Superhero meets tarot — somewhere in the future!
Egypt Urnash’s delightful parade of tarot characters is rooted in the Rider-Waite deck, with a nod to Crowley’s variations. From there, however, The Tarot of the Silicon Dawn takes flight. Creative license becomes humor, then irreverence as The Suit of Void is added, modern technology is incorporated, and the landscape becomes more sci-fi than occult. Surprising, sometimes shocking, the deck doesn’t stray completely from the original Golden Dawn symbolism. What is consistently added is emotion. Each character radiates an emotional state as if it were caught on camera by the paparazzi. Altogether there are ninety-nine cards, each one more intriguing than the last.
