Tarot
I'm a leading commentator on the global tarot industry and modern divination culture. I am available for podcast appearances, features and comment on tarot culture, modern divination and creative uses for the cards. I can speak on topics like:
- The best tarot decks for beginners
- How tarot became part of contemporary culture
- Tarot, music and creative playlists
- The Rider-Waite-Smith deck and its cultural influence
- Tarot as a tool
Research and publications
- Author of Piercing the PR Shield: Aleatory Intervention as a Method for Disrupting Narrative Control in Qualitative Interviewing, a 2026 working paper on chance-based prompts, narrative control and qualitative interviewing
- Author of The Beeston Genesis: Robert William Felkin and the Codification of Modern Tarot Systems, a 2026 research preprint connecting Beeston, Robert William Felkin, British tarot history and modern tarot systems
- Contributor to public documentation on Rider-Waite-Smith tarot reading practice as living heritage in the United Kingdom
- While researching early tarot in Britain, I tracked down the birthplace of Robert William Felkin and documented it for inclusion in public geographic records
I have been working with tarot for over three decades. This portrait shows me using divination cards in the late 1990s and reflects a long relationship that still shapes how I work today.
