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

on the left, a pink tarot card of nine sticks forming a trellis with a rose growing up it - the 9 of Wands, and on the right, an embroidery copying the design but in more realistic colours - the rose is red, the leaves green and the sticks golden coloured

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.

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.

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 β€œThe 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.

Chat #21 - Bridie Squires "There’s a spectrum of intimacy"

My first Tarot DMs chat of 2026!

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:

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.

Finbarre has added the former site of the birthplace of Robert William Felkin (1853–1926) to Google Maps as a historical landmark!
Felkin later became a significant figure in Golden Dawn history. The original house in Beeston no longer survives, sadly.
