Nudging
A nudge is a little push. Animals nudge their young to steer them in the right direction. And now behavioural scientists are suggesting parents use this strategy as well, to steer their young in the right direction.

Crying Wolf
One of the most famous English folktales is ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’. The story goes that a young shepherd would trick his fellow villagers by shouting for help, pretending that wolves were attacking his sheep. Several times the villagers rushed to his aid, only to discover the shepherd laughing at them. Of course, when a wolf really did attack, no-one came to his aid.
This week local officials in my hometown pleaded for people to stop “crying wolf” because… Continue reading

Happily things have improved since then. But which Tarot card would this feeling be represented by?
Maybe this one… Continue reading
The Tarot of Terror
Any Doctor Who fans following this blog?
You’d recognise the above image then. A Weeping Angel. One of the most feared and truly terrifying creatures in the Whovian universe. They kill with a single touch. Propelling their victims back in time, before birth, so they can feed off it’s potential life energy. If you stumble into their lair, you have to keep your eye on them. Literally. Whilst watched, they freeze like a statue, but in the blink of an eye can be by your side, with hand outstretched.
I was feeling terror about something today. No biggie. A momentary flash. A realisation about a fear that’s been holding me back.
It made me wonder which Tarot card would be associated with this powerful and consuming emotion.
It has to be this one… Continue reading
