Solanum Ducamara. A lesson in asking for what you need The thing about spellwork, whether delivered from the book, from divine instruction or from your own inspiration is that you often find yourself in need of something very specific and not exactly easy to find. In this case, I’m creating a powerful talisman for dreamwork,…
My ethos of tarot reading is this: there are no universal right or wrong meanings for you to learn; except when there are. Hunh? It’s like this, when you work with The Tarot you are building a life-long relationship that will be uniquely personal to you and will change with time and experience. Learning to…

Reflections on love and light Today we slip into a watery, flowing, space, lit by the warm glow of a flaming torch. This is a space of luminous, love, light and reflections. The New Moon in Sagitarius is dark so our own inner light combines with the flickering torch to reflect our adoring gaze in…
The cards have once again given us a new light source to illuminate our travels. We had The Moon, then the Tower’s bolt of lightning and today we have The Hermit’s small lantern giving us a very particular focus. Seeing these 3 cards, I’m reminded that The Solstice is only 4 days away. The longest…
