The new "Rider-Waite"
By scuba steve
Not that these resemble the Rider deck a lot. I just think these could completely replace them as the standard. They're that good. I'm not trying to write a book, but this is how much I liked these cards. They really surprised me and if you are a Tarot enthusiast, let this amateur explain why he thinks this deck is so great..
First off, you have to know some things. I'm just an average dude who doesn't delve too much into the metaphysical but one day in my teens, I tried a set of tarot cards. The usual, standard, Rider-Waite deck that's mass distributed to every book store. The crazy thing is, they worked. Consistently. It's not like you can "read in" your own meanings because that simply can't work. There are 78 cards, and each have specific meanings. The odds of a random generation of a spread that makes sense to a specific question is pretty much...moot. I dont believe its magic, but it is...something. So I've always used them, off and on. While traveling on leave in the military, a new deck found me in the streets of Rome. I wasn't even looking for them but the Tarocchi Del Stelle deck became my new deck. Used it ever since. So when I say this Silicon Dawn deck surprised me, it doesn't happen often.
I consider this the new standard that every intelligent, modern Tarot reader should explore. Why? Well I wasn't born in olden times when the Rider deck was first created. So I don't connect with the images well. But they did their part in teaching me Tarot so they'll always be the old standard. Emphasis on old, though.
Most tarot cards, even my beloved Tarocchi Del Stelle, are just copies and reproductions of older designs.
The Silicon Dawn deck is what it is. It is not a copy if anything else. It's printed on the paper it was designed to be printed on. It is pretty much the only "real" deck you can buy, brand new. I'm not talking about antique cards because you just can't find them easily. Antique cards don't have cool phantom designs you can only see in the correct light, either. They are also...used. Bad juju.
Of course there are other newly designed decks, but none with this kind of depth and intricacy. And for some reason, none of those ever seemed real to me. There was always something lacking in newly designed decks, as if they were mere shadows of the Rider deck or alternatively, completely "out there" and unrecognizable. The Silicon deck is the only new design that never seemed like it was trying to be something else, while still recognizable to everyone who's used a Rider deck.
So this is how they surprised me: they worked right out of the box. I hadn't read in years. That's not common, if not impossible. You usually have to get to know the cards, and this deck has new additions like Void cards. I didnt know any of these, and had to look things up in the awesome little book. But it worked. The book is sort of a trip, too, and speaks to you (messes with you) in modern English complete with slang and cursing. Awesome.
My friend and I are both scorpios born on the same day, a year apart so if you believe in that sort of thing...maybe that helped. Anyway, he had never tried it so we gave it a go. I told him to shuffle, think of a question, etc, etc.
Celtic cross spread, my way. I didn't know the question. First strange thing: he dropped the cards and flipped them all around while shuffling. When I dealt, I didnt move the deck. Just flipped them toward him. They were ALL facing him, none were inverted.
In general it started with wands, then transitioned to swords, ended in pentacles. There was a scattering of 4 of the 5 new black void cards, mainly in the cross itself. The odds of this was small. They don't seem to be good cards, either. Their positions made sense, too. Death was in the 8th place, external influences. The last card was the 4 of pentacles, completion. A card meaning a false sense of security, from what I can tell. The question was: "are we as a species, headed for a time of huge upheaval and change in near future?"
I laughed and didn't expect such a deep and profound question. I was expecting some personal question. No I don't think it means it's going to happen for sure, just because Tarot cards predicted it but it was interesting. And like I said, Tarot works for me. Always has. The cards pretty much spelled out the current times. War and post-9/11 life (wands and swords, void cards). huge changes (2 of wands, death card) and it even joked with the 4 of pentacles as the last card. "completion". Not a single card from cups, unfortunately. This deck is funny, and it does seem as if it's messing with you...telling you not to take anything too seriously.
Then he asked something about a girl that began in fiery, passionate cards, and ended in the 10 of swords. A card I consider worse than death. Which is pretty much what he suspected anyway. Again, he didn't tell me the question till later.
The only thing I didn't like was that almost all cards are now female. Which is fine, but not very masculine. Tarot is not very masculine. Anyway, once I decided that the deck itself was female, it was easier to assimilate and get to know. Upon reading about the artist, the deck has every right to be female, or whatever it wants to be! Egypt created a masterpiece, by today's definition.
Again, I feel this could be the modern standard in every way. I think it could even replace the old Rider-Waite for most people. Those times are long over and we need new tools to read the new times. The addition of the Void cards and four fools is interesting as well. I almost took all the new cards out, but after that first reading for my friend, and every other reading that just seemed to work, I'm glad I left them in! They expand the possibilities and depth of readings to whole new levels!
Very, very glad I gave these beauties a try!

Weird, but in a good way!
