June 2025 Update

This month, I had a meeting with the events team at The Copthorne Tara Hotel. Julie, my new contact, was delightful, professional, and on the ball, something I haven’t been used to in the past (lol).    She could not have been more helpful, which in turn stops me from hyperventilating!   Although we have a larger space this year, I am still capping attendance at 100 people, partly because of the logistics of dealing with more people than this and bringing the goodie bag stock in my car, which, to be honest, I could use a removal van!     A reminder that if you are holding a ticket on deposit, you can pay an amount via our ‘Pay as you Go’ option http://tarotconference.co.uk/booking/. Invoices for the outstanding balance will be sent in early July for payment by 8th August.     If you are switching to virtual, please can you let me know, as numbers need to be finalised.

On Instagram, we launched a great competition to win a virtual ticket and a goodie bag, which has been ‘liked and shared’ many times.  The competition runs until 1st September, so if you want to enter, get yourself on the page and follow the instructions.   We have revamped the speakers’ tiles for Instagram, they do look stunning in pink, check out all the IG posts @uktarotconference

It is always a lovely surprise when something unexpected drops into my inbox.   Charles Newington has created many artworks which feature the Fool, you are the first to know that a small exhibition will be on display at the conference and available for purchase.  

And ……. More news   …… Arcana 78 is now complete, a beautiful deck by Chris Butler, created to celebrate 22 years of the UK Tarot Conference.  It is stunning, the Court cards are dedicated to many ‘famous’ people in our industry, both alive and dead.   The deck is clever, usable, striking, and Limited Edition.    We plan to go to print at the end of this month.   It will only be available at the conference, once sold out, that will be it.       More images and information will be shared next month.

That’s all for June, I am popping to Edinburgh next week and hope to meet up with Tarot friends, in the meantime, enjoy the energy of the Summer Solstice.

    November tends to be a slow month for work, which I deliberately chose. I close my books to focus on things I’ve neglected. Right now, I’m going through my Tarot collection—some decks date back decades, and I honestly don’t know what to do with everything. I’ve accumulated over 100 books and more than 300 decks,…

    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…

    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…

    It has been a busy and interesting month.  Martin retires at the end of July, and this has actioned many ‘goodbye’ events, firstly from his team in Edinburgh, Scotland.  I flew up for a few days and took the train from Edinburgh to Glasgow to have tea with Marion Kirk.   Glasgow is a beautiful city,…
