Arriving at a moment when the planet itself hangs between collapse and renewal, Suzanne Treister’s HEXEN 5.0 emerges as the long-awaited sequel to her cult classic HEXEN 2.0.
Its 78 luminous alchemical drawings braid together terrestrial and interplanetary technologies, synthetic genomes and geoengineering schemes, corporate technocracies and post-capitalist cooperatives, mass-extinction tipping points and animist awakenings. Each card presents the possibility of novel convergences across established and emerging streams of thought—from Earth System Science, Spiritual Ecology and Nexus Thinking to technoshamanism, Solarpunk, and speculative biopolitics.
By reanimating medieval hermetic diagrams as a living atlas of present crises and nascent hopes, HEXEN 5.0 opens a lucid, liminal space where collaborative readings can interrogate unfolding techno-futures and envision regenerative pathways for life aboard spaceship earth and beyond.
HEXEN 5.0 includes: - 78 Large Format Full Colour Tarot Cards - Collection of diagrammatic posters - Essay by Lars Bang Larsen - Guide for Group Tarot Readings
