Its negative associations can be seen as far back as Babylonia and ancient China, when an extra 13th month had to be added every [...]

One of the best (at least in my view!) was produced by a friend of mine and offers different spreads from a selection of tarot and oracle decks.

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 wars [...]

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.

The Intuitive Tarot

Having painted The Intuitive Tarot between 1973 and 1981 it is, naturally enough, my favourite. I always use it for readings except at medieval fayres, where I use Kat Black’s Golden Tarot. The IT is a deck for the discerning – it doesn’t appeal to everyone, nor would I want it to. I use it [...]

Virtual Tarot

According to one site on the web, ‘virtual tarot’ is a gag. But tarot has the strange habit of surprising us, and on one site, the comment
‘the virtual tarot thing is just a gag, what you do is put a . (period) in the petition and write the answer, then actually ask it and it [...]
