The Tarot of Holiday Recovery
There was no chance to write blog posts while I was away or for the first five days I’ve been back. Travelling on your own is exhausting, plus I got the usual Bali belly and other ailments one picks up when moving around from place to place. I’ve needed recovery time.
Let’s explore that a little.
First, there’s this…
Continue readingThrowback Thursday: The Holy Book of Tarot – Maturity
I’ve written before about how Tarot contains a holy book that charts the journey of a human soul through all the stages and experiences of life. I call these cards Life Lessons Tarot, although they’re better known as the Major Arcana.
These lessons are divided into three parts.
We’ve already looked at the first two parts in recent weeks: Childhood & Adulthood.
The third volume is a guide to becoming not just a functioning adult, but a mature one.
These last seven cards of Tarot’s Holy Book are the most intense to live through. They will shake, rattle and roll your world. But if you can manage their energies in a positive way, you get to hit the jackpot. You get The World!
They can be described as follows…

Is it just me or does life feel challenging at the moment?
There’s the rising cost-of-living, testing political situations, devastating fires (or floods or other climate events), needless wars, and online bots dedicated to spreading lies about everything. It’s like the ground beneath us has shifted in recent times, making it hard for us to stay afloat.
Which is this card…

Thanks to the coronavirus, commencement speeches have been forced online this year.
Whilst it obviously isn’t the same as having a real-life graduation, it’s been wonderful to see so many prominent members of our community take time to remember the Class of 2020.
But what lessons would Tarot wish to convey to graduates?
I believe we find the answer in the last line of the Major Arcana. Or as I like to call it, the Life Lessons section of the Tarot deck. Let’s take a look, shall we?
The Tarot of 2020
Some Good News
There’s nothing like some good news when it feels like the world is ending.
The Tower: Sudden Change
I’ve been avidly watching the youtube series ‘Some Good News’ produced by the actor and director John Krasinski, which focuses on good news stories from around the world.
Ace of Wands: Inspiring achievements
My favourite episode was the one where the cast of The Office re-enacted Pam and Jim’s wedding dance.

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
The Tarot Of Reading
Recently I stayed up reading till 6am. I’m hopeless. Once I start a good book I find it hard to put it down. For that reason I limit myself to reading on the holidays. Otherwise I’d get nothing done, lol. Three recent favorites are above. Let’s explore the Tarot of Reading, shall we?
