January 2026 Update

January’s been a busy month, and I’m excited to say we’ve got the full lineup for the 2026 UK Tarot Conference sorted! Some names you will recognise instantly, and others not so familiar, but trust me, they are fabulous, I’ll be sharing the details very soon (February 16th). All speakers fit perfectly with the theme of The Magician. Plus, we have experts on Pamela Colman Smith and other old-school Tarot pioneers who played a big role in shaping the Tarot we love today.  It is going to be very special.  

I am excited to share that I have been invited to speak via Zoom on a Podcast hosted by the Tarot Guild of Australia on February 22nd. During the session, I will be talking about this year’s conference theme, “The Magician of Tarot,” delving deeper into the Magician card and offering a few live readings.

Canterbury Event 6th June! Recently, I mentioned in a post about my summer event in Canterbury.  Last year, as we approached the 22nd UK Tarot Conference and completed the major arcana, I found myself questioning whether it was time to hang up my conference organiser hat. The idea of hosting smaller, more local events began to take shape just in case.  However, the conference is going nowhere, I love it too much, but just when I thought I might slow down, life has a way of getting busier—and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I’m delighted to be working in Canterbury alongside my speakers, Steven Bright, Ari Wisner, Lara Van Zuydam, and Joseph Stretch for what promises to be an incredible day in a beautiful city.    And between you and me, I have a little smug smile about this one. Hosting an event just a stone’s throw from Canterbury Cathedral—home of the Archbishop—feels especially meaningful. In the early days, many of you know I faced some challenging experiences, including bullying from members of the Church. So, standing here now, hosting an event in this historic city feels like a powerful statement—a bit of defiance and a lot of celebration.  Tickets are just £90 and include lunch and refreshments throughout the day. http://tarotconference.co.uk/special-events/

February will bring exciting news as the speakers will be announced and after the big reveal, I will be introducing them individually.   Also, there is something quite special bubbling in the background, I hope it happens and I can share with you soon.  Don’t you just hate a cryptic message lol!

Have a great month, as we prepare to welcome the Chinese year of the Fire Horse on February 17th!

Dubrovnik, apparently has quite an active Tarot scene, and I had my heart set on visiting a specific shop I’d researched beforehand.

    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…

    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…

    2025 has had an interesting start and I am hoping the Hermit year improves. After a bout of flu which I passed on to the family (you are welcome), the grandchildren both got chicken pox, I have had this twice in my life which is apparently unheard of but thankfully I escaped the spotty disease!…

    July is typically a quiet period for our conference preparations, aside from following up with attendees who have been holding a ticket on deposit I took the opportunity to take a break with my family and enjoyed a wonderful 7-day stretch of sunshine in Marbella (what is going on with our weather)? As life has…
