Every card in Iron tarot began as either an original painting, sketch, photograph or a mix of all 3. Check out the gallery: a few corridor of original canvases, sketches, photos and digital art: the large, rough, floor‑painted pieces that became the bones of the deck. This is where you can see the world before the switch flips from painting into card.
The full origin story of the deck: rented rooms, cheap brushes, glitchy hardware, Gnostic “immovable race” lore, Ra’s journey through the Duat, Dante’s Inferno, Neverending Story, Homer’s The Odyssey, astrology, generational curses and how seventy nine underworld rooms turned into a tarot system. If you want to know what you’re holding and why it looks the way it does, this is your map.
you can watch each card come to life. For every tarot image there, also the original floor painted canvas, sketches and photographs. It’s a way to walk through the deck visually, room by room, before you ever shuffle a card. Check out photos of the cards here.
The guidebook is what makes Iron Junction tarot a bit different from traditional decks. It’s a literal book of over 500 pages.
On this page you’ll find 3 sample full guidebook entries (imagery plus upright and reversed meanings), a personal transmission or field report from my own life. The personal transmissions are on the ground stories of tarot archetypes experienced by me in my own life. Together, these pieces show what makes this deck different: You can read the stories, see the art, understand the symbolism I used and feel how the tarot meanings are rooted in real corridors and real experiences before you decide if this is a map you want to work with.
cosmic horror field reports from real life (gas stations, comment sections, side corridors of reality)
short fiction and underworld tales set in and around Iron Junction
glimpses of the monsters and thresholds that shaped the deck
Real dreams and nightmares turned into stories
Think of it as a stack of reports left on the haunted underworld break room table for anyone who’s ever lived a little too close to the edge or slipped into strange side corridors just outside normal reality.
Narrated stories in my own voice, occult tales, and public domain classics (Dracula, Lovecraft, and other ghosts) read in a low, late‑shift style over paintings and animations from the station. Rain on the platform, trains in the dark, a human voice in the background while you fall asleep or stare at the ceiling.
When you’re ready, you can pick up the deck and whatever else the station is offering. No hard sell, tools for travellers: something you can throw in a backpack, read at 3 a.m., or keep on the table beside your coffee. No pressure to buy anything, you’re welcome to hang out at the station as long as you like as often as you like.
Iron Junction is for everyone, especially people who live a little closer to the stranger edges of reality, nightshift minds, corridor walkers, readers, diviners, and anyone who wants company on the late train.
Find a seat, grab your lantern, and stay awhile, it’s always 10:47 pm, slightly raining, and the trains and broadcasts run all night
