Another wonderful addition to the Pixel Occult collection of decks - the Teknebrae tarot.
This deck embraces the aesthetic of a cyberpunk world/environment - it’s a unique offering in the wonderful work of divination decks. I’ve always been drawn to the decks created by James (Pixel Occult). And this deck is fascinating - if you’re into the darker, more mysterious, modern, sharp fashion, underground city life vibe (that we often see in movies like Blade Runner or even, one of my favourites - The Matrix!), you will really love this deck! The card quality is exceptional and like the art captured in the cards, the cards are slick. They are easy to shuffle, and feel good in hand.
The strong symbolism and illustrations evoke clear messages and interpretations (the guidebook is wonderful for that too). I am particularly drawn in by the various characters in the cards - never the ‘same’ character - it really gives the deck so much depth and you can’t help but imagine the story of each person and setting depicted in the cards.
The black and white colour palette is perfect for this first edition - very strong contrast makes the images pop - the illustrations are already so cool, but the palette makes the images so sharp and angular and definitive (which I enjoy). I have spent so much time just looking at these cards and emersing myself in the world. I love that a deck can do that - like a really great book (or movie!).
If you take the leap to add this deck to your collection, I’m sure you will be drawn into this world of futuristic cool and find another way to bring another layer of meanings and interpretations into your tarot practice.

Information from the Pixel Occult Etsy listing:
The Teknebrae Tarot is a fully-illustrated 78 card Tarot Deck printed at the standard Tarot size of 2.75x4.75" on master quality linen card stock with black core and matte coating, intended for durability, vibrant image reproduction, and ease of handling/shuffling. Each deck is housed in a rigid two-piece box designed to provide protection and longevity even while you’re on the go, and comes with a booklet for quick reference.
The Teknebrae Tarot is a Cyberpunk Tarot deck following the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition(Often shortened to RWS). Like my Neon Moon Tarot before it, it offers full illustrations in a limited color palette for each of the 78 cards and is set in a gritty futuristic cyberpunk world. Robots, cyborgs, AI, enhanced cybernetics, loose flowing clothing and a diverse cast of characters populate this deck and bring its setting to life. In this booklet I’ve additionally included card titles based on (but not a 1 to 1 match with) their Golden Dawn titles.
Here you will find all cards fully-illustrated with a rich and diverse cast of characters. Despite the dark setting, the contents of the deck read with the variety of light and dark themes and archetypes you'd expect from a Tarot deck. Cards ask you to read energy and themes and aren't tied to following specific gender expressions. The characters within are varied in their bodies, races, ages, sexual orientations, and genders.
