The Victorian Steampunk Tarot
The deck combines the symbolism of classic Tarot with the aesthetics of steampunk: brass mechanisms, Gothic architecture and Victorian fashion become guides to the world of archetypes and intuition. It seems to open the secret diary of a magician-engineer, where mysticism coexists with science, and fortune-telling becomes a style.
