Frame the question.
A useful question gives the reading a subject without demanding that the cards deliver a verdict. Shuffle in any manner that feels natural, then draw without searching for the card you expect.

THE COLLECTION
The World
of the Deck
The Sic et Non tarot inhabits a world somewhere between the familiar and the imagined.
Its landscapes are caught in the uncertain light of dawn and twilight, when forms emerge slowly from shadow and the ordinary becomes faintly otherworldly. The palette is restrained: pale skies, weathered stone, muted colour and occasional passages of gold.
The visual language moves between centuries, drawing inspiration from Trecento Italy, the allegorical beauty of Botticelli, the architecture and ornament of the Alhambra, and the dreamlike imagination of the French Symbolists.
Historical influences coexist with subtle, almost futuristic details, creating a world that belongs neither wholly to the past nor the present.
The illustrations retain the symbolic foundations of the Rider–Waite–Smith tradition while allowing its familiar figures and landscapes to inhabit a different visual world.
The intention is not to reconstruct a particular historical period, but to evoke something more elusive: a place that feels remembered, even if it has never existed.
THE ARTWORKArtwork & Provenance
The Sic et Non tarot is an art-directed, AI-assisted interpretation of the Rider–Waite–Smith tradition.
The illustrations are created through generated source imagery, editorial selection, digital compositing, retouching, colour work and review against traditional Rider–Waite–Smith iconography.
The cards have been refined as a complete collection for consistency of symbolism, atmosphere and print presentation. The result respects the recognisable structure of the original deck while establishing a distinct visual identity.
PHYSICAL EDITIONS

The complete 78-card tarot is planned with a concise illustrated booklet and carries the Society’s reading system from the screen to the table.

USING THE DECK
Begin with the cards.
Start simply.
One card may be enough. A traditional three-card sequence can be read as Past, Present and Future; the third card is better treated as a direction or possibility than an unavoidable prediction.
Read in relation.
Attend first to what is pictured, then to the suit, number or court and the card’s place in the arrangement. Court cards may describe a person of any sex, a recognisable character or a way of acting relevant to the question.
FORTHCOMING PUBLICATIONS
Beyond the
little book.
The enclosed booklet is a beginning, not the whole library.
A fuller practical guide to reading the cards is in development, with more space for questions, card relationships, traditional spreads and the construction of a complete reading.
Separate essays and longer studies will examine individual cards, historical sources and the changing life of symbols in art, literature and belief. Some of this work may later be gathered into a book. Publication details will be announced when the material is ready.
The Reading Room will continue to provide free digital readings and individual card interpretations as this work develops.
