August has been a surprisingly busy month. Usually, July and August are quiet on the conference front, but there has been lots to deal with. I had a meeting with the events team at the venue, and everything is as it should be. A catch-up with Neil Kelso, as we talked about magic and had a…
July is a slow month for the conference; most things are in hand by now, and other than sending the final invoices for ticket payments and receiving the wonderful news that Weiser/Red Feather are to be one of our amazing sponsors for the conference, and creating new banners for the conference, I have had time…
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….
May has been a very busy month. I had a wonderful meeting with Jon from Rockpool, who has confirmed they will be joining our exclusive list of sponsors for the 2026 conference. In these challenging times, I never take anything for granted and am deeply grateful that Rockpool, Llewellyn, Hay House, Red Feather, and Lo…
I’m currently preparing for my Canterbury event on June 6th. As I do my homework, I find myself thinking about my school days when trips to the cathedral were part of the curriculum. I must admit, I found all the historical details quite boring back then. However, gaining a deeper understanding of the religious and…
March was a whirlwind. Each year, I attend the London Book Fair with Steven Bright, other than a good catch-up with Steven, the visit is primarily to reconnect with publisher friends and to secure items for the UK Tarot Conference goodie bags. I’m aware that I’ve set a high standard for these goodie bags—arguably the…
February has been a busy month; we celebrated Valentine’s Day, welcomed the Chinese New Year of the Fire Horse, and, most notably, announced the upcoming 2026 UK Tarot Conference speakers. I am thrilled to welcome such a fabulous lineup of speakers, renowned experts and enthusiasts in the world of Tarot and of course, we’ll be…
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…
Can you believe another year is almost over? I truly loved this year’s conference — celebrating the Fool, the new venue, and the incredible speakers made it a standout for me. Honestly, this was the highlight of my year, and from the feedback I’ve received, I know you felt the same way. While I’m usually…
November tends to be a slow month for work, which I deliberately chose. I close my books to focus on things I’ve neglected. Right now, I’m going through my Tarot collection—some decks date back decades, and I honestly don’t know what to do with everything. I’ve accumulated over 100 books and more than 300 decks,…
