April 2025 Update

After what felt like an eternity waiting for the calendar to turn into April for the Tarot by the Sea retreat, it suddenly arrived.

The venue in Ramsgate changed ownership at Christmas, and a new events team took over. There was a period of chaos that left me feeling uncertain about their readiness for our arrival. Nonetheless, they exceeded all my expectations and truly went above and beyond for us. 

This retreat was designed to be a small, intimate gathering, 16 of us in all, and as it happened, turned out to be a perfect number (despite its Tower implications).  It is hard to describe the connections made in an environment like this. The atmosphere is relaxed, as we dived into deep tarot readings, meditations, sound baths, and ensured there was plenty of time to chat and be sociable.  The weather was glorious, perfect for sea walks and casting spells (yes, magick was at play).  It is hard to describe the energy in words, all I can say is it was very special, and 2026 is already in the diary!   Next year, a different location, with new energy, but somewhere in Kent, far too much esoteric history to venture beyond, so watch this space for details.  

My attention now turns to the UK Tarot Conference. Thursday evening preconference gathering is now full.  The programme is currently being proofread before it goes to the printers, and soon I will announce the full schedule.  As always, there will be surprises in store, these will be revealed closer to the event.  The workshops are inspiring. The Fool is such a great card to work with, so much potential working with his energy.  

If you are thinking about joining us virtually, the Early Bird Offer finishes at the end of April –

With Easter on the horizon, it is a perfect time to create an ‘Intention spread’.

Set an Intention:  Take a moment to focus on your intention for the reading. What aspects of your life do you want to reflect on during this Easter season?

Shuffle and Draw: Shuffle your tarot deck while keeping your intention in mind. Lay as many cards as you feel is intuitively right for you (ideally between 3 and 5).

Interpret the Cards: Take your time to interpret each card in the context of your question.

Reflect:  To finish, reflect on how the messages from the cards can guide you and how you can embrace renewal and rebirth in your life.

Have a wonderful Easter, even if it is just an excuse to overindulge in chocolate!

    The first thing I did as we entered 2024 was to contact potential speakers and venue.  It is important to me that venue contracts are signed, and speakers lined up early in the year, that way I can breathe but still have plenty of room to play with if there are any hiccups along the…

    I’m currently preparing for my Canterbury event on June 6th.  As I do my homework, I find myself thinking about my school days when trips to the cathedral were part of the curriculum.

    It always astounds me when I realise how much the UK Tarot Conference has influenced and attracted attention from overseas, connections made with strangers, whose only link between us is Tarot, have been a huge and unexpected blessing.   I promised that this year, as we reach the end of the major arcana that the event…
