I spent most of last week in Edinburgh, being dragged like a sulky teenager from exhibition to exhibition as my partner and son dabbled excitedly in the Black Arts of science: It was all dancing robots, LEGO mindstorms computer-assisted robots and, frankly, a lot of red wine and convenience foods.

Well, not really a competition, more of a give-away to be honest! I’ve got a copy of the perennially popular Robin Wood Tarot to give away! Although the box has been opened, the deck inside is still shrink-wrapped. It is a duplicate of a deck that I already own (the Read more…
Tyrion Lannister. Yes, I would. Tonight wild horses will not be able to tear me away from the telly (nor will a naked Hugh Jackman reclining on a king-sized bed and brandishing a large jar of warmed honey). No, nothing will be able to tempt me away from Sky Atlantic Read more…

If you have just hopped over from Andrew’s blog for the Tarot Blog Hop – welcome! I’m really pleased to see you here! *dusts down a chair and offers to the reader* If you’ve not been here before, my blog focuses entirely on the Court Cards of the Tarot, so Read more…
