June 2026 Update
On June 6th, I had the pleasure of hosting a one-day Tarot event, held near my home in Canterbury, Kent. After months of pondering themes, I realised that sticking with the title—UK Tarot Conference—was perfectly fine. Having hosted the Tarot conference for 23 years, I believe the name is well-established and stands strong on its own. The event was fully booked and a great success; it was wonderful to see friends from previous conferences alongside new faces I’ve only connected with through social media. I’m considering bringing the event back in 2027, but for now, my full focus is on the main UK Tarot Conference in October.
This month also saw me invited as a panellist at the Tarot Cultures event in London, organised by Goldsmiths University. What struck me most was how Tarot is evolving—scholars and academics are delving deep into the cards’ origins and theories, expanding our understanding in fascinating ways. It was a privilege to listen to insightful talks and lectures, and I feel grateful for the opportunity to hear findings I might not have encountered otherwise.
It was a pleasure to spend a day in London meeting with Letao Wang and Juliet Sharman-Burke for lunch in Covent Garden. Juliet and I realised we’ve known each other for 25 years, and we’re still laughing about our trip to Italy. On that note, I have a major revelation to share soon—I’ve finally had a document translated into English that uncovers something previously unknown within the Tarot community. It could be groundbreaking. I promise, I won’t keep you waiting on this.
Boxes are starting to arrive for your UK Tarot Conference goodie bags (Thank you, Llewellyn and Lo Scarabeo). The delivery person, struggling to push a pile of boxes up to his armpits in this hot weather, deserves a medal.
Regarding the UK Tarot Conference, we’re nearly sold out—only 6 tickets left for Friday and 8 for Saturday. Of course, there’s always the virtual option if you can’t make it in person.
