The PKD Tarot
Unlock the Fool’s Journey and its relationship to the novels, characters, short fiction and other writings by Philip K. Dick. PKD scholar Ted Hand and tarot artist Christopher Wilkey have brought together a new vision of tarot and the great works of Philip K. Dick. It is an original concept of tarot that looks into both the past and the future at the same time.
Ideal for advanced students of tarot as well as novices to the I Ching (or Book of Changes), this 80 card tarot deck takes the seeker through an initiation into the life and writings of one of the greatest writers of recent times. Explore alternate realities and the nature of what it is to be human.
Taking cues from Aleister Crowley and other Golden Dawn inspired traditions, this deck puts forward some of the possible relations between tarot and the hexagrams of the I Ching, including two card games designed to help introduce readers to the symbols of which access that ancient volume.
- The “Maze of Death” domino-type game familiarizes players with the trigrams of which I Ching hexagrams are composed.
- The “Ubik” card game has Eastern and Western House modes that have players either hoping to avoid accumulating entropy or trying to capture all the energy you can from the deck and other players to be the last standing at the end of the game!
