November News November is always a strange month for me, although there is always conference work to do, generally it is a time when I can step back, at least for a short while. After the conference Martin and I headed off to Pompeii, we had booked this trip just before lockdown and had to cancel, so it had been [...]

UK Tarot Conference Round Up The 2023 UK Tarot Conference has happened.  I am not going to lie, the build up has been full of frustration, mainly because the venue never answered emails without being chased, phone calls not returned and most of the time I was left in limbo. However, praise where praise is due, they pulled it out [...]

I start planning the conference immediately after the last one finishes, we have now gone from counting the months to counting days! Final preparations are being made, most of the presentations and handouts are with me and the register for ‘in person’ attendance is well and truly closed.   The number of virtual attendees are higher than ever before, those of [...]

  It is time to reveal a secret project I have been working on with the amazing Chris Butler.  I have spoken before about a deck of major arcana cards I created for the 10th anniversary, well of course I was not going to let 20 years pass by without something special.  I asked Chris if he would revamp my [...]

The menus have arrived from the Marquis Cornwallis pub for our Thursday evening gathering. The hot and cold buffet choices look delicious, we will of course cater for vegetarian and vegans, I will be in touch beforehand to ask about any food allergies.  Normally our pre-conference gathering is around 30 people this year it is 50!  I am just glad [...]

The Tarot conference is more than a place for learning, it is a gathering of kindred spirits, anyone who arrives as a stranger will leave as a friend. I have travelled as far as Canada to have dinner with a friend met via Tarot, I honestly do not think there is a place on the planet where I could visit [...]

Not much to report on the UK Tarot Conference front this month, everything is in hand for now.  The in-person tickets are SOLD OUT but of course we are offering virtual tickets which are on sale here http://tarotconference.co.uk/uk-programme/ I have just come back from a long weekend in Sweden as I was speaking at the Stockholm Tarot Conference, it was [...]

It has been a busy few weeks preparing the conference programme ready for print, juggling timings and adding more names, it has been quite the jigsaw. The programme is just having its final proofread, then it is good to go to the printers. I hope to have this by the end of the month. Two more names have been added [...]

It has been a while since I have updated the News page, so here we go. This year we are changing venues, we are off to Bloomsbury at the Holiday Inn, the conference room is much bigger than our old venue in Kensington, unfortunately there aren’t screens around the room as before, however, we are looking into the possibility of [...]

Last year I was asked about my conference logo, 18 years in and I realised I have never had one!   So, I contacted the amazing artist Chris Butler and we put this wrong to right. After much discussion, Chris produced some great ideas, which was lucky as I am as artistically creative as a stone.   Yet with his wonderful guidance [...]
