Todd Alcott's Sci-Fi Tarot โ Full 78-Card Deck + Instruction Book | Vintage Pulp Science Fiction Art
๐ The Universe Has a Message. Pull a Card. ๐ค
What if every tarot archetype lived in a 1950s pulp science fiction magazine? What if The Magician was a gleaming robot with laser tools? What if The Queen of Cups was a space heroine in a gold helmet? What if The Six of Cups was two astronaut kids discovering an alien pet on a desert planet?
