pomo tarot... a fun, hip deck!, June 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pomo Tarot: A Postmodern Deck for Navigating the Next Millennium (Paperback)
I really liked this deck and book. Can be used as a serious reading deck, but it's all postmodern-like! ;> Perfect for readings with cynical, hipster friends.

This was once my favorite deck., June 27, 2000
This review is from: The Pomo Tarot: A Postmodern Deck for Navigating the Next Millennium (Paperback)
Unfortunately, that was back when I had basically given up trying to understand the traditional tarot, and this system came along. The PoMo deck almost isn't tarot in the traditional sense -- a lot of the original symbolism is removed for more faithful reproduction of the artwork Williams wants to feature.
It's an excellent introduction to PostModern art and art criticsm, and a way to see that there are many different ways of interpreting the tarot. I found that once I was able to learn more traditional tarot through the "keyword" system, though, PoMo made almost no sense at all -- it's its own little universe.
The cards, btw, are both huge and flimsy: not the best combination. However, I like the art style and plan to keep my deck for its own sake.

Entertaing but don't expect to do readings with it, January 10, 2003

This review is from: The Pomo Tarot: A Postmodern Deck for Navigating the Next Millennium (Paperback)
An extraordinarily pretty, inventive, and entertaining deck. But it's not for doing readings. Worth owning though.
