Discover the wisdom of the renowned Elizabethan magus Dr. John Dee and let it guide you through the mysteries of your own life’s journey. The John Dee Oracle draws from the visionary work of Dr. John Dee, the renowned philosopher, astrologer, and magus who stood at the crossroads of science and magic during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. This oracle, created by John Matthews and brought to life through the exquisite artwork of Wil Kinghan, offers seekers a chance to walk in the footsteps of one of history’s most enigmatic figures, delving into the wisdom Dee pursued throughout his lifetime. Twenty-nine cards are divided into four sacred towers—health, love, work, and intention—each governed by an archangel who oversees that domain (Uriel, Raphael, Michael, Gabriel), guiding you through life’s challenges with wisdom and insight. Included is a 16" × 23" folded diagram featuring the four watchtowers for oracle spreads. This fully updated reissued edition includes: - six of Dee’s original Enochian Calls, translated by John Matthews- a new card back design- an added Gloriana card, which honors Dee’s great patroness, Queen Elizabeth I

Imagine a time when vast helium-fueled airships took the place of aircraft, and where the hunger for adventure and exploration took the human race into stranger places than we ever imagined. The Steampunk Tarot imagines this in an alternate-reality tarot where The Technomage is king, and the Punk Diva is queen.Tumble down the rabbit hole into a construction of technology, machines, retro-art and culture, full of fantastic visions in a time and place that realizes an alternate world to our own. The world of steampunk combines Victoriana, the Gothic, and early invention with a huge dash of imagination and a tremendous sense of style. The Steampunk Tarot is a world apart: a nexus of opulence, innovation and alternate world-views that is reflected in 78 scenes. The 22 major arcana cards are the actors at the heart of the machine, the deos macninae or "the gods of the machine."Acting as mediators of the Gods of the Machine are the 16 court cards who are the Legates of the Omniverse, or ambassadorial representatives of the Four Leagues, comprising all the skills that maintain the Imperium: they are the movers and shakers—the Commander, Lady, Navigator, and Messenger, or King, Queen, Knight and Page. They oversee the other 40 cards of the minor arcana, who are the elemental worlds of Airships, Engines, Submersibles and Gears, or Swords, Wands, Cups and Coins.There are still things to discover and uncover in the Steampunk Imperium. Many new methods of spreading and playing with tarot cards are included, as well as methods of life-navigation by the use of skillful questions. The Steampunk Tarot is an adventurous tarot for the discerning diviner, to be appreciated both by tarot-users and steampunk fans the world over.
