September 2025 Update

The countdown to the 22nd UK Tarot Conference has officially begun, and as always, this close to the event, I find myself lying in bed, wide awake as ideas and reminders flood my mind around 3 a.m.— my memory leaping into action in the quiet hours 😊. September is always a busy month, it’s a balancing act of ticking off tasks on the list while staying flexible in case of last-minute changes that could throw a spanner in the works. Staying prepared for any eventuality is key!

So, I took an unplanned trip to the venue this month as our events manager has changed (What is it with hospitality that no one stays anywhere long?).  Anyway, a pleasant email from Husein, who has taken the role, saying he would be taking care of us, had me jumping on a train to meet him in person. I am relieved to say, he was on the ball and up to speed with all our requirements. 

Once again, I am truly amazed by the generosity of publishers and individuals who sponsor your goodie bags. In the early years of the conference, I was much too shy to ask for anything, but the incredible reputation the event has built worldwide is truly humbling. It’s a great honour to be associated with some of the biggest names in MBS publishing. Thank you, Llewellyn, Red Feather, Hay House, Lo Scarabeo, US Games, Boocult, and Pongpunt Wongnongteoi. I am genuinely touched by the kindness of so many amazing tarot friends who support us.

As we wind up the arcana run, reaching 22 years, we have plenty in store to make this conference a standout event.  Part of this is the creation of Arcana 78, which has created an unexpected life of its own. I will explain more at the conference. Chris Butler has been a dream to work with, and the cards are beautiful.  

It is an honour to welcome so many people from around the world this year, joining us in London from every corner of the UK, Europe, America, Canada, Australia, and the far East, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan and China, you have my promise that I will do everything in my power to make this an unforgettable experience (for all the RIGHT reasons of course!).

Everyone attending will receive an ‘All you need to Know’ email from me about a week before the conference, and if you are joining us virtually, look out for an email a few days before the event with all the information you need for a wonderful Tarot experience.

Virtual tickets are available http://tarotconference.co.uk/booking/

This is the last NEWS update before the conference. You can keep updated with the event by joining our Facebook page ‘UK Tarot Conference Group’, or IG @uktarotconference.

See you on the otherside!
