Art, Tarot and more

On this site, you can find everything from handmade Tarot decks to handwritten letters by Simone de Beauvoir... more

• The story of how, as a postgraduate student, I corresponded with the great writer Simone de Beauvoir, and was heartbreakingly close to meeting her: my appointment with her was on the very day in 1986 that she was taken ill with her final illness.


• All my artwork, arranged by year and theme: from Brexit to Bird People. All these paintings are available as prints and greetings cards.


• You can also buy products such as earrings and flip-flops decorated with my lovely designs.


• Beautiful complete Tarot decks, the “Fiery Wands Tarot” and the “Airy Wands Tarot”, each including 78 mysterious images, can be bought via the links on this site.


• “Jasmine's Unicorn”, a hilarious, exciting, magical children's story that I originally wrote for my daughter when she was eight, is now on sale on Amazon.


• I also amused myself by translating “Jasmine's Unicorn” into French, and my translation is available to download free.

Tarot decks shipping from USA

These 78-card, fully illustrated decks printed on demand by theGameCrafter.com are by far the best deal for US-based customers. The poker-size and mini decks are also a great deal for British and other EU-based customers, with shipping and insurance coming to about $11, and no import taxes — I can confirm that this is the case, as I have just bought myself a poker-size deck.

However, I have to warn EU-based customers that VAT and a massive administration charge are applied to products imported from outside the EU if they cost more than a fixed threshold, which in Britain is £15 — non-British EU residents would need to check the precise figure for their own country. When I bought myself a classic-size deck from the USA, I found to my horror that the cost was nearly doubled due to import taxes. So, if you live in the EU and you want a classic-size deck, try my shop on etsy.com instead.
