Adobe has come up with a fun quiz – with excellent graphics – to help you not only identify which creative type you might be, but also which other type you would collaborate well. I thought that it might be fun to try to map them to the court cards! Read more…
Spotted this description of personality types in Thalassa Therese’s timeline this morning on Facebook – the 17 Genders as per the Regles de Composition by Marc Antoine Charpentier, 1682. Of course, we know already that the sexes of the characters in the Court Cards has no bearing at all on Read more…
Just a bit of Tarot Court Card fun to start us thinking about what we want for ourselves in 2019. I’ve done this for the past three years or so and it’s just a bit of fun, not rooted in any deep and meaningful ancient system. Just my own 🙂 Read more…
So, Thursday rolled around – the date that we’d all been dreading – the day that my mother was moving to an apartment in an ‘independent living’ complex. Why the dread? The flat is lovely and I expect her to be much happier living there with lots of people around Read more…
We all have roles that we play in life – child, sibling, friend, lover, partner, parent, colleague, boss, grand-parent, high priestess …. hey, it’s your life, your roles 🙂 Whether we are anchorite nuns, mothers of millions, CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, we will all experience, God help us, that Read more…

I’m as envious as a very envious thing.
Inside my head, I am good at yoga – very bendy, very strong and about 20 years old. Outside my head I am not very good at yoga – I’m reasonably bendy, my language is stronger than my body and I am, of course, considerably older than 20.
Recently I’ve been seeing a few tweets and fb posts about gender and ethnicity in the tarot and how we can ensure that the entire spectrums of both are represented. People, perfectly reasonably, want to see themselves reflected in the tool that they work with on a daily basis. Since Read more…

One of the side effects of living as Elizabeth Taylor for a week (other than really sore eyes from too much mascara and eye-liner) was an unhealthy interest in her many husbands. And bourbon.
Why not, suggested a friend, write about her husbands and relate them to various Tarot court cards? Why not, indeed.
Elizabeth Taylor’s love life is the stuff of legend – death, divorce, adultery – all seen through the lens of a newly born media merry-go-round.
Mine is exactly the same – apart from the death, adultery and celebrity, of course.
There’s a lot to get through – shall we just dive in?
