Adflatus, Latin for breath or inspiration was conceived in early 2000 in the midst of a journey, which I embarked upon in trying to understand the vocabulary of the tarot. The many images, metaphors and symbolism that could be found in the various decks available - traditional and contemporary, failed to connect with my being.

I grew weary of my journey trying to find the one deck, which I could do my own readings with and decided to venture on a project of creating my own. Here each card would have it’s own meaning, particular to myself as well as incorporate the language of the tarot.

With the aid of my the Rider-Waite deck and text such as that from Jane Lyle and Rachael Pollack I spent many nights drawing the detailed line work which became the basis of the tarot card. Over the years the illustration style grew more confident and bolder. When it finally came to the colouring stage of the cards, I surprised myself with the wonders of bold colours and vibrant hues. Each artistic layer of the card added to the meaning and the evocation of my own consciousness.

The end results are as such the deck titled Adflatus.
