What makes a good tarot blog? What kinds of tarot blog exist in the wild? These are some of the questions I asked myself the other day. What surprised me is how difficult it is to find good blogs, particularly when using the search engines for ‘tarot blog’. Mary Greer’s blog invariably tops the pile, but then the quality rapidly diminishes. Blogs are a vital indicator of the health of a website – the viewer can see how much activity is going on. Many of the blogs are moribund, or just plain awful, so I had to resort to the blog rolls. Continue reading →

Last year I contributed a chapter to Howlings, a book on Goetia and Liber 231, which was great fun. The publishers Scarlet Imprint asked me to contribute to Howlings II, which comes out on
29th October, entitled Diabolical. My first contribution was about Andromalius. This time it is about the Testament of Solomon, the basis for working with spirits. As usual I will drink too much at the launch.
Finally got the updates to Liber 777. I put in tabbed browsing for all the tables, which brought out loads of anomalies, such as the tables on Hell that were above Heaven. I also rationalised the Goetic sections which were a complete mess, and in the wrong places! At some point I will get round to getting more consistency within the tables, but I need a lie down before that.

I am now on my fourth attempt at rationalising the tables on Liber 777, and this time I think I have cracked it. Mind you, I thought I had cracked it previously, but as the months go by, and I look at the pages, I realise there are still serious problems. This time the penny dropped – I had included the Goetic powers in the Major Arcana when they should be in the relevant Minor Arcana pages. Blindingly obvious when you think about it.

I am speaking with Mary Greer at the 100th anniversary of the Rider Waite Deck in London on the 5th December 2009. Kim Arnold asked me months ago if I knew anyone who could speak at the event, so I was a bit surprised to find myself booked. Continue reading →
Last week, the 29th July, I did a talk at the Gossip Girls Network in Camden on reading tarot and palms. Its been a while since I did a talk, and a friend filmed me on my new camcorder, so no pressure then. Continue reading →

Every so often, in a fit of madness, I think about writing software for tarot that reflects the way I read cards. Of course, I am not a programmer so it never gets far Continue reading →
The Tarot Masterclasses are not happening as quickly as I expected. Problems are more technology related than anything else as I try to work on presentation and loads of other technical details.
I always try to do things in a new or different way, and the learning curve is steeper than I expected. So, it looks like I will do things in smaller, easier to attain goals. I am also having to think more about the content of the lessons – yes, the lessons are very different to what is already on Supertarot! So please have patience.
For many years I have regularly seen people who are rising in consciousness when they come for a reading. Now, a far higher percentage of my readings are to do with this phenomena – it happens every day.
