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.

Review
A recognition of the 'cosmic tribe' that is emerging at this turning of an age. Postman's deck is one of the first truly representative pictorials of the changing modern psyche. . . . Recommended for the open-minded and the unabashedly courageous of heart. -- Napra ReView
Stevee's art has the convincing feel of having been created by one who has been to the other side and can harness the most sophisticated technology to articulate the patterns of infinity and archetypal powers which are the fabric of our divine imagination. His tarot deck should become an instant classic.

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
The whole book has a relaxed and creative feel. The vividness and energy of the cards will certainly inspire you to try it in readings. -- Lee Bursten, Art of Tarot.com
This deck is astonishing. It opens synapses we've never used. -- Tapestry,1998
This is an unusual and provocative deck. The images are striking and evoke a fantastic view. -- Pangaia, Autumn 2000
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

The Cosmic Tribe Tarot is a synthesis of the artistic techniques used in the Crowley Thoth Deck and the Voyager Tarot. At its best, it has used the photographic style of the Voyager, but in a less busy way, in combination with traditional Rider-Waite symbology (5 Swords, 10 Swords, 10 Wands and Emperor.) It is less effective in the minor arcana cards that most resemble the Thoth Deck where the suit symbols are arranged as "counters" in a colorful and attractive pattern. This disparity of style is prominent enough to almost give the feel of two separate decks. The Voyager and Thoth Decks provide a key word on the minor arcana cards as an aid to those of us who otherwise depend on pictorial representation for interpretation. Although the accompanying book, a well-written and rewarding resource, provides a key word for each minor arcana card, these words are not present on the deck. It was wise of the creator to use the nude human figure thereby avoiding irrelevant and unintended connotation which clothing surely would provide. I am thinking here of the Yeager Tarot twenty-two years after publication. Who painted-on those briefs, and WHY? The male and female nudity is not offensive, disturbing or erotic; it helps us place ourselves in the situations of the figures on the cards.The inclusion of three Lovers cards is a welcome and thoughtful innovation. Perhaps the talented creator might consider a second edition in which the "counter" cards would be reworked into the beautiful and powerful allegory exhibited in some of the current cards.
