  • Episode 43 - Mark Ryan Interview
    Feb 7 2025

    Mark Ryan, co-creator of the Wildwood Tarot and actor known for roles in Robin of Sherwood and Transformers, joins the Wyrdo's to discuss the mystical connections between ancient beliefs and the modern world.

    Growing up near Sherwood Forest, Ryan's childhood experiences with folklore and history heavily influenced his journey with tarot and cartomancy. He shares the fascinating story of creating the Wildwood Tarot, born from a desire to connect with a more nature-based, British Isles-centric system than the traditional decks.

    Ryan recounts the serendipitous events that led to his role in Robin of Sherwood, his continued close friendships with the cast, and the strange experiences that have shaped his understanding of the world. He delves into the symbolism of the Wildwood Tarot, explaining the inspiration behind various cards and their connection to the wheel of the year.

    Ryan also discusses the challenges of counterfeit decks, offering advice to buyers and revealing plans for a limited edition re-release of the Greenwood Tarot. He explores the nature of tarot readings, emphasising their role in gaining clarity and accessing one's subconscious.

    The conversation touches on consciousness, intuition, and the importance of respecting the earth and its energies. Finally, they discuss the resurgence of interest in UAPs and the potential for groundbreaking revelations in the near future, with Ryan hinting at his own knowledge of classified information.

    The episode concludes with a lighthearted "Florida Man" story.
