For the past ten days or so, I have been feeling as though I am living through the looking glass – and it’s not good, with cake that says ‘Eat Me’. I’m not even an American. What a challenge it is to be a liberally-minded American at the moment, because:
YES, Trump wants to build an actual wall.
YES, Trump shuts out Syrian refugees from America (allegedly for only a set period of time. We’ll see) Dear America, what happened to ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore’?

Last year’s Mother’s Day Tokens Still unspent! Originally Mothers’ Day was when people returned to their Mother Church. These days, Mothers’ Day has become a Hallmark schmaltz-fest directed at Mothers everywhere. In the UK we have Mothering Sunday on the 6th. Yes, we know that it’s all a big commercial Read more…

There’s a lot to get through – shall we just dive in?
She’s the gal for me! Question: What card do I pull the most often? Why do I think that is the case? I had a look back through the Tarot cards that I have pulled when I was selecting a Court Card’s energies to guide me from a) the dark Read more…
So, what can you expect – the house is freezing cold, I am feeling like death warmed up, I have just had a huge nose-bleed and a mysterious bout of nausea – who else but the Tarot’s Queen of Wands to pop me right back on track! This Queen of Read more…
My inspiration! The theme for Imbolc’s Tarot bog hop is ‘what is in your belly’. If this is your first time to my blog, you are very welcome indeed. This Game of Thrones (AKA Tarot Thrones) focuses on the Tarot court cards and aims to make them fun and accessible. Read more…
