This week has been rather more hectic than expected so I’m jumping around and the roulette wheel lands on Surrealism in Berlin — specifically the exhibit at the Neue Nationalgalerie ‘Max Ernst to Dorothea Tanning: Networks of Surrealism’. Some helpful fellow (sorry, don’t think I got a name) came up at the end of my…

9 Women @ Nagas
In order to restore some order to life, the universe and this blog, I am backtracking to when it all became overwhelming which would be mid-October and yes — ha! — it’s getting on the last part of November, but maybe this week I can endeavour to catch up a little. I do mostly write…
Occulture
How to describe the phantasmagoria of experiences that was Occulture? It may take a couple posts. Long story short: I’m really glad I went. I was very happy with the responses to my talk and met lots of people who were excited to talk all things Leonora Carrington. And yes, the good news is my…
Leonora @ Katonah
I met Stephanie down the river at Katonah for a great day of rebel plan making and of course, Leonora Carrington. This was much the same exhibit as we saw at the Rose Museum, so it was like seeing old friends. And getting a better look in some cases. It was a more relaxing day…
L’Étoile
Now in the shop: L’Étoile! Do you see the Star? Egyptomania was rampant in occult circles of the 18th and 19th centuries. This Star Card is adapted from Les XXII Lames Hermètiques du Tarot Divinatoire (1896) by R. Falconnier, illustrated by M.O. Wegener, son of the Swedish-born French photographer, Otto Wegener. Now that the Tower…

Irreverent Tarot 12: Leonora’s Priestess
OCCULTURE, LEONORA & MORE Episode 12 – Contemplating Leonora Carrington’s High Priestess card as I work on my presentation for Occulture this October in Berlin. I am very excited about that, of course, especially as it gives me even more excuses to delve into my fascination with Carrington, her art, and her magic. So much…
Occulture 2025: me & Leonora!
I am delighted to announce that I will be part of the OCCULTURE CONFERENCE in Berlin this October! What an amazing line up to be part of! This is so exciting and I am really looking forward to having another opportunity to explore my obsession with Leonora Carrington amongst people who will be just as…
Irreverent #Tarot 9: Judith, Alice & Leonora
Episode Nine: how my mind flits from one thing to another down rabbit holes and here’s to the powers of miscommunication (and yet we made much of it, didn’t we, Stephanie!), Alice and Lewis — and Leonora — and Tenniel, but not the captain. Or the usual chaos from me. Oh, and Artemesia Gentilesci! And…
Irreverent #Tarot 8: The Fool
Episode 8: Mostly the Fool card. Some quick thoughts with a few different examples and why it seems to permeate life at present. The Fool steps into the abyss: foolish or hopeful? Is the Fool deranged or just using that as a disguise? The Jester v The Vagabond–or are they all just disguises? Almost everybody…
