My Story
Since a young age, Adrien has been interested in the unseen. Esoteric studies have always been very present in his life, especially Tarot and Astrology. Adrien bought his first deck at the age of 11 years old, having seen the Grimaud Marseille Deck in the bookshop in his hometown of Marignane, France. The cards and images were so intriguing that Adrien went back to the bookshop countless times. Questioning the bookshop owner about the deck resulted in a not-so-friendly reply of, "If you don’t know what to do with them, you shouldn’t buy them!" This encouraged him even more to learn about these strange cards. Having saved up enough pocket money, he bought that deck, thus starting a lifetime passion in Tarot, the Marseille Deck, and divination.
Adrien’s approach to Tarot is straightforward and intuitive, informed by his interest in folklore, pataphysics, and Western Esotericism. He has been reading Tarot for almost 30 years, and now specializes in using the Marseille Tarot for everyday matters. As well as attending countless workshops and courses around Europe, Adrien had the good fortune to study with some of the top Tarot experts in the world, including Philippe Camoin in Marseille (heir to the original Tarot Marseille makers). This has firmly placed Adrien as part of the French school of Tarot reading.
Even though Adrien was raised in a Catholic family, he has studied and has been a member of several Western Esoteric and Ceremonial orders, including the OTO and the Golden Dawn, but he found his path in Traditional Witchcraft. This trained him in much of the inherent symbolism behind the most popular decks, including Rider-Waite-Smith Deck and the Thoth, or Crowley-Harris deck. Adrien regularly teaches classes on the Marseille and Rider Waite Smith, as well as workshops on how to use the tarot to better your life.
Adrien is a certified Women Empowerment & Embodied Transformation Coach. He studied coaching, somatic, and embodiment techniques under the wings of Mona Hassan and Laura van de Vorst. Further to being a certified life coach, he also studied Systemic Family Constellation under the supervision of Ivetta Apine, who founded the Systemic Constellations Center Riga. Further to this, he dived into the practice of Mindfulness, techniques that he encourages people and his clients to use to find a sense of space and peace in life. In August 2024, he successfully became an Associate Certified Coach by ICF (International Coaching Federation).
His passion for Astrology led him to study at the London School of Astrology under Frank Clifford. Today, Adrien is a Spiritual Guide and Transpersonal Coach. He uses all of his tools to help people move from indecision and paralyzing life situations into action. His aim is to empower people so they can understand themselves better, gain independence, and their own power of agency.
He often runs a workshop called "Dancing the Tarot," where he fuses Tarot, Systemic constellations, and embodiment work to help people come to a deeper understanding of themselves and their situations. Adrien also frequently uses the pendulum to work with energies. He uses the pendulum not just as a dowsing tool but also as a healing and manifesting tool.
Before embarking on his current career, Adrien was a very successful dancer and singer and traveled the world. These skills allow him to help people stop overthinking and come into their bodies. His workshops are unique and need to be experienced. He now works and lives in Vienna, Austria but travels often to teach
