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

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

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 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

Drowning in Information Starving for Wisdom

I read the above quote on Facebook the other day, which is kind of ironic. As Facebook is based on an endless ream of information presented in user-friendly bites. Whilst wisdom tends to be found in books, in D & M sessions with intimates, through meditation or when immersing oneself in nature.

What is the Tarot difference between the two? This…

The Tarot of Grace and Frankie

My latest television obsession is a Netflix program called ‘Grace and Frankie’.

I don’t know why I enjoy this show so much. I’m not really a series kind-of girl. I prefer my television short and sharp, like mini-series or movies. In a long-term drama character development can often stop making sense in an effort to maintain the excitement.

But I like this one. Maybe because it’s a bit like a middle-age Friends. I enjoy watching the characters negotiate the little everyday challenges that can be thrown your way later on in life.

Let’s dive deep into the Tarot of Grace and Frankie shall we… Continue reading

The Word Nazi

A bar in New York City’s East Village has posted a sign banning the word ‘literally’ from the establishment. If you say the word inside the bar you get 5 minutes to finish your drink before you get kicked out. If you start a sentence with literally you have to leave immediately. This is literally hilarious.

So, which Tarot card represents a word Nazi. Well, swords represent words so maybe this one… Continue reading
