. The first tarot deck for the neotribal technopagan from an avant-garde computer revolutionary . The most revolutionary tarot deck to appear since Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot . Synthesizes classic archetypal imagery with state-of-the-art electronic wizardry to create a deck that maps the modern psyche like never before The Cosmic Tribe Tarot is the most revolutionary tarot deck to appear since Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot. Synthesizing classic archetypal imagery with state-of-the-art electronic wizardry, Stevee Postman has created a deck that maps the modern psyche like no other before. Drawing equally from nature, myth, psychedelics, and contemporary neopagan culture, The Cosmic Tribe Tarot speaks to the fears, hopes, and desires of a new generation. Without abandoning the traditional structure that has made the tarot a successful divination tool for centuries, Postman charges his deck with an erotic, mystical energy, showing that the modern tribal movement is at heart a spiritual one. Never before has a tarot so boldly reconnected the contemporary soul to the eternal cosmos.
The Cosmic Tribe Tarot has a decidedly lusty lean to it. Includes three variations on The Lovers, so that the querant may select the depiction of his/her own personal preference. This deck is a fairyland frolic through the landscape of the soul. As a tool for divination these cards provide endless possibilities for the intuitive reader to draw upon but for those who would like help, there is an illustrated guidebook complete with each divinatory meaning. With these cards he has taken a solemn and timeless tradition and imbued it with an irreverent dash of counter-culture spice. Postman's images stand unparalleled in their ability to tease the imagination and cast a glamour of enchantment for the reader. -- "MAPS, 2000"
The Cosmic Tribe Tarot is a deck for the twenty-first century, full of imagery that is beautiful, provocative, and stimulating. This deck will make you reconceive everything you thought you knew about tarot.-- "Starhawk, author of Spiral Dance and Dreaming the Dark"
The images are amazing. I recommend this deck for anyone who is looking for a modern, multicultural deck, one that glorifies the human body in all of its forms. -- "Michele Jackson, www.ArtofTarot.com"
What a beautiful deck! The Cosmic Tribe Tarot has vitality, energy, hope, and pure joy.-- "Illuminationstarot.com"
You must see The Cosmic Tribe Tarot. Every card bursts with hallucinatory power and beauty. Stevee Postman has created a deck for our time and for the ages: sensual and often humorous, yes--but also deeply potent and magical.-- "Brian Williams, author of The Renaissance Tarot, The PoMo Tarot, and The Light and Shadow Tarot"
