Hello

Nice to meet you.

I’m Louise and this is where I share my creative work. Thanks for looking.

Tarot for the week ahead, 5.3.23

I don’t usually offer a four-card weekly reading, but this evening two more cards jumped as I pulled the second, so here we are: sometimes messages are eager to make themselves known. This week there’s a stirring of Spring to be felt. The rising of the sap, the growth of new things, a renewed sense…

Tarot for the week ahead, 26.2.23

This week offers some restorative, stabilising energy. We may find ourselves better able to tap into our inner strength and decisiveness after a time of stress and uncertainty. Best of all, the light at the end of the tunnel is shining in part from those we are closest to: we can hope to feel loved…

Tarot for the week ahead, 19.2.23

There is a part of us that prioritises logic, intellect and clarity: the ability to apply razor-sharp thought to cut through obstacles in our way.

Tarot for the week ahead, 22.1.23

When you are in the middle of a period where anxiety is high; where you may be trying to do too much, carry too much or soldier on in spite of the way you feel; try to make space to channel the Explorer of Pentacles. Take things slow and steady. Aim for consistency. Follow the…

Tarot for the week ahead, 16.1.23

Traditions, groups and institutions exist in no small part to connect us with each other and a wider sense of community, as well as drawing our focus to our greater place in the universe, however we may define it. What resources we choose to expend on them, however, and more fundamentally even what credence we…
