The inaugural issue of The Discombobulator invites readers into a world where tarot, myth, magic, and artistic imagination converge. Published only twice a year, this beautifully designed collectible magazine explores the liminal spaces between scholarship and mysticism, storytelling and symbolic revelation. Within its pages, readers will discover essays on tarot history, magical practice, visionary art, folklore, divination, philosophy, and esoteric creativity. From the founding vision behind the Tokyo Tarot Museum to reflections on Baba Yaga, shamanic dreaming, and the mystical labyrinths of Gustav Meyrink, each contribution opens a doorway into a different symbolic landscape. Issue N.0 features an extraordinary gathering of voices from across the international tarot and esoteric community, including Sasha Graham, Laetitia Barbier, Emily Carding, Andrea Aste, Krystina Stonesword, Karen & Tassia Currie, and many more. The result is a publication that feels both timeless and contemporary—part art object, part magical journal, part invitation into deeper imagination. With its lush visual presentation, thoughtful editorial vision, and rare blend of artistic and esoteric inquiry, The Discombobulator is a publication made not simply to read, but to keep.
