Description
The Sacred Mirrors are a journey through our physical, socio-political, and spiritual anatomy. The Sacred Mirrors Cards contains twenty-three meditation cards featuring reproductions of all twenty-one of Alex Grey's Sacred Mirrors paintings plus two additional transformative images: Oversoul and The Angel.
Grey's visionary poetry on the back of each card guides the meditator through contemplation of the image on the front, culminating in a one-word theme for reflection.
The twenty-three cards in this boxed set are intended to lead the viewer through the process of theosis—coming closer to God—by contemplating iconic archetypes and viewing oneself, each other, and the world as a reflection of the divine.
Alex Grey's two books of paintings have already achieved significant sales: Sacred Mirrors has sold 90,000 copies, and Transfigurations 25,000. His work has been exhibited globally, including the New Museum and Stux Gallery in New York City, the Chicago International Art Exposition, the London Regional Art Gallery in Canada, the Grand Palais in Paris, the São Paulo Biennial, and ARK exhibition space in Tokyo.
In 1999, the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego honoured Grey with a mid-career retrospective. His art has also appeared in diverse venues, such as album covers for the Beastie Boys, Nirvana, and Tool; Newsweek magazine; and the Discovery Channel. He resides in New York with his wife, artist Allyson Grey, and their daughter, actress Zena Grey.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Renowned figures and publications praise Sacred Mirrors for its transcendental art that fosters deeper self-realisation. Ken Wilber calls it "a direct invitation to recognise and realise a deeper dimension of our very own being." The New York Times highlights Grey's vision of humanity's striving toward cosmic unity as a remedy to spiritual malaise. Reviews note the deck's value for inner journeys and tarot readers seeking unique perspectives, while some cards are celebrated as worthy pieces of art in their own right.
