The Steampunk Tarot

Product Information

Each character has their own mix of skills, equipment, and expertise, and they might just have to work together to succeed. Will you trust your companions, and should they trust you? Not everyone is a hero after all. With a turn of the wheel and a spin of the cog, the oracular machinery of Barbara Moore’s Steampunk Tarot lumbers into action. Fantastically illustrated by Aly Fell, The Steampunk Tarot is an electric marriage of science and alchemy, nature and technology, human and machine. 78 evocative cards radiantly retool the images from Pamela Colman Smith’s Classic 1910 Tarot.

For example, below is the Steampunk Wisdom for 0 – The Apprentice: The Hermit is very cool, with his lantern that glows, and appears to be smoking! The Wheel of Fortune is three gears within a larger gear – nicely done! Justice carries nice imagery (the female figure stands between two pillars, with mechanical scales in front of her. One hand is at her side, while the other is out,,, palm up, with Tarot cards appearing to fall from it. This card just does not resonate with me.

I was also intrigued with the sometimes androgynous nature of the Knights and other cards such as the middle figure in the 3 of Cups. Moore says: “one thing you should not pay too much heed to is gender. The gender used in the card is not an absolute indicator of the gender of the person represented.” In my own readings, I have found this to be a good mindset as often males have feminine characteristics and vice versa. The Eight of Cups is soooo steampunk! We see a female figurein the forefront, goggles on her head. Behind her is a mechanical mechanism, with eight arms outstretched, an upright cup on each arm. Soooo H.G. Wells! Along the same note is the Six of Swords. Here we see a male and a female figure in a “flying machine”, with a big balloon over them. I adore the Chariot, which shows a mechanical vehicle with a female figure, standing, goggles on her head, one hand steering the vehicle and the other holding a beautiful blue parasol. Looks very “Mary Poppins” to me, but the parasol is actually supposed to be “steampunked” (modified with amazing gadgets and technologies, making it a useful weapon. Either way, it’s a great card!in this new spiritual culture there is a struggle to find balance and harmony in both environment and technology. Yet wisdom and direction can be gained from this interaction of energies – guidance that resonates in our world of today. The Steampunk Tarot: Wisdom from the Gods of the Machine box text.

The Hierophant I adore, with its image of a grandfatherly figure, seated, with books to one side, and a young boy and girl sitting raptly at his feet, crossed keys between them. The Ace of Wand is incredibly powerful, showing a mechanical hand grasping a wand with growth on one end. The Six of Wands is another powerful card, with a soldier riding a mechanical horse, carrying a lance with a wreath on the end, very much the victorious individual! The Victorian Steampunk Tarot is a semi-illustrated 78-card tarot from tarot author Liz Dean, who created the Art of Tarot. Each of the major arcana is a collage of steampunk-related elements, while the minors are arrangements of the suit element and symbol (Dragonflies, Bees, Beetles and Moths).

Steampunk Tarot Review by Bonnie Cehovet

The Steampunk Tarot Manual is a book that would stand against any other tarot book for sale in its own right. Explorative, creative, expansive and informative. Yes, it’s really that good. In Summary I am going to do something a little different here. Barbara has penned such a unique table of contents that I am going to include it here, verbatim:
