Read tarot
without the book.

I’m Frans-Lukas.

Wizard, clown, recovering software developer. I read tarot by asking the cards nosy questions.

I’m the creator of Embodied Myth. I’ve read tarot for about five years, at festivals, cafés, parties and in private readings, and I teach the cards on Instagram and TikTok as @embodied.myth. I learned the Tarot de Marseille from a teacher in the lineage of Alejandro Jodorowsky.

I came to tarot as a very rational person who wasn’t into magic at all. But so many people swore by the cards, so many books had been written about them, and the Thoth deck was so beautiful, that I thought there might be something to it. It turned out to be my gateway drug. Tarot led me from software development into meditation, somatics, myth, ritual, clowning and play.

At first I didn’t trust my intuition. I knew what the book said, and I mostly repeated it. The book is a fine place to start, but there wasn’t much of me in it. So I started asking questions instead. Once I drew the Queen of Cups from the Thoth deck, a figure behind a veil, and I honestly didn’t know what to say. So I asked: Who is behind the veil? “That’s my mother,” he said, and the whole reading opened from there. That’s when I understood that the person you read for is, in a way, the reader.

My work is informed by long-form study and practice in embodiment, relational work, yoga and meditation. This includes a year of Advanced Growing Up training and one-to-one mentorship with Li Tadaa, The Intimacy Training with Buster Rådvik, and a three-month Sadhana at the Scandinavian Yoga and Meditation School.

Circling and somatic tracking have also been foundational in how I listen, relate and accompany another person’s experience.

I am interested in the different ways we know what we know. The body, intuition, images and imagination can reveal possibilities that thinking alone may not reach.

My role is not to tell you what your experience means. I create a space where we can become curious about it together, with room for seriousness, surprise, play and the occasional bit of chaos.

In groups, I also facilitate Myth Constellation workshops, where an image becomes a living scene that people step into and explore through slow-motion improvisation, circling and somatic tracking. New workshops are announced in my letters.

This is Embodied Myth: where the ordinary and the mythic meet through body, imagination and play.
