About the Author
François R. Bonchamp
François R. Bonchamp writes from the belief that Tarot is not merely a collection of meanings, but a symbolic language that reveals itself through image, number, element, gesture, and pattern.
The author presentation on this website is intentionally restrained. It does not invent credentials, lineage, residence, or dramatic biography. The work itself is the evidence: calm, structured, visually attentive, and devoted to helping readers think with the cards rather than perform certainty.
The Codex method asks the reader to become slower, sharper, and more responsible. It favors observation over spectacle, grammar over guesswork, and symbolic depth over memorized noise.

Beyond The Tarot Codex
In addition to The Tarot Codex, Bonchamp is the author of Across the Table: Tarot, Charlatans, and the Gift of Reading People, examining the history of card reading, the counterfeiters, and the psychological craft of observing the querent sitting across the table.
