Cosmic Tribe Tarot – A Psychedelic Journey into Archetypal Spirituality
The Cosmic Tribe Tarot is a visual explosion that redefines the boundaries of traditional tarot imagery. Created by visionary artist Stevee Postman, this deck is a vibrant tribute to the human form, the natural world, and the mystical potential of the soul. It blends cutting-edge digital art with ancient wisdom, offering a sensual and psychedelic aesthetic that feels both futuristic and deeply rooted in neopagan spirituality.
This is not a deck for the faint of heart; it is an invitation to celebrate the body, explore mythological depths, and embrace the ecstatic energy of life. With its 78 cards—including three distinct versions of "The Lovers"—it honors the diversity of human connection and the fluidity of identity. The imagery is bold, colorful, and intensely expressive, making every reading a visceral experience.
Symbolism and Themes
While the deck follows the classic tarot structure, its visual language is uniquely modern and intuitive. Stevee Postman utilizes digital photomontage to create surreal landscapes where androgynous archetypes, mythical creatures, and cosmic symbols coexist. The cards move away from rigid historical depictions, favoring a "free" approach that resonates with the modern seeker.
Major themes include sexual freedom, spiritual awakening, and the profound connection between the micro-cosmos of the body and the macro-cosmos of the universe. The Cosmic Tribe Tarot focuses heavily on inclusivity and the liberation of the spirit. It challenges traditional gender roles and encourages the reader to see the divine within the carnal, making it a perfect companion for those exploring alternative spiritual paths and psychological integration.
