I am 4 weeks in to a fitness health plan. It seeme

I am 4 weeks in to a fitness health plan. It seemed easy at first, but the lack of carbs has made me crave a large pizza followed by a cold glass of sauvignon blanc or three.

Just over four weeks ago, I was invited to an art exhibition, just as we should have been going out the door, I was still standing in a pair of knickers looking at the huge pile of clothes on my bed, nothing fit, I felt old, frumpy and fat. After finally throwing on something ordinary looking like I was off to do a Tesco shop, I realised something had to change.

Over decades, I have done countless rounds of Slimming World, realising that the woman taking the class just gets on my nerves and what is she going to do anyway if I eat my body weight in chocolate? Second Nature was good but unsustainable, WW not for me, Noon, paid for that but didn’t do it. Honestly, I probably could have bought my own Health Retreat with all the money down the drain. My own Tarot Diet works with the psychological side of weight, but like any plan, if you don’t answer to anyone, then it is easy to have the ‘stuff it’ moment and fall off the wagon.

Anyway, I am dropping pounds and inches, not going to lie, it is hard to keep up the motivation, but I am 85% focused on the goal. One thing I have realised is that protein is boring, where I used to look forward to meals, now they take so much effort to be inviting. The truth is, I just want pizza! 💭🍕

2004 saw my launch of the first Tarot Conference in the UK. @uktarotconference

Someone asked me what I wanted to achieve, instead of me saying to promote Tarot in a positive light etc, etc (which of course I did), I said, I want Pastor BB to be eating his breakfast, open his newspaper and see me looking back at him. I seriously must be careful what I wish for.

The day before the conference I had a call from the Independent national newspaper. They had heard about the ‘Tarot event’ and wanted to interview me. The Independent used to be a huge (in size and circulation) newspaper. The night before the conference my husband and I stayed in a hotel near to the venue. The article was to be printed on our opening day.

The day we launched the newspaper was duly pushed under our bedroom door and we eagerly opened the paper on the bed, slowly turning each page scouring for my small piece.

It was somewhat of a shock when turned a few pages to see a whole page dedicated to me and Tarot. Bearing in mind at this time Tarot was still a little taboo, this article was a huge deal. Tarot was starting to peek above the precipice, however, still frowned upon by those ignorant of its history and wisdom.

The impact of the article caused issues like you would not believe, it seemed I got my wish, but at a price.

In 2016 I approached my friends Geraldine and Bali Beskin @the.atlantis.bookshop about hosting a Tarot Festival together. I felt there was too long a wait for the conference each year and a ‘lighter’ event was needed somewhere in between. The UK Tarot Conference @uktarotconference is solely mine, but I wanted a partner on board for this project to share the workload and brainstorm ideas.

After much searching, we found a cute venue in north London. Stunning gardens, a workshop room, and a space for stalls. We decorated the venue with bunting to give it a real Festival feel.

The morning of the event, I remember looking out of the door to see a line of people as far as they eye could see, we were only allowed a certain amount of people in the venue due to fire regulations and I was already panicking! Luckily the weather was kind and people were able to use the outside space for relaxation and workshop. It was such a beautiful day all round.

Obviously with lockdowns and covid restrictions we have not had enough time to plan for this year, however, watch this space, we may well bring the festival back in 2023.

This week we reach Strength, and for this card I chose my dear friend Geraldine Beskin, owner of The Atlantis Bookshop @the.atlantis.bookshop. She talks about the early 60’s when her father owned the shop and how she had to wait until she was 9 years old before her grandmother would teach her how to tell fortunes reading playing cards. This is such a fascinating chapter as she shares how they imported Tarot decks in the 70’s which was a huge leap forward for Tarot as the cards slowly trickled out of the USA and made their way into the mainstream. There was still a long journey to go.

Card of the Week: Strength

Strength shows the potential to act well or badly. You have the power to change or deal with any situation, however, think before you act, what are you expecting from the outcome, and is it right for you? Maybe you need to remind yourself that you are stronger than you think, you will deal with challenges as they present themselves with strength and grace.

Glastonbury holds such a special place in my heart

Glastonbury holds such a special place in my heart, I always feel refreshed after a few days visiting there. Each time I go I end up buying a deva from The Crystal Man, they cost an arm and a leg, but I am slowly building a collection.

It is funny how a certain one ‘calls’ I often find the one I want within seconds, but because they cost hundreds to purchase, I leave the shop to think about it, but I always come back for her. These are two from my collection, they are handmade, very delicate and the detail is stunning. I have no idea what their significance is, they are just my magical deva’s somehow to me they represent peace.

Seems impossible that just over a week ago I was enjoying a long weekend at Elvenden Forest.

For the first time in ages, I finally finished a book that has been on my bedside table for months, too tired in the evenings to pick it up.

Spent precious time with the family, knackered ourselves with our live wire little Grandson who was in awe of everything, but most importantly used the opportunity to just breathe.

Sometimes it is important to step out of your familiar environment and take yourself off somewhere new. Doesn’t have to be a night away, just a few hours can recharge the batteries and set you up for the coming days.

With the church gone and my shop about to close, I

With the church gone and my shop about to close, I was on a new mission. I searched high and low for a Tarot Conference somewhere, anywhere, but without any luck, it seemed they did not exist. Then a message reached me about an event in New York, I spoke to the organisers, Ruth Ann and Wald Amberstone and told them about my idea to host an event in London. Before I knew it, I was on a flight to New York attending the very first Readers Studio. I spoke at length with Ruth Ann who told me it would take three years to organise my event. That was April, in October the same year the UK Tarot Conference was born.

The planning for the first UK Tarot Conference was frantic, however, be careful what you wish for, the national press were hot on my heels for a story, Tarot was still taboo in some eyes and I was about to bring it out of the shadows, some didn’t like what I was about to do, even a minority of our own community, here we go again another battle, but this time I had sent the jungle drums banging from every corner of the globe. The church issues now seemed like a drop in the ocean.

More next week...

Reminiscing about past conferences, only once hav

Reminiscing about past conferences, only once have I encountered a speaker who was so bad, I wanted to throw her off the stage. She wafted into my venue full of confidence and promises of how wonderful she was, then proceeded to speak to us like we were a bunch of idiots. I remember sitting listening to her, waiting for something intelligent to come out of her mouth, it didn’t come. She said things like “who knows what major arcana card one is”? Bearing in mind she is talking to a room full of professional or advanced Tarot readers she may as well asked if we could count to ten. Her workshop continued to be mind blowing basic and frankly insulting. I was fuming with her. In the early days I didn’t have the confidence to challenge her, so I ignored her.

After the event she wrote to the lady who had highly recommended her to speak, she said I was rude and had not written her a thank you letter nor sent flowers as a gesture of appreciation. Needless to say, she is off my speakers list and the Christmas card list, dreadful woman. Thankfully, it never happened again, but jeez, talk about self-importance!
