Oracles

The underlying message of all oracles: ‘We will now show you a little part of its divine intention, a part that pertains directly to you. Be assured that you are not alone. You belong to the Matrix that holds and beholds us all.’ So, if we have eyes to see and ears to hear, the message [...]

What can Tarot Card Meanings tell us about the UK Election result?

I sometimes ask the Tarot to predict the outcome of various situations. Putting myself on the line like this is an interesting challenge! So, earlier this week I drew a few cards to look at the results of the UK General Election (the voting for which ended nearly an hour ago). This evening I realised [...]

The Tarot and Quantum Physics

Mankind and Oracles Mankind has probably been using oracles of one sort or another for as long as we have been recognisably human. We’ve used bones, entrails, yarrow stalks, coins, water, stones, the stars, dreams, cards, tea-leaves, handwriting. The Delphic Oracle functioned for hundreds of years, with eminent kings consulting it regularly and even fighting [...]

Developing Your Own Tarot Reading Style

When first you start working with the tarot, your ‘reading style’ is probably not going to be uppermost in your mind.
