbolism and archetypal reality. He now brings forth an extraordinary revisioning of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, illuminating the profound depth and perennial wisdom upon which this tradition is founded. He reveals that archetypal energies and mythic force compose each of us and constitute the multidimensional reality from which all life emerges and draws its vitality. He proves in both word and deed that archetypal awareness and creative adventure form the basis of essential selfknowledge. His drawings, coupled with the text describing each, will provide a lifetime of study for anyone who begins to read and explore their symbolism, and it will delight those who only wish to look at the illustrations. Tarot ReVisioned can be opened to any page and the reader will be met with knowledge based in beauty and wisdom.
