The Steampunk Tarot by Barbara Moore
I wanted to write so much more in that The Steampunk Tarot, as this is one of my favourite decks, but I was limited by how long I could The
Steampunk Tarot that piece.
So here, I would like to take a more in depth look The Steampunk Tarot The Steampunk Tarot and explain why I believe The Steampunk Tarot is
the best of all the Steampunk Tarot decks out there. This is a deck that surprised me by how much I liked it. It is based on steampunk.
Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction, which has its roots in many of the science fiction writers of the Victorian era. There are several tarot
The Steampunk Tarot that take their inspiration from steampunk, but this is my favourite one from that genre. It does appear to be rather dark
when one first sees it, but the images are in fact incredibly detailed. Furthermore, even though it may be considered The Steampunk Tarot be a
novelty tarot deck, it is actually based on the classic Rider-Waite and as such is suitable for a tarot reader at any level, even beginners.
In fact, there is a book that comes along with the deck that is jam packed with information that is particularly useful for those just beginning their
journey with the tarot and makes for a very interesting read no matter how experienced a reader you may be. You can take a look at those images
in the video at the bottom of the page. I love that some of the cards are not The Steampunk Tarot readable using the Rider-Waite system, but
actually build on those meanings, making reading them even easier and thus enhancing the messages one receives from a reading.
If you have been working with the Rider-Waite system, you will see the same meanings, themes and archetypes in this deck. I want to share with
you a couple of my favourite cards and show how the meanings have been interpreted.
I prefer this depiction of the Devil to that shown in the Rider-Waite and you can read the meaning of the latter in Devil The Steampunk Tarot Card
Meanings. The meaning of the Devil is very clear in the Steampunk Tarot; we are keeping the situation going.
Just like the Rider-Waite, here we see a huge menacing beast looming over two people. The difference here is that the beast is not a horned devil,
but an automaton and the people are not chained, but attached to strings like puppets which the metallic monster is controlling. But is it really an
automaton? It is not functioning on its own, not really. The person on the left is using a spanner to tighten a bolt at the base of the beast and the one
on the right is stoking the fires that power it.
If they both just stopped their maintenance, the beast would stop and they would not be in its control. But this thing — even if it started innocently
and with the very best intentions — now The Steampunk Tarot merely to be constantly fed. The Rider-Waite Two of Pentacles shows a man
juggling a pair of pentacles within a lemniscate which is the symbol for Infinity, with a The Steampunk Tarot sea behind him, bringing in the
emotional element.
The Steampunk Tarot takes the meaning of balance further in its depiction of the Two of Pentacles. The woman here is not juggling anything, but
she must maintain balance in her position on the pennyfarthing bicycle she is riding.
The water represents the emotions behind our need to maintain balance. Do a quick reality check in your life. Do you really need to The

Deck Review: The Steampunk Tarot | Tarot Elements
The darkly hued cards have a realistic mix of Victoriana, magic and The Steampunk Tarot in the tarot scenes, with tarot cards themselves featuring
in several cards. I am not a gamer, nor have I ever been. This particular world flew way under my radar! In her introduction, Moore notes that
anyone with a penchant for sci-fi, and anything in Victorian clothing, will more than likely feel at home in this world. She also notes that while
steampunk has its roots in the past, it continues to evolve in response to changes within our society.
I was interested to see that the seeds of the steampunk movement came from Victorian era writers such as Jules Verne, Mary Shelley, and H.
Moore also notes The Steampunk Tarot the setting for these worlds was traditionally Victorian London, but that this is changing. The deck comes
packaged with a companion manual. The one quibble that I have with the packaging is that while a white pasteboard box is included to house the
deck, it would have been much nicer if the deck had come in a box of its own.
The box is done in tones of brown and gold, with an illustration of the Queen of Pentacles on the front which very much reminds me of Barbara
herselfand info about The Steampunk Tarot book on the back.
This The Steampunk Tarot indeed the Tarot at work! I am going to do something a little different here. She notes that all genres of decks The
Steampunk Tarot our current struggles and concerns as a culture. I have to agree with her here.
