Where the past and future converge . . .
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.
Created by award-winning tarot expert Barbara Moore and brilliantly brought
to life by artist Aly Fell, The 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.
“Delightful! The illustrations should appeal to steampunk
afficionados/-as of all stripes and flavors. I particularly like the "Devil”
card represented by a mechanical demon gone horribly rogue in a laboratory. Hey,
we've all been there…And since it's not intuitively obvious by the
description, this item comes with booklet AND deck." kwikitart (user

About the Author
In the early 1990s, at a party, someone put a tarot deck in Barbara's hands;
she's held on tightly ever since. Tarot provides just enough structure so that
we don't get lost as we explore the mysteries, plumb our dark corners, and
locate our North Stars.
Barbara has been reading and writing for as long as she can remember.
She's published a number of books on tarot, including Tarot for Beginners,
Tarot Spreads, The Steampunk Tarot, The Gilded Tarot, The Mystic Dreamer Tarot,
and Tarot of the Hidden Realm. Writing is solitary work and is relieved by
teaching tarot at conferences around the world. Barbara also loves working
directly with clients, helping them uncover guidance and insight in
the cards.
