I love this deck! Paired with this book:

It's so much fun to learn and build a relationship with your deck. I have had this deck before, and it was just me using the included book. That approach didn't seem to fit how I PERSONALLY saw the cards so I couldn't understand why I wasn't learning and kinda gave up on the deck after a while. So I didn't learn much (with any deck until I found this book, because I kept trying to apply somebody else's definitions to a card deck I was using. Which just doesn't work for me.) just kept trying to memorize the stuff.
Also, my experience with the deck is it's really snarky (in a good way). One of the exercises is to take the "minor" arcana, separate them into their houses, then try to read by just looking at the pictures what each card could possibly be doing or mean by putting yourself into the picture. I'm very good at that and was having fun with the wand suite but then decided to take a nap. After putting the wands suite under my pillow to get more information in my sleep close my eyes and what starts playing in my head but Fergalicious by Fergie which made me lose it! This has been the only deck to ever make me laugh. But never this hard because I didn't get why I was laughing, like someone cracked a joke but I'm alone in the room. Until now, now that I'm listening properly it's a song that truly suits the wands.
To me The Suite of Wands, are the entrepreneurial firey part of the deck. The inventors, the merchants, the victorious, the scrappy underdog, the start up/over-ers. You'll find all of them in the suit of wands. And they're all going out and getting something they want (violence optional). The Wands are the "go out and do/find the thing and bring it back" people. So if you think of the lyrics of that particular song (Fergalicious) not as someone trying to catch a man but someone who's starting a business (doing a thing/job) and is thinking
"Yeah I want to get to the place where everybody wants what I make, but only I get to pick and choose who gets it, cuz I'm that popular. Now I have all the power."
I Love that. It's funny to have fell asleep with that in my head. I have a wonderful working relationship with this deck, and I'm the type of person who prefers to have living tools. So even though the book that I have recommended (as to not exclude the people who don't learn that way) doesn't really see them that way. I do so I adapted the information in it.

Where the past and future converge...
With a turn of the wheel and a spin of the cog, the oracular machinery lumbers into action. The curtains slowly draw back; the time has come to reveal your destiny.
Created by award-winning tarot expert Barbara Moore and brilliantly brought to life by artist Aly Fell, The Steampunk Tarot deck offers a glimpse of the future through a lens to the past. Retooling the gears of the Rider-Waite tradition, each card's intricate artwork depicts a scintillating fusion of man and machine, nature and technology, science and alchemy, romance and fashion. The included manual offers tips, original spreads, and guidance in card interpretation.

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2023
Beautifully nuanced deck! The fluid yet mechanical aesthetic of retro-tech/Steampunk style is well-expressed in every illustration, sometimes drifting into the Art Deco here and there. Aly Fell's artistic talent and stamina is to be praised: maintaining a theme yet keeping every composition original is no small feat. Every card has an interesting twist to the classic Rider-Waite-Smith style deck - one that adds subtle yet rich layers to interpretation. There is also a strong feminine presence in the illustrations, all the Pages and 3 out of 4 Knights are women, as are many of the classically male characters in the Minor Arcana. Barbara Moore's accompanying Steampunk Tarot Manual is a full-size book written in her delightfully approachable style. More than skeletal descriptions of the cards, Moore invites the reader to get to know the character of the card personally. Originally, I purchased this deck to be a clarifying deck, but quickly it became my go-to for my personal readings. As you may be able to tell in the pictures, the edges of the cards have been well-loved since purchase; the cardstock is an average weight glossy cardstock, thick enough to "riffle" without permanently bending out of shape. Overall this deck has been a compelling addition to my collection - a joy to work with!
