So how does Tarot tell you someone is a friend rather than a lover?

Meaningless Work Phrases
We’ve all heard them. Those meaningless phrases peeps use to make themselves sound intelligent in meetings.
Recently, stand-up comedian Adam Hess started a Twitter storm when he tweeted a phrase that he finds always gets work colleagues on side.
Let’s see if you recognise some of the following.
It started with this… Continue reading
The Tarot of Mental Illness
I’ve talked about mental illness before. But in my opinion, as someone who’s had extensive experience in this area, you can never talk about it enough. There are lots of peeps suffering out there with one form or another of this insidious disease.
Let’s dive deep into the Tarot of Mental Illness shall we… Continue reading
Parkland Students Plastic Backpacks
Like many other people I suspect, I’ve been blown away by the actions of the Parkland students, in response to the terrible tragedy that occurred at their school. Shockingly, these children are being forced to become political activists in the face of the appalling apathy shown by the adults who are meant to care for them.
As an Australian, I find this hard to comprehend. We had a massive gun buy-back after a mass shooting in the 90s and there have been no comparable events since. Prioritising gun ownership over lives is valuing our fears over love. It just seems wrong.
The Parkland High students have recently been given clear plastic schoolbags to ‘keep them safe’. The idea is that no one can hide a gun in a clear bag (um, they could just put another bag inside it, surely. Doh!) The students are not happy about this pathetic gesture, not to mention the invasion of their privacy (tampons!), and have decorated the bags to express their displeasure.
Here are a few examples… Continue reading
The Tattooist of Auschwitz
Easter is a time of hope. It therefore seems the perfect moment to explore the riveting survival tale of the Jewish man who tattoed prisoners at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War 2. His story has not come to light until now because of the incredible guilt he carried about what he was forced to do to his fellow prisoners.
Let’s explore his story shall we? No spoilers, I promise. Continue reading
The Tarot of the Facebook Scandal
I heart this meme.
It’s been created in response to the current scandal surrounding Facebook which has seen many users ditch the social media platform. In the most damaging controversy to ever hit Facebook it has been accused of allowing another company to harvest personal data to influence the last U.S. election.
So which Tarot cards are involved? Continue reading
Saturday Night Fight Club: Delusion Vs Psychosis
Delusion and psychosis are similar states of being but vary in intensity.
Delusion is when you kid yourself but kind of know it deep down.
Psychosis is when you kid yourself to the point you’ve completely lost touch with reality.
So how do you tell the difference in a Tarot reading? Continue reading
All I Know Is The Sun Is Shining Yet We Fight All Through The Night
At the music concert the other night, one line by Bliss N Eso really caught my attention…
All I know is the sun is shining yet we fight all through the night
It’s in a song called ‘The Sea Is Rising’ about our collective refusal to tackle environmental issues seriously. However for me, it reflects how easy it is to get caught up in our daily anxieties and forget how beautiful the world is. This is such a part of the modern condition, leading to serious mental health issues, such as depression and psychosis.
For me that line is best summed up by this card… Continue reading
The Tarot of a Music Concert
I was lucky enough to see Ed Sheeran in concert the other night, with the added bonus of one of my favourite Australian musical acts, Missy Higgins, thrown in. I bought the ticket a couple of hours beforehand on impulse. It was a beautiful Melbourne day, the concert had been getting rave reviews, and I have a soft spot for Missy (even more than Ed).
This led me to wonder about the Tarot of a Music Concert.
Let’s explore that, shall we? Continue reading
The Tarot of Micro Cheating
Are you micro-cheating on your partner? Are you sure?
Micro-cheating is a series of seemingly small actions that indicate a person is emotionally or physically focussed on someone outside their relationship. It could take place on social media or at work or within your friendship circle.
I guess the answer comes down to one question… Continue reading
