Not being jetlagged at a conference (for once!), I arrived at Saturday’s events in good time, and settled down at a table close enough to the speakers to see what was going on – and far enough away to see what was going on. (Anyone over the age of 40 knows what I’m talking about!) […]
Having arrived in London three days prior to the conference – and cashed in a bucket of frequent flier miles to fly first class on British Airways so I could sleep the entire flight to London – I was actually rested and localized time-wise for this year’s UK Tarot Conference, organized by Kim Arnold of […]

Registration for the Readers Studio 2009 opened officially last Wednesday. If you haven’t been to one, I highly recommend the experience! Artemis, Andrew, Rose Red, and I all attended the Readers Studio this year, and it was amazing! The 2009 event will feature full length day time workshops with James Wanless, Rachel Pollack, and Geraldine […]
Elizabeth Hazel led off Sunday’s workshops with Tarot and Astrology. Even going at breakneck speed (I haven’t written that fast in a class since my Roman History seminar at university!), we weren’t able to cover everything before lunch. Elizabeth covered astrological associations with Tarot, focusing on the major arcana, and talked about incorporating knowledge of […]
After nine hours of sleep, I was feeling more or less human, and meandered down to breakfast. The hotel restaurant had set aside some tables for us, so we were able to eat in groups of eight, which was fun. Food, coffee, and good conversation perked me up considerably, so then back to the room […]
24 hours and 6,000+ miles after waking up on Thursday, I arrived at the Webbington Hotel for the Tarot Association of the British Isles (TABI) conference. Car, plane, train, another train, and a cab to the hotel, and I was there! (The taxi was driven by Mark, one of the nicest taxi drivers I’ve ever […]
The wake up call at 6:15 am Saturday didn’t register immediately as a signal that I was supposed to get out of bed. A few minutes later, the Darling Husband gently nudged me and asked if I was still planning to go to the Breakfast Roundtable with Robert M. Place – since “a few minutes” […]
While I had no clear recollection of the wake up call actually arriving, the Darling Husband assured me it had, “more than a few minutes ago”. Looking at the clock display of 7:15 confirmed he was correct. (Some day, I look forward to writing a post about a conference that does not include the words […]
I hate being rushed, and I really hate being late. So, there I was, having sorted out all the things which came up at the last minute, rushing down to the hotel lobby to register and find the classroom for RuthAnn and Wald Amberstone‘s Advanced Birth Cards class with only 15 minutes to spare. I […]
