Imagine a time when vast helium-fueled airships took the place of
aircraft, and where the hunger for adventure and exploration took
the human race into stranger places than we ever imagined. "The
Steampunk Tarot" imagines this in an alternate-reality tarot where
The Technomage is king and the Punk Diva is queen.
Tumble down the rabbit hole into a construction of technology,
machines, retro-art and culture, full of fantastic visions in a
time and place that realizes an alternate world to our own. The
world of steampunk combines Victoriana, the Gothic, and early
invention with a huge dash of imagination and a tremendous sense of
style. "The Steampunk Tarot" is a world apart: a nexus of opulence,
innovation and alternate world-views that is reflected in 78
scenes. More utopian than dystopian, it breeds its own thrilling
archetypes. The 22 major arcana cards are the actors at the heart
of the machine, the "deos macninae" or "the gods of the machine."
Here their primal impulses beat out the determining rhythm that
courses through every artery of the Imperium. Each of the actors in
the steampunk mysteries are like performers on the stage, their
archetypes spot-lit. Acting as mediators of the Gods of the Machine
are the 16 court cards who are the Legates of the Omniverse, or
ambassadorial representatives of the Four Leagues, comprising all
the skills that maintain the Imperium: they are the movers and
shakers--the Commander, Lady, Navigator, and Messenger, or King,
Queen, Knight and Page. They oversee the other 40 cards of the
minor arcana, who are the elemental worlds of Airships, Engines,
Submersibles and Gears, or Swords, Wands, Cups and Coins.
There are still things to discover and uncover in the Steampunk
Imperium. Many new methods of spreading and playing with tarot
cards are included, as well as methods of life-navigation by the
use of skillful questions. "The Steampunk Tarot" is an adventurous
tarot for the discerning diviner, to be appreciated both by
tarot-users and steampunk fans the world over.
