Exactly. I would say this deck does what you want it to.

Shadow work is an important part of spiritual development. It's about looking into aspects of ourselves that are unconscious or scary. The Shadow Seer Tarot, by Maja D’Aoust, is a new deck of cards to help us do that.
I've blogged with a review.

Here's a list of events for pagans, witches & similar over the next weeks. I mainly include in-person things in or near London, because that's where I'm based, as well as online talks and workshops you can do anywhere & some bigger events further afield.

Here's a coot on a nest in Crystal Palace Park. I took the pic at the weekend, but I've also been watching bluetits, magpies and other birds getting reading to raise chicks. I've blogged about this season, and that this year we need to change the way we help birds.

In popular imagination, fairies are largely divided into 2 types: the nice Seelie court & the bad Unseelie. In a new book, The Fairy Courts, Morgan Daimler delves into the history of this concept and finds it isn't that clear-cut.

Ages ago I picked up a craft kit called Paint Your Own Mandala Stones. This week, with Easter coming up, I realised the techniques might not be much different from painting seasonal eggs so I thought I'd give rock art a go.
I've blogged with how to do it.

I did a spell at the Spring Equinox. It involved planting a seed and setting an intention. Sadly, the things I used didn't do what I wanted. My potting compost went mouldy and I had to throw the thing away. What does that mean?
I've blogged with my thoughts.

I took this photo of my damson tree in blossom with the first tiny green leaves starting to show. A few days ago it was full of white flowers, not a leaf to be seen. The tree in the background is still bare. I love this time of year, though it rushes on too fast.