While this deck will not be a major reading deck for me, I will use it to push the envelope in reading, especially when information may be coming,
but is not flowing as smoothly as I would like to see. The new perspective that a non-traditional deck gives us is worth its weight in gold!
This is a chapter in any book where I will say take with you what works, and leave the rest behind. There is good information here on reading the
Tarot, but nothing is ever written in stone.
What Moore does do is make you think, which is the most important thing one can do when reading the Tarot. I loved her suggestions that when
practicing reading read for an imaginary querent Seekerpretend that a celebrity has asked for a reading, or use the Court Cards as people to read
for. While defining the Major Arcana are representing the theme of the story, and the Minor The Steampunk Tarot as the scenes and actions that
carry out the theme, the Court Cards are seen as the people living, experiencing, and animating the themes, scenes and settings.
What is so very cool about the Difference Engine is that it incorporates the outcome card from the previous spread! I loved this idea! There are
gears in the background, with the icons for the suits of Wands and Cups on the top, and the icons for the suits of Swords and Pentacles on the
bottom.
The backs are not reversible. The Pips numbered cards show the number and suit in text across the bottom of the card, while the Court Cards
show the title and suit across the bottom of the card. The artwork in this deck is digital, and just amazing! The imagery is consistent The
Steampunk Tarot the deck, and features mechanical devices and gears of all kinds.
The Steampunk Tarot Magician, The Steampunk Tarot me, is a card that is a bit off. We see a male figure holding a cup in his right hand, and a
sword, pointed down, in his left hand.
The Steampunk Tarot wand lies on the floor at his feet, where he stands in the middle of a pentagram. This is the first card where we see the
lemnescate, which The Steampunk Tarot this deck literally glows! Very cool! I also have a problem with the Empress, who is lying on a couch
looking a bit wanton.
The Emperor is appropriately reserved, and the Lovers is a gorgeous card showing a young The Steampunk Tarot holding hands, with an angel
above 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.
The Hermit is very cool, with his lantern that glows, and appears to be smoking! 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. The
Hanged Man has his arms outstretched over his head, but The Steampunk Tarot leg is The Steampunk Tarot, so the imagery still works. Death is a
female figure, wearing white with black wings, riding a brown horse and carrying a scythe. There is a male figure behind her, with his back to her.
This image works, if you stay with it long enough.
I adore the Devil, which shows a mechanized being running completely amok! The lightning struck Tower is another well done card that carries its
message well. The Moon carries the traditional imagery of the moon in the background, the twin towers, and the crab. And the two animals. The
Sun is also a solid representation of its energy, with a young The Steampunk Tarot holding hands in front of a fence with sunflowers behind it, a
white dog at their feet.
One of the cards that I was ambivalent over was the Fool. Showing a chimney sweep in a tall hat, with The Steampunk Tarot dog at his feet, I see
more the court jester than the Fool. And yes, in many ways they serve the same function. 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 The Steampunk Tarot.
The Ace of Wand is incredibly powerful, The Steampunk Tarot 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 King of Wands The Steampunk Tarot looks a bit like a sneaky stage magician, standing behind his throne and looking out at the reader.
A male and a female figure are standing, facing each other. 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. Along the same note is the Six of
Swords. The Page of Swords shows a female figure in uniform, standing, with a sword in her right hand resting on the groundher left had on her
hip. A baton hangs at her side.
The Steampunk Tarot the background we see an air balloon. The Two of Pentacles shows a female figure riding a pennyfarthing bicycle Incredibly
high front tire, much smaller back tire. I love the way the lemnescate is worked into the image by acting as the chain between the wheels! Last, but
not least, the Queen of Pentacles.
I would not mess with this lady! This is a theme deck, and will not be for everybody. The imagery is very well done, and some people will collect it
just for that. The Steampunk Tarot accompanying manual is also well done, making the use of the cards a little easier especially in the case of a
reader, like myself, that does not necessarily connect with the imagery.
It is not a learning The Steampunk Tarot, but can certainly be used to good advantage The Steampunk Tarot mid-level or advanced Tarot readers.
