December 2024 Update

The December Newsletter is always a moment of reflection for me, a time to look back on the year and evaluate the highs and lows.

This year’s conference was arguably one of the best we’ve had since the pandemic. And while there were a few behind-the-scenes stresses, it’s essential that all of you see only a seamless event which looking at your lovely feedback it was!

As I wrap up the year, I find myself incredibly grateful for so many people. First and foremost, I want to thank you for being part of my tarot family. Also, our wonderful sponsors—Llewellyn, Schiffer, Red Feather, Hay House, Lo Scarabeo, Pongpunt Wongnongteoi, Watkins, and Kindred Spirit magazine. I remember the days when I had to scramble for items for our goodie bags, and now I feel truly blessed to have such amazing publishers generously supporting the UK Tarot Conference. (Deposits are open we are already over half full for 2025). Click here.

In other news, I had the joy of attending the official launch of the Vedic Tarot, hosted by Dwina Gibb. It was a lovely night filled with wonderful people—and an excuse to wear a fancy suit and high heels! Dwina’s journey in creating this deck is captivating, and I must say, the accompanying book is a fantastic read. Support your local bookstores or check it out here.

I’ve pulled out my Yuletide Tarot from the shelves, and I’m really enjoying using this deck throughout the holiday season. Kudos to Kristoffer Hughes and Erin O’Leary Brown for creating such a lovely deck; I highly recommend it! Click here.

Talking of recommending ……. My four-page article in the Winter Edition of Kindred Spirit magazine is now on the shelves, see what decks caught my eye and which ones didn’t quite hit the mark (I know tastes vary, but I did receive some questionable decks lol).

As for 2025 = 9, the Hermit card doesn’t evoke the best feelings for me. I have a hunch that we may face challenges next year. However, I believe the Hermit encourages us to reflect on how we can navigate the possible storm ahead and take the time we need for introspection. (Hermit card is ME from the Unique Tarot Deck by TarotJo). Click here.

Finally, before I bid you a heartfelt hug, whatever you are doing over the festive season, stay safe, have fun, take time to walk, indulge, scrap the diet until January and think about how the Hermits energy can help you navigate 2025 as best you can.

That is all for 2024, as they say that’s a wrap!

Much love and a happy Yule/Christmas and wishing you a healthy and abundant 2025.

Kim

    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…

    You would think six months prior to a fully sold-out conference life would be easy. If anything, it is picking up pace. I honestly don’t know where the time goes. My priority is always the conference, as you know the in person event is sold out, and I have been following up with emails checking that…
