Yes Abraxus... He's the same man who did the movie Holy Mountain. He did also "El Topo" and "Santa Sangre". He's also the creator of the "Psychomagie" and the famous "Mystic Cabaret".
About the tarot, he's the man who wrote "The Way of Tarot". Many people think that this book is the bible of tarot. I agree with them. 578 pages about his incredible vision of tarot. There is the link (sorry, all in french) :

http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/22261519......i=405320

I met him sometime and I saw him working with the tarot. It's so amazing and incredible. He's really a tarot master.
He lives at Paris yet, and he continues to do some tarot reading in a little parisian coffee shop.
Sincerely, I think that each bizarrist and mentalist should study his work. Many things to learn from him for our art.

I don't know very well if american or english people know Jodorowsky and his work. Anyway, if you read french language, you can check on my website about his books and tarot :

The Camoin-Jodorowsky tarot is one of a few modern re-creations of the Tarot de Marseille -- the most widespread of the pre-eighteenth-century French tarots -- that reconstruct how it might have been/'should have been' before the surviving Tarot de Marseille decks, which date to the mid-seventeenth century (those of Jean Noblet -- recommended by Enrique Enriquez in its redrawing by Jean-Claude Flornoy -- and Jacques Viéville). Camoin and Jodorowsky based their tarot on that of Nicolas Conver (1760), the most well-known Tarot de Marseille pattern, and supplemented it with elements from other decks and the oral tradition. Though their inferences are more creative and less certain than they make out, it's a beautiful deck and the only modern Conver variant to use the original colour scheme rather than the more recent red/blue/yellow colours used by the well-known deck created by Paul Marteau and published by Grimaud in 1930.
