The infamous and cult revered Spanish-French filmmaker, shaman Tarotist, author, graphic novelist, cartoonist, turned 95 on February 17.
Famed for his two best know. Surreal archetypal violent spiritual films El Topo and the John Lennon supported The Holy Mountain, Jodor is an auteur.
He claims he created modern phone tarot readings by doing these live when working on UK Pirate Radio ship in the 1960’s. He creates his own unique system of tarot with the Marseilles Tarot.
His archetypal and surreal films El Topo were the first midnight alternative film raves.
John Lennon gave him 1 million dollars to film his second film The Holy Mountain.
He worked with artist Moenis to do a full cartoon mock up of Dune in the 70’s which was shelved and his ideas were totally ripped off and used for the basis of Star Wars. This was documented in a film.
Jodorowsky studied shamanism with the famed Oaxacan seer Maria Sabina. He’s written books about a kind of psychological healing called psycho magic.
It’s amazing to see Jodor surviving Pluto conjunct his Natal Saturn at 28° Capricorn, this transit brings major death and transformation but because Alejandro has lived so true to his soul essence and because Saturn rules Capricorn I believe this could give him even more power strength and longevity.
