Before Halloween became about costumes, candy and plastic pumpkins, it was a night filled with mystery, bonfires and whispered beliefs about spirits walking among us.
The festival began over 2,000 years ago as Samhain (pronounced Sow-in), a Celtic celebration marking the end of harvest and the start of winter — “the darker half of the year.” People believed the boundary between the living and spirit worlds grew thin, allowing ancestors (and the odd mischievous ghost) to visit.
To protect themselves, villagers lit huge fires, wore disguises, and placed offerings outside their homes. Carved turnips (yes, turnips, not pumpkins!) were used as lanterns to scare away wandering souls — a tradition that later crossed the Atlantic and turned into the glowing jack-o’-lanterns we know today.
It was also a time for divination. Young people would peel apples to reveal the initials of future lovers, toss nuts into fires to test relationships, or use mirrors to glimpse what lay ahead. In short, Halloween has always been about seeking insight when the world turns darker and quieter.
So as October draws to a close and the nights stretch longer, it’s no wonder tarot readings feel especially powerful. After all, this is the season when intuition awakens, the veil thins, and the universe seems just a little more talkative.

Corporate wellness isn’t just about gym memberships and fruit bowls anymore. Forward-thinking companies are exploring unique ways to support employee wellbeing — including virtual tarot sessions.
How about offering your team intuitive mini-readings that fit seamlessly into wellness weeks, lunchtime drop-ins or team socials? Each reading offers a personal moment of reflection — often inspiring, sometimes surprising, and always confidential.
Employees love the chance to explore something mystical in a safe, supportive space. It gives them a moment to pause, check in with themselves and walk away with a fresh perspective. For employers, it’s a way to offer something truly different — without needing to coordinate physical logistics or large budgets.
Tarot encourages mindfulness, self-awareness and curiosity. It can help people to overcome stumbling blocks and focus on the direction that’s right for them. Whether someone is navigating a challenge or just feeling a little stuck, the cards often spark insights that conventional wellness offerings can’t reach.
If you’re planning an upcoming employee wellness initiative or just want to bring something novel to your team, virtual tarot could be the perfect fit. Book a block of sessions or a pop-in Zoom room — I’m flexible, discreet and always focused on delivering a grounded, engaging experience.

Comments Off on Virtual Tarot at Work: Wellness with a Twist
I’m being asked more and more frequently to support businesses’ growth and planning by asking the tarot for guidance. Many people look astounded when I mention this – especially if it’s at a networking event.
Tarot cards aren’t just for personal insight — they can definitely also offer valuable guidance for your business. Whether you’re a startup founder facing uncertainty or a seasoned entrepreneur navigating growth, tarot readings can provide fresh perspectives that help you move forward with confidence.
Each card in a tarot deck holds symbolic meaning that can reflect challenges, opportunities, or unseen influences. A well-structured tarot reading can help clarify decision-making, identify hidden obstacles, or spark new ideas.
For example, the Three of Pentacles might highlight the importance of collaboration, while The Fool could suggest it’s time to take a calculated risk.
Many business owners turn to tarot during strategic planning, brand development or even team restructuring. It’s not about predicting the future with certainty, but rather about uncovering themes, intentions and mindsets that may be shaping outcomes.
Tarot brings intuition into the often analytical world of business. By blending strategic thinking with intuitive insight, you can make more balanced, aligned decisions. A reading doesn’t replace research or logic, but it can enhance them, offering clarity where things feel stuck or unclear.
In short, tarot is a creative, empowering tool that can support business vision, alignment, and growth.
If you’d like more information about the ways in which tarot can help your business – or you, personally, please feel free to get in touch. You can book a reading via email or face-to-face across Zoom or WhatsApp.

Every year on July 17, World Day for International Justice is observed all around the world with the aim of promoting international criminal justice and supporting the work of the International Criminal Court.
The Aim of International Justice Day is to unite everyone who wants to support justice and promote victims’ rights. It is to help prevent serious crimes and those that put the peace, security and well-being of the world at risk.
Many people come to me for a Tarot reading because they feel they’ve suffered an injustice and want to know what the cards have to say about that. Sometimes the tarot shows an injustice has taken place that the querant (the person asking me) hasn’t acknowledged – or maybe isn’t even aware of it.
I’ve had an occasion where someone wanted me to help them manifest an injustice against an ex-partner – I don’t get involved with all that – what goes around comes around!!
World Day for International Justice is an important day and I don’t intend to trivialise it, but it seemed a shame to let it pass by without a mention of the Justice card.
This trump card represents legal matters and can indicate a court case, but it also highlights that there could be things needed to be learned. If this card shows up in your reading it can be reminding you that it’s about knowing the consequences of your actions, and getting what you deserve.
Want more information about the Justice card, or any other Tarot cards? I’m pleased to offer a range of spreads, including traditional Celtic Cross ten-card readings, at various price ranges, all via email or face-to-face across Zoom or WhatsApp.
And, if you’re planning a party — whether it’s an intimate get-together or a large-scale event, consider adding the excitement of Tarot readings. I’d love to chat with you, so to find out more, please email info@tarotbyemail.com.
I am the Weekend Witch, and I can’t wait to help you discover your story!
