Friday the 13th seems like the right day to hint at something new. As part of my new work with the British Tarot Archive, I’m developing the Exiles Collection - an archive of tarot decks with rum histories and uncanny reputations. More later this year! #tarot #archive #occult

At last - I’ve finished the final proposal to recognise Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) tarot reading in the UK as living cultural heritage. I’m humbled and heartened by how many readers and artists across the UK stepped forward to share their stories. Thank you all ❤️ #tarot #history #folklore

The dark events around the Duke of Buckingham’s marriage preserved the Manners legacy for my own ancestors. I feel it is vital that the persecution of Joan, Margaret & Philippa Flower be remembered today. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witches... #history #folklore #belvoir #witchsky

​The Flowers of Bottesford Day (March 11th), commemorates the 1618 Belvoir witch trials where the Flower family were condemned for "practising sorcerie" against the Manners heirs. ​After these executions, the Duke of Buckingham married Katherine Manners. A line that leads to King Charles III.

Something fabulous happened today - I stood up (very gently) on both feet! Considering my ankle was like a dismantled clock at the beginning of the year, this is brilliant. Soon I’m going to be dancing EVERYWHERE.

Still slightly amazed I got to sit down with Joanne Harris for Tarot DMs. From tarot and perfume to authors’ rights and the return of Vianne, it was one of those conversations that could have gone on all afternoon. #tarot #booksky #joanneharris

As a bonus, here are some more uses for pneumatic tubes, including, moving corpses, transport cats, and helping salmon. pneumaticpost.blogspot.com/2014/07/10-o...

Back at it again in the mines

I haven't carved a mugwort leaf since the Moon card of my tarot deck & I'd forgotten how satisfying they are. Kind of want to do a huge 30cm square version of this, super detailed #printmaking #art #witchsky

Due to the sudden closure of the small press publishing our anthology, we're looking for a new home! "Silk and Foxglove" is a BIPOC anthology of 13 stories of erotic-eco-horror! It's weird, gorgeous, evocative, & unnerving as hell! Please boost! If any small presses are interested, let me know!

Ulysses 31! If you missed it, think Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees, with a laser sword. On a disco odyssey.
