December 2025 Update

Can you believe another year is almost over? I truly loved this year’s conference — celebrating the Fool, the new venue, and the incredible speakers made it a standout for me. Honestly, this was the highlight of my year, and from the feedback I’ve received, I know you felt the same way.

While I’m usually the one introducing the speakers, it’s rare for me to step up and speak myself. I’ll admit, I get nervous standing on stage — but once I got going, I really enjoyed it! Anyway, if you would like to check out my workshop for yourself, here is a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU-P7MZy1Yc

As the year comes to a close, it’s a perfect time to reflect. I want to say a big thank you to all the publishers who supported our goodie bags: Bill Krause/Llewellyn, Mario/Lo Scarabeo, Severine Jeauneau/Red Feather, Michelle Pilley/Hay House, Pongpunt/Gypsy Fair Thailand, @boo_cult — and everyone who donated items for the Bursary and raffle. Your generosity truly makes this event special.  And of course, a few special people, Helen Hall, Steven Bright and Liz Dowden — Liz makes the best cake and runs the stand at the conference. I am so grateful to have so many wonderful people in my life, too many to name everyone, but you know who you are.

A special shoutout to Chris Butler for creating Arcana 78 — such a fantastic project! Keep an eye out, because something very exciting is coming.  Yes, it is the gift that keeps on giving! There are just 8 decks left from the first limited print run http://tarotconference.co.uk/

This year I had a dream trip to Salem, Betty Jane Ware, thank you for being such a great friend and my personal Salem tour guide, we had a ball.

Looking ahead, planning for the 2026 Magician Conference is already underway! Speakers are booked, and we have some surprises in store. This year, we’ll be celebrating the 75th anniversary of Pamela Colman Smith in style — it’s going to be something special!   http://tarotconference.co.uk/booking/

Tarot by the Sea in March is sold out, and on June 6th, I am launching a mini Tarot Day in the heart of Canterbury. There is an Early Bird offer running until mid-January http://tarotconference.co.uk/special-events/  

Thanks for being part of this journey. Here’s to a fantastic end to the year and an exciting year ahead!

Martin and I would like to wish you all a wonderful Yule and a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year. 

With much love, Kim x

    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…

    May has been a very busy month. I had a wonderful meeting with Jon from Rockpool, who has confirmed they will be joining our exclusive list of sponsors for the 2026 conference.

    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…

    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,…
