Wildwood Tarot Deck by Mark Ryan & John Matthews | Deck & Book Set

Before the written word, the forest kept its own counsel.

The Wildwood Tarot by Mark Ryan and John Matthews is a deck rooted in pre-Celtic mythology, shamanic tradition, and the deep seasonal rhythms of the ancient world. Illustrated by Will Worthington, its 78 cards move through primeval woodland populated by archetypes that predate the familiar Rider-Waite canon — the Green Man, the Archer, the Blasted Oak, the Wanderer. This is tarot as it might have been read around a fire at the edge of the known world.

Structured around the Wheel of the Year and the old festival calendar, the Wildwood speaks in the language of nature, instinct, and myth. It rewards slow reading and patient attention.
