One of the most interesting Tarot decks I got last year was the Hexen 2.0 by artist Suzanne Treister.
It’s a conspiracy laden, politically radical, cybernetic, psychedelic, utopian/dystopian, science- and history-minded set of cards that surprisingly enough, gives really good readings.
I wouldn’t recommend it for romantic questions, but it offers some very astute observations when asked about politics, society and western culture in general.
Last year, original drawings of the deck and other materials in the Hexen 2.0 project were on exhibit at shows in England and Germany.
This year, I’m happy to report (via Phantasmaphile), that they’ve made their way to North America and are on display until February 23rd at P.P.O.W. in New York City.
I don’t think I’ll be able to make the show, but I’d certainly be there if I were in the NYC area. It looks fascinating. I wish it would come to Toronto.
