“Man plans, the Gods laugh” (“Mann Tracht, Un Gott Lacht”) is an old Yiddish adage that describes my New Year marvellously. I spent the winter holidays eating home-made mince, designing Tarot games, mapping out the Beeston Tarot Trail, and tracking down the local history of the Golden Dawn leader Robert Felkin. I even discovered a sinister and spooky secret in my own family tree!

I was ready to celebrate (even pulled out the Three of Cups to represent my year ahead), but… a slip on black ice outside my house gave me a royally dislocated ankle and has put me on a temporary pause for surgery.

Once I’m out of hospital and hopping about on a hand-free crutch looking like some kind of space pirate, I’ll be back with not only more guests but events planned too. Check back here or the Tarot Interviews Bluesky account if you’d like to come along.

So. Welcome to the new-look Tarot Interviews website! I hope you’re all having a lovely start to 2026, it’s going to be fab.
