Steampunk Tarot Set

With a turn of the wheel and a spin of the cog, the oracular machinery lumbers into action. The curtains slowly draw back; the time has come to reveal your destiny. One hundred and fifty years ago, optimistic scientists felt that with gears powered by steam there wasn’t anything the prim and proper Victorians couldn’t accomplish. Quaint, yet astoundingly futuristic, this aesthetic is called steampunk.

Created by award-winning tarot expert Barbara Moore and brilliantly brought to life by artist Aly Fell, this steampunk tarot deck offers a glimpse of the future through a lens to the past. Retooling the gears of the Rider-Waite tradition, each card's intricate artwork depicts a scintillating fusion of man and machine, nature and technology, science and alchemy, romance and fashion. The included manual offers tips, original spreads, and guidance in card interpretation.
