From the back of the box:

“Does your Tarot deck seem more suited for a renaissance court or a gypsy tent than for navigating the next millenium? A witty blend of traditional tarot symbology, contemporary images and the iconography of modern art, The PoMo Tarot puts a hip new spin on an ancient source of wisdom and offers art lovers and tarot devotees a treasure chest of up-to-the-minute totems for twenty-first century divination and self-exploration. Turning the ancient deck on its head, artist and tarot expert Brian Williams replaces the classic suits of the Minor Arcana (Staves, Cups, Coins and Swords) with TVs, Bottles, Money and Guns, translating the Tarot and its powers into the cotemporary landscape. To wit; a Scientist replaces the Magician and the village Fool puts on the power tie of a trendy Idiot. Aficionados will delight in William’s brazen takes on a who’s who of paintings and artists.”

On first impression, this deck gives new meaning to the term “art deck”, for it is, in fact, based on famous post-modern paintings. It’s nicely done, it comes in a sturdy box, with an informative book and the cards themselves are of good quality. The cards are, however, rather large and difficult to shuffle. It is not a deck that I find myself able to read with but is more of a “collector’s” deck.

The suits (as mentioned above) have been renamed as Guns (Wands), Bottles (Cups), TVs (Swords) and Money (Pentacles). The Court cards have become Girl, Boy, Woman and Man. Most of the Majors have also been renamed.

0. The Idiot (The Fool)
I. Expert (The Magician)
II. Mona (High Priestess) [As in Mona Lisa]
III. Mom (The Empress)
IV. Dad (The Emperor)
V. Mr. Religion (Hierophant)
VI. Lovers
VII. Wheels (The Chariot)
VIII. Just Desserts (Justice)
IX. Out of It (Hermit)
X. Wheel O’Fortune
XI. Sheer Force (Strength)
XII. All Hung Up (The Hanged Man)
XIII. Dead (Death) [A personal fave here – have to mention it’s a skeleton in sunglasses smoking a cigarrette]
XIV. Neither Here Nor There, But Right On The Money (Temperance)
XV. Evil (The Devil)
XVI. Disaster (The Tower)
XVII. Sweetness & Starlight (The Star)
XVIII. Night (The Moon)
XIX. Day (The Sun)
XX. The End (Judgement)
XXI. World

This isn’t a deck I would necessarily recommend, although I do find it a rather nice “collectors” deck. I have showed the deck to quite a few friends and not one has ever wanted it for their reading, for whatever that is worth.
