The latest chapter in my Tarot Teaclub series, The High Priestess, has now been published on Amazon Kindle. You can access it for free from Thursday 24th June to Saturday 26th June, and on the 21st of each month (U.S. Time)
The first book in the series, The Fool, is also available to read for free on those dates.
The Magician will be available on the 21st of every month for free from July (I stuffed up the dates for June somehow???)
The links to each book are below…
June 21st marks a turning point in the year.
It’s when the Earth takes a pause in its tilt towards or away from the Sun. It appears to take stock of its progress, before moving in a new direction.
We can do the same!
If it’s the Winter Solstice where you are, it’s a good time to do this…
Two of Pentacles: Weigh up what you care about most
Then you can…
The Magician: Set goals for the year ahead
The Winter Solstice is Nature’s New Year!
If it’s the Summer Solstice where you are, stop and do this…
Seven of Pentacles: Reflect on your progress
The Summer Solstice is a good time to celebrate your achievements, and fine-tune your goals for the second half of the year.
But what does the word solstice mean?
Page of Swords: Learning about words
The word solstice comes from Latin. Sol meaning Sun and sistere meaning to stand still. Originally, we thought the Sun leaned towards us, instead of us towards it.
In celebration of the solstice, I’ve just submitted the latest chapter of The Tarot Teaclub to Amazon for publication. I’ll let you know when it’s available to read.
Happy Solstice everyone!
I tend to come and go on this blog. The thing is, I can’t access my ‘Tarot brain’ all the time. Only when I’m in a certain mental state. Maybe that’s true for you as well?
Let’s explore the Tarot of Tarot reading shall we… Continue reading
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.
Kids definitely don’t seem to respond to this strategy… Continue reading
The movie Frozen has been an absolute phenomenon.
The World: Its been popular all round the world with boys and girls alike.

“The most beautiful and deepest experience a man can have is the sense of the mysterious. It is the underlying principle of religion as well as of all serious endeavour in art and science. He who never had this experience seems to me, if not dead, then at least blind. To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is a something that our minds cannot grasp, whose beauty and sublimely reaches us only indirectly: this is religiousness. In this sense I am religious. To me it suffices to wonder at these secrets and to attempt humbly to grasp with my mind a mere image of the lofty structure of all there is.”
Albert Einstein
Spiritual practice will not eliminate negative emotions. Emotions are part of the palette of life, part of the way consciousness moves. Not only can’t you get rid of them, but you’d feel empty and impoverished if you did. Practice can change your relationship to emotions, so that instead of being swamped by certain feeling states, you can hold them, contain them, see into their essence, and ultimately, use emotions in the service of your liberation.

I read this on Mystic Medusa’s blog today and immediately thought: Hells to the yeah! Too many peeps confuse being a spiritual person with being a good person. Imo they are not the same thing and you can see this clearly in Life Lessons Tarot (aka the Major Arcana).
You can be interested in spirituality as represented by this card… Continue reading
It’s a quote filled blog today. This flashed up on my screen courtesy of WordPress…
‘Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.’ Marsha Norman.
Dreams are how our soul communicates with us. Not easy to understand. When in doubt, do what the High Priestess does, go with your gut.
My WordPress host keeps throwing quotes at me too good not to comment on. Today’s thought is: ‘Writing is a struggle against silence.’ Carlos Fuentes (A writer obviously!)
Puts me in mind of this card…
The High Priestess: It’s a writer’s job to reveal the secrets she keeps. The mysteries of life. But the High Priestess herself ain’t talking. The writer has to dig them out for him or herself!
Following on from my last post about dreaming I thought I’d briefly recap one of the main differences between The Magician and The High Priestess. These two cards represent the two types of mental intelligence as follows…