By Neko-san
The Tarot of the Silicon Dawn (or Digital Dawn), by Egypt Urnash, is an unusual, but refreshing take on Tarot. There are many things going for this deck: slightly smaller cards, additional Major Arcana and variations, an additional suit, additional pip cards, swapped suit association, borderless,... This is a tarot that defines its own identity by defying tradition. However, it may be a great addition for some tarot collectors with a taste for the unusual.
If you are expecting a mild variation on other traditional decks, then look elsewhere. For starter, these cards are smaller than many LoScarabeo decks, measuring 4"x2.25". These seem to be of the thickness, but not as flexible. And with the extra cards, this is a mighty thick deck that I would hesitate to shuffle as other conventional decks.
The imagery in this tarot is abstract, akin to Thoth tarot, and contain nudity and explicit imagery as needed. In some cards, a transparent glue-like ink is applied, which upon light reflecting at an angle, reveal a hidden imagery. In the plus side, these cards are borderless, which maximizes the use of limited space. The back of these cards are almost reversible showing a galactic spiral on a black background.
According to the author, the Major Arcana draw inspiration from the Golden Dawn, which influenced the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot. These are labeled at the top and numbered at the bottom in Arabic numerals instead of roman, but the Fools are devoid of numbers. There are many intriguing cards in the Major Arcana and a few divert a bit from the usual labeling:
5. The High Priest - V. The Hierophant
8. Fortitude - VIII. Strength
10. Fortune - X. Wheel of Fortune
12. unlabeled - XII. The Hanged Man
21. Universe - XXI. The World
There are three additional Major Arcana at the beginning: one X. History and two Fools.
The Minor Arcana take ideas from Crowley, who designed the Thoth Tarot. These are composed of five suits: wands, swords, cups, pentacles and Void. Each suit is associated to the colors green, yellow, blue, red and black, respectively, and follow this correspondence: Swords-Air, Cups-Water, Wands-Earth, and Pentacles-Fire. This swaps wands and pentacles traditional correspondence.
The suit of Void is limited to five cards: 4 court cards (illustrated in landscape) and one 0 (meaning Void). Other suits include 15 cards: 10 pips, 4 court cards and one 99. Each 99 has a special meaning for each suit:
99. Starseed (wands)
99. Fission (swords)
99. Recursion (cups)
99. Extend (pentacles)
The Minor Arcana are labeled at the four edges of the cards. The pips are labeled with Arabic numerals and suit symbols. In another interesting twist, the aces are wearing a mask with the suit symbol. The court cards are labeled with P, C, Q, or K (prince/princess, chevalier, queen, or king) and suit symbols. The symbols of the suits are also integrated as part of the cards.
In addition, there are five spare cards thrown into the pack in case you care for them. As explained by the author of this deck, these "not-necessarily-proper images" are:
8 1/2: Maya - "A bastard child of the High Priestess and the Devil"
XIII: Vulture Mother - "A personal avatar of Death for a friend much is owed to."
VIII: She is Legend - "... sent to a friend who refused to lift the veil of the Internet."
0: The Fool - "... who went wrong."
Aleph: November - "... a fool learns to fly on the wings of her own stories."
All of these cards are well described in the guidebook included with these cards. This guidebook is organized as follows:
Some Notes on Tarot
Courts
The Numbered Cards
Cups
Swords
Pentacles
Wands
Major Arcana
The (VOID) and Beyond
Like a Little White Book (LWB), this book is translated into five: English, Italian, Spanish, French, and Dutch. As such, we are lucky if we get one page per Major Arcana. Surprisingly, the book does a good job on fleshing out the cards; most needed for the extra ones. Beware, there are no special layouts if you need them.
Of this book, "Some Notes on Tarot" is my most favorite section. In this section, the author presents a brief history of tarot (sort of) and an insight into her inspiration for this deck. I love this quote: "That's how I see Tarot: A historical trainwreck, pulled by about twenty-two decontextualized images."
The cards and book come in a box that opens like a coffer and closes with a magnetic contact. This deck's imagery may be too much for beginners, but this is a great kit for tarot collectors.

Futuristic approach to a classic oracle
By Wolf Lahti
This isn't your typical Ryder-Waite tarot deck with different pictures. This is a new approach to the tarot by someone who has done her research and knows the real story behind it (which the author/artist lays out in the included booklet). In addition to the usual Cups, Swords, Wands, and Pentacles, there are also Voids. Along with Kings and Queens, there are Chevaliers, Princes, and Princesses. And four Fool cards! All drawn in a rather odd style that you will either love or hate. The package is artfully designed, with a lid that closes by magic. (Or is it magnets? I get those two confused.)
As Ms Urnash reveals, the commonly accepted mystical underpinnings are largely a fiction—but that does not diminish the usefulness of the deck as a tool for self-examination. And who knows? Maybe some people can discern their destiny using this futuristic approach to a classic oracle.
