THE ANIMISTIC COSMOS TAROT

A Multicultural Journey Through Myth, Memory, and Cosmic Belonging

The Animistic Cosmos Tarot is an ongoing fine-art tarot deck and companion book that reimagines the archetypes of the Rider–Waite system through a global, animistic, and cosmological lens. Each card draws from myths, ancestral stories, and sacred symbols from cultures around the world, expanding familiar tarot imagery into a broader, more inclusive landscape.

Every painting is created with the same care and complexity as my studio work—bright, saturated, layered with movement, and alive with presence. Animals, constellations, plants, deities, waves, fire, and starlight are not background; they are active participants, reflecting the understanding that everything in the cosmos is sentient, interconnected, and speaking.

This deck honors tarot not as a static tradition but as a living language.
Here, Strength becomes a communion between human and lion;
the Chariot rides between sea and sky;
the Hierophant bridges ancestral wisdom and cosmic knowledge;
the Magician collaborates with forest spirits and elemental guides.

​

Each archetype is treated as a doorway—into culture, into mythic consciousness, into the unfolding story of a world where all things are alive.

​

The companion book deepens these images further, exploring cultural resonance, symbolic threads, and the emotional pathways woven into every card. Together, the paintings and writings form a unified journey into a cosmos that breathes, remembers, and responds.

A Growing Constellation of Archetypes

​

The artworks shown here are the first major arcana completed for the deck—an expanding archive that will continue to grow as new cards emerge. Each one is a small altar: a meeting place of story, spirit, and the mythic threads that bind us to all existence.
