Gordon Brown’s nail biting habit – a palmist’s view

LONDON - JUNE 27:  Newly appointed Prime Minis...

More than ever politics is obsessed about spin and presentation. A lot of time and thought goes into the style of clothes, haircut, voice – the list is endless. Gordon Brown took over from Tony Blair, who clearly used make-up and anything else to improve how he looked. Gordon is the antithesis of Tony, a man who likes to be seen as solid, heavyweight, no gimmicks. Read More »

How watery is the Hanged Man?

Take a close look at the Golden Dawn’s Hanged Man. Do you see any evidence of water in the man suspended upside down? Do you see any connection between the profound life-giving precious substance that may one day be more expensive than oil, and the notion of sacrifice and suspension? I don’t, and yet when I see this card in a reading, it invariably suggests some idea of renunciation, of giving up. Read More »

Lifting Spirits at Occulture

After a very long wait of six years Occulture has at last come back. The Solar Event was originally going to run till around 6pm, but an evening Lunar event was added later. I was asked to reprise my talk on the Tarot which I had done in 2003. Immediately I decided to name the talk Tarot Cabaret, which sound great unless you knew that my experience of cabaret is insignificant. Read More »

Women in Tarot e-book

Just read a great little gem on women who have contributed to the tarot in recent times, by Bonnie Cehovet,  including an interview with Catherine Chapman on her experiences writing her first book with me, and her views on where tarot is going.

Soaking up the rays in Florida

Now I am over the jetlag, I am really starting to enjoy Florida – first real break in over a year. Apparently it has been pretty cold here, but now it is warming up. I watched the promo video of Florida on the long flight over, and instantly decided Disneyworld, and all the other tourist attractions are not for me

There are a few hassles – Facebook instantly noticed the change of location, and have decided not to allow me to login, so if you want to become a friend, or expect me to reply something on FB, I apologise in advance. This post should appear on FB…

Also, I decided not to allow roaming on my mobile phone – a pound to receive a call, what a rip off! So, if you want to contact me, I am still available on Skype, or you can email the old-fashioned way. I am available for doing the odd tarot reading too.

I am staying in Fort Lauderdale right close to the sea, and while it is too cold to swim, walking barefoot on the beach has been great, and  I am here long enough to get a good tan.

I have noticed there are quite a lot of ‘Psychics’, but there is never one with someone in, so I guess the lights are on but nobody’s at home. If you want a tarot reading in Brighton, my office has a guest reader! Asuf Mann is a relative of my teacher Punditt Maharaj, so pop in and say hello.

Went out to the swamp the other day, well, what’s left of the swamp, didn’t see any alligators, but there will be a trip to the Everglades. Birdlife is impressive, even in the city. I have seen loads of pelicans, herons, hawks, and even a flock of ibis (sacred to Thoth). Vultures are everywhere.

Paul with blues guitarist Poppa "E"

Found some great blues too. We were at the Downtowners last night, and Poppa “E” was playing. We walked out amazed to discover it was nearly 2am – where did the time go?

I took the webcam with me, and I plan to get on and do more videos on the tarot, so plenty to do. Watch me go red, and then brown.
