Welcome! My name is Ryan, and from 2017 to 2021 I created a unique vision of the Tarot, inspired by my love of a fantasy books, Dungeons & Dragons, and the western occult tradition. Keep scrolling and learn more about it!
The deck was illustrated in inks and painted digitally in Montreal, Quebec. I wanted to convey a the mystery of the Tarot as a drama on a stage, rather than just the esoteric symbols used in most other decks. Take a look at my process below.
The Book of Adeptus pays homage to the Rider-Waite & Thoth Tarot, with an entirely new cast of characters. On a shattered world, orbiting a distant star, reside four dynasties. The families of Flames, Knives, Disks and Cups play their games of power, yet all strings are held in the watchful mind of the Hermit Adeptus.
“I recently used your Book of Adeptus for the first time for my own reading. I am sincerely touched by this beauty stored in this deck. Honestly, it’s a privilege to have acquired it at this time in which I am reconnecting with the natural world.
Sincerely, nice job and thanks a billion.
Moved by your illustrations.”
