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 returned to normal post-C*vid, I've [...]

Just back from a Mediterranean cruise, I've developed a habit of searching out Tarot shops wherever I travel. Dubrovnik, apparently has quite an active Tarot scene, and I had my heart set on visiting a specific shop I'd researched beforehand. After walking in circles trying to find it, it was closed when I arrived!!!! Peering through the window, I couldn't [...]

As the conference gets ever closer, the excitement is building as the first shipment of goodies arrived today, courtesy of our friends at Lo Scarabeo. It's as if the universe is conspiring to make this year's conference even more special as aside from the lovely people at Llewellyn, three more companies and a wonderful individual have confirmed their participation in [...]

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 those holding tickets on a [...]

Its all about the publications!  We are delighted to announce a dedicated author book signing space at the conference.  Titles and authors appearing in person include: The Sherwood Tarot by Mark Ryan & John Matthews, The Fool’s New Journey by John Matthews, The Bee Tarot by Kristoffer Hughes and The High Priestess and The Empress by Susan Wands! Talking of [...]

They say January is the longest month of the year, but for me it went by way too fast, not only tying up loose ends with the Conference venue, but also working on a new project which is confirmed in the diary for 3-5th April 2025 (more on this later) the month went by in a flash. I am getting [...]

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 way.   I have spoken to [...]

New Year Reading and Cards for 2024 I am using the ‘The Good Karma’ Tarot by Kerry Ward published by Welbeck Publishing The year ahead is influenced by the Five of Cups, yikes!  However, it reminds us that we hold the key to shaping our year ahead.  Don’t look back, as what is done is done, so there is no [...]

December News Can you believe another year is almost at an end.   It has been quite a year with the anticipation of the 20th UK Tarot Conference, new venue, and speakers both familiar and new to us gracing my stage.   This conference was the absolute highlight for me and I know the Judgement theme touched many of you. Although you [...]

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 [...]
