Hello everyone! I’m Greg Traw, the creator of the Dracxiodos Tarot. Creating this Tarot deck has been a passion, an obsession and the bulk of my art practice for the past two and a half years. And as much as it is a functioning Tarot deck, with all the appropriate “bells and whistles,” it’s just as much an autobiography of my initiation into the Tarot. At the beginning of this project, I had little next to no knowledge or understanding of the Tarot. But a dizzy few years of intense trial-by-fire interactions with the thing has pulled me out the other side a very different person than the person who foolishly began the journey. The Dracxiodos Tarot is the end result of that journey…

When I first received the calling to create the Dracxiodos Tarot I knew it was going to be a large undertaking. I expected it to change me and prepared for the coming struggles. Or so I naively believed? The energies surrounding the creation of this Tarot deck has synched up and amplified my personal life. All of it. They now seem inseparable from each other. Every Tarot reader feel this with their deck(s) of choice. Every deck creator intimately breaths this bond. And that’s what the magick of Tarot is all about, syncing up with life. All of it.
Great lengths (somewhat in vain) have been taken to create a deck both visually unique while also contributing to traditional Tarot scholarship. This is my two cents on how the Tarot spoke through me and informed what I was creating with color palette, image juxtaposition, montage, composition and form. It took me three drafts to get it even close to being right, but it’s all in there now. Three trips up and down the Tree of Life. Each time realizing the new bits of gnosis learned causes the whole scaffolding to shake and wobble just enough to have to fix it all again with another draft. It was super frustrating, but my tunnel vision OCD self knew if I didn’t make the necessary corrections it would viciously eat away at me for all of eternity.
It feels like I’ve put everything I could into this Tarot deck without it getting too wonky. A little bit of wonky is good though. And during the last third of its creation it felt more like a channeling than myself consciously creating it. I now realize the honing and nurturing of that divine connection is at the core of every creative act. The Tarot bestows you with the language: an ancient measurement system intertwined with myth and literary narrative. Most importantly, the Tarot’s ability to transcend and interact beyond space-and-time. All glimpses and murmurs behind the veil.
