Black and white vintage illustration of Ostara as a flowing female figure moving through the spring sky with a flower-topped staff. She is surrounded by birds, blossom, winged infants, and beams of sunlight. A hare rests on the ground below, while people dance and gather in a pastoral landscape, suggesting renewal, fertility, and the arrival of spring.
Happy Ostara from Tarot Interviews! May your March glow with the radiance of dawn. The equinox is a lovely reminder that the year is turning again. In Beeston, the dandelions are popping up hither and yon to say hello.
Image by Johannes Gehrts (1884)

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!

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 ❤️

Theatre Deli Tarot deck box placed on patterned red fabric, beside the Strength tarot card. The card shows a stylised figure with an infinity symbol above their head gently holding a blue lion, rendered in bold contemporary illustration. The Theatre Deli Tarot is a 78 card artist led deck created by members of the Theatre Deli creative community, blending modern theatre culture with traditional tarot symbolism.
March is the month of Strength!
Fitting for St David’s Day - a time that reminds us that true strength comes from community.
The deck for March will be The Theatre Deli Tarot, a deck created by artists from @theatredeli.bsky.social

Meet the magic makers! I’ve gathered all the incredible artists, poets, musicians, and performers featured on Tarot Interviews and Tarot DMs over the last year all into one place.
If you need more fabulous folk in your feed, *this* is the pack to follow.

Rider-Waite tarot cards on a patterned cloth showing the Knight of Pentacles reversed beside the Justice card reversed. The image is used as symbolic commentary on the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, evoking themes of entitlement, delayed accountability, legal scrutiny, and the reversal of institutional authority in a contemporary UK news context.
Taking the time today to meditate on the meanings of these two particular cards.

Collage of six tarot card interpretations of The Lovers, showing diverse couples and expressions of love, including same-sex couples, intimate embraces, and romantic scenes. The cards vary in artistic style from minimalist line art to painterly illustrations, reflecting inclusivity, choice, connection, and intimacy. A Valentine’s Day themed image celebrating queer love, partnership, desire, and emotional bonds through contemporary and traditional tarot imagery.
Whoever you are, however you love and how many you love - wishing you a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Hand-carved Hungarian folk object, around 1900, carved from bone. Abstract sculptural form associated with Central European folk art, fertility symbolism, and vernacular carving traditions. Smooth patina from age and handling, photographed close-up to show carved ridges and organic shapes.
Completely out of the blue, I have been given a 100yr old Hungarian chicken foot-shaped folk object made from bone. A very normal Friday happening.

Still from Xena: Warrior Princess Season 3 Episode 12 “The Bitter Suite”, showing a theatrical tableau inspired by Rider-Waite tarot imagery. Xena stands centre-frame in a long pale gown and blue cloak, posed like a Major Arcana figure, with Gabrielle positioned behind her in bright, jester-like costume. The set resembles a dreamlike tarot stage with a winged sphinx statue, Egyptian-style figures, checkerboard flooring and symbolic props echoing The High Priestess, The Fool and other tarot archetypes. Vibrant colours, mythic costuming and overt tarot symbolism dominate the scene.
TIL that Xena (S03/E12) had a musical episode... based on Rider Waite Smith tarot imagery?
This I have to see.

My first Tarot DMs chat of 2026!
I caught up with Nottingham poet, playwright, and producer Bridie Squires for conversation about snowdrops, crows, Three of Cups reunions, creative ritual and lime marmalade.
Take a look at tarotdms.com

Snowdrops emerging through cold winter soil at Imbolc, symbolising early spring, implacable beauty, and quiet renewal. White snowdrop flowers photographed outdoors in natural light, associated with Imbolc, seasonal ritual, poetry, and reflective tarot practice.
Blessed Imbolc! Wordsworth called the snowdrop a timid thing, brave enough to rise while winter still lingers. Christina Rossetti wrote of it as hope made visible - pale, but stubbornly alive. Imbolc is the perfect day for appreciating joy without apology.

Tarot still life themed around Valentine’s Day and The Lovers card. The Lovers tarot card from the Queer Crow Death Magic Tarot sits in the foreground, showing two figures beneath a crow, with a pink and blue gradient sky. Beside it are two face-down tarot cards with eye designs. Behind the cards is a crystal ball on a gold stand, a small ornate gold egg-shaped container, a wooden chest, and the boxed Queer Crow Death Magic Tarot. The scene evokes love, connection, divination, queer tarot practice, and February Valentine symbolism
Good to be back after surgery and just in time to reveal February's theme for Tarot DMs:
💘 THE LOVERS 🏳️🌈
We’ll be using the Queer Crow Death Magic Tarot by @mxfrankduffy.bsky.social and I can't wait to find out what tea will be spilled by these marvellous cards!

Hi everyone, it's Finbarre. Still off my feet and wearing a cast, so I have decided to try something new: Tarot cross stitch! My kit has just this minute arrived from innocentbones.com so I'll paint the frame black and get started.
