I started drawing tarot cards as a way to deepen my relationship with and understanding of the characters and archetypes that people them. I went along with the fool on their journey, and together we struggled, died, were reborn, learned about life and ourselves, and started all over again. When I finally finished the 78th card, my drawings had become the Tarot of Perpetual Time. I invite you to join the fool and myself on our journey through the cycles of life.
If you are familiar with traditional tarot decks such as the Rider-Waite deck, you will easily recognize most of the major and minor arcana cards with the most notable exception of the court cards. Instead of the traditional court card imagery, I chose to use the images of sixteen non-human animals, who I felt embodied the spirits of the court cards as I perceived them. These sixteen animal cards may also be used on their own as an animal oracle deck. Another exception would be that I chose not to name any of the cards or include any instruction as to how they should be used. I would like any tarot reader who chooses to use the Tarot of Perpetual Time to form their own intuitive relationship with the cards and find their own meaning in them.
