Tranhumetica Tarot

The theme of this deck is Transhumanism, which is defined as the merging of the human body with technology. Transhumetica Tarot has been created to integrate the visuals and icons of today’s modern tech & transhumanist trends into the symbolic language of the Tarot. 

    Transhumanism is a term that is becoming more and more recognized in our society every day, and fast becoming a reality. Although currently more generally recognized as “AI”, Transhumanist Technologies include robotics, nanotechnology, genetic manipulation and the entire neurotechnological and digital realms. These technologies are transforming all of us on conscious and unconscious levels. Some of these influences and technologies are genuinely helpful, but some are deceptive in nature and may be leading us down a questionable path. It is time for these modern technological issues to be represented and addressed in every day Tarot readings.

The goal of Transhumetica Tarot is to help users to navigate the coming flood of Transhumanist tech & ideologies using many of the same tools as contained in traditional Hermetic Tarot decks. These tools include Alchemical, Astrological and Qabalistic systems & symbolism with the addition of the technology symbols and icons. 

Going deeper into the concept of the deck, Transhumanism can be seen as a modern expression of Alchemy. It shares many of the same goals: longevity, immortality and the creation of artificial life. There is a historic through-line of science, priesthoods, and secret knowledge that connect the two. It would seem that Alchemy’s time has come, re-defined and turbo-charged as Transhumanism. By recognizing Transhumanism as a hermetic art, users are helped to regain control over technology’s influences in their daily lives. Each card is connected to a hermetic concept as well as a particular kind of tech, which is shown or suggested in the imagery and well as in the written description of the card. Connecting hermetic concepts to emerging technologies creates a new and unique system to help harmonize the tech in our lives with our spiritual natures.

After years of research, I have allocated tech correspondences to each card, using traditional Tarot allocations, astrology & the Qabalah as guides. It is my hope that current and future generations of Tarot Card Readers can use these cards to address the issues surrounding current and future technologies and how they are effecting all of us, and synthesize this information into their insights & guidance.
