How did we get our start?
Our origins are shrouded in mystery. Some accounts trace the Unemployed Philosophers Guild’s birth to Athens in the latter half of the 4th century BCE. Others argue it dates from the High Middle Ages.
More recently, historians have pinpointed the birth of the Guild to New York City in the late 90s, when two brothers turned their inner creativity and love of paying rent towards fulfilling the people’s needs for finger puppets, warm slippers, coffee cups, and cracking up at stuff.
If you’re unemployed, how come you have a job?
We are employed, just not as philosophers.
The Pulp Tarot gives the traditional Tarot card deck a new twist – with a cast of characters captures from the glorious repository of pulp illustration.
Colorful, intriguing, and complex, The Pulp Tarot was created with only one goal in mind: to guide your questing soul from darkness to light – IF YOU DARE.
The deck comes in a thoughtfully designed box created to look like a book – perfect for displaying on your coffee table, in your library, or anywhere else you want to show it off. A delicate red ribbon lies underneath the deck, allowing you to pull out your cards with ease.
Features 78 sensational cards. Thrilling major arcana! Hard-boiled minor arcana!
Each card is a work of art unto itself, featuring dynamic and sensational imagery to evoke the mid-century illustrations that inspired the deck, while helping you examine your future.
The high-quality and sturdy cards are designed with a bold black and red pattern that will keep the direction of the card a mystery while you lay out your reading.
Includes a 47-page instruction book that describes every card in dramatic detail.
