I’d not been to the National in some time and it was hot and I was tired from running around London already that day so after a nice lunch (peh!) in the crypt at St Martin’s I crossed the road to see some old favourites. Title many of you will know was taken from this…

Abstract Erotic
Random bits first: the mosaic tunnel, which I learned about on IG; Gatsby is a musical now because everything seems to be turned into a musical with unmemorable music I dunno maybe it’s good but I doubt it. And Oscar: impossible to just get Oscar; there were even more people when I passed by him…
Christie’s Mysteries
I had a little fun exploring some lovely books I haven’t a hope in hell of ever getting thanks to the auction at Christie’s. Hopefully some of these will end up where the public can admire them and not just insufferable rich misers. Radix malorum est cupiditas, as we all know. Pretty books. And another…
Witches, Devils & Theatre of Cruelty
I was talking with Chloë about keeping track of reading, which I do badly, my memory palace not being what it used to be when life was more regularly paced. I bought this novel by Jane Parkhurst (Nancy Smith?) back when I was first diving into Isobel Gowdie a few years ago, but this one…
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…
Vanessa German @ Kasmin
I have much to share from yesterday’s brief jaunt to the city but from the last trip I have not yet shared these amazing images from the Kasmin Gallery where the Vanessa German show ends TODAY. For this last day the artist will be there to commune with the works and with whoever comes so…
Tarot at the Warburg
Can’t get to the Warburg Institute for the amazing Tarot: Origins & Afterlives exhibit? Or you went and you want to relive the fun? I can help: I made a video of some photos so you can at least get a feel for it. Expect the usual caveats about photos of things in cases (odd…
Medieval Women @ BL
I managed to plan my short jaunt to the south so well that I had time to catch Oracles, Omens, and Answers in Oxford, head down to London, check into my hotel, and then pop over to the British Library to see Medieval Women in Their Own Words. I didn’t take nearly as many photos…
Oracles, Omens & Answers
Take a journey with me through time and space — no, not that one! — but to the city of aquatint last month. I made a quick jaunt to London for the tarot exhibit I decided I could not miss and a few other things (more to come…) and because I flew into Luton I…
