Note: if you were watching the tarot deck flip through on
YouTube, you are seeing the Hexen 2.0 deck.

About the new deck:


HEXEN 5.0, an update of HEXEN 2.0 (2011), presents a critical,
historical and mystical exploration of new global developments in
terrestrial and interplanetary technologies, science and
communications, corporate and governmental forces, the ecosystem
and climate crisis, recent and traditional fields of knowledge
and spirituality, new branches of bio/socio/political theory,
contemporary countercultural and futuristic movements, new
directions in science-fiction, and proposed possible solutions
for an ethical survival of the human race.

The visual structure of the works is largely based on alchemical
drawings of the 13th - 18th centuries, entwining these subjects
into a holistic mystical space where they become differently
animated and resonant. In alchemical drawings, science, art and
religion/spirituality co-exist, echoing the recently converging
fields illuminated in some of the cards, such as Spiritual
Ecology, Nexus thinking and Earth System Science, fields which
may lead to better solutions for the climate crisis and to
returning the planet towards a self-regulating system.

Where HEXEN 2.0 analysed the legacy of cybernetics as embodied in
Web 2.0 and systems of control, showing how Web 2.0 works as a
societal controlling system, HEXEN 5.0 traces cybernetics'
relevance to whole earth systems and how the cybernetic
self-regulating feedback loops of the planetary ecosystem, which
we have sent out of whack, need to be addressed through an
understanding of the workings of the total global ecosystem. This
is embodied in the aims of Earth System Science and potentially
in an even more holistic system incorporating traditional
knowledges and spirituality.


The published deck of tarot cards is intended to be used as a
tool for groups to discuss and envision positive alternative
futures and may be used in conjunction with HEXEN 2.0 Tarot
deck.
