The Major Arcana are The Gods of the Machine and represent the heart of the Imperium. They have mostly been renamed to fit the steampunk setting, with only the Empress and Emperor retaining traditional names. Likewise the four suits have also been renamed to fit this universe, and are now The Four Leagues, which depict the four quadrants of the Imperium. Swords are now Airships, Cups are now Submersibles, Wands are now Engines and Pentacles are now Leviathans.An ENORMOUS thank you to our LlewellynCon presenters today: Sterling Moon, Carmen Turner-Schott, Lindsay Fauntleroy, and Elhoim Leafar!

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 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.

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.

Atticus Daley, an orphaned minotaur magician crawling out of the bottom of a bottle to find a sense of belonging, and his next fix. 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! 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.

However, the swords really only need removing for the machinery that pumps the heart to start beating again. This 3 of Swords offers hope.
