After months of announcing each of our conference speakers on our Facebook Page, ‘UK Tarot Conference Group,’ I’m thrilled to share that artist Charles Newington will be joining us and collaborating with John Matthews on his presentation about creating ‘The Fool’s New Journey Tarot’.  I’ve long wanted to meet Charles, and I can’t wait for this opportunity!

I am so happy about the new dedicated space for book signings, which promises to bring a fresh dynamic to the conference.

In addition, the goodie bags are shaping up nicely, with 14 boxes arriving on my doorstep last week! I’m consistently amazed by the generosity of our publishers, and this year has truly surpassed expectations. A huge shout-out to Llewellyn, Red Feather, Hay House, Lo Scarabeo, and Kindred Spirit magazine, as well as contributions from Tiffany Lazic and Pongpunt Wongnongteoi, Pongpunt does incredible work within the Tarot community in Thailand and the Far East, all contributions to our goodie bags are deeply appreciated.  However, you might need a bigger suitcase to carry everything home this year!

I have been to many conferences in my time, and I know our bags are the best I have had enquires from people who cannot attend asking for a bag, so I am reintroducing the VIT box (Very Important Tarot). Details will be on the website soon, as well as an option to purchase a box alongside a Virtual ticket.

We have had a small reshuffle of the programme, and fed up with using copious amounts of ink for printing we have loaded a ‘print friendly’ black and white version of the updated programme here.

With just seven weeks to go, and presentations dropping into my in-box, I know this year as we celebrate The World it is going to be very special.
