Why I lowered my tarot prices again
☆THE DREAMER ☆ is a totally free newsletter and online space dedicated to exploring creativity, magic, the occult, neurodiversity, and mental health . If you enjoy THE DREAMER or know someone who will, share it with your friends and social networks! Thank you for reading and dream on.
Post-doing my TEDx talk (it's not online yet but I'll share it with you as soon as it's up!) I’ve been in contemplation mode, reflecting on the ways I can best be of service.
The truth is, despite having a pretty irreverent approach to the "rules" coaching, I’ve realised that in some ways, I’ve also spent the last two years replicating what I’ve seen 👀 Subconsciously, I realise I left complication and paradox behind in favour of sharing simple sound bites.
Because of my past media career (if you know, you know) part of my fullness accidentally got rolled under the wheels of default mode marketing-think. I know my clients and my community of creatives and neurodivergents (you) don’t expect or want that.
What I’m getting at is, I’m becoming more ~myself in my work. And no, I’m not sharing this because it’s leading up to a clean, enticing call to action (!) I’m sharing this because it’s a human experience that I know you can relate to, especially right now as I see people’s dissatisfaction with the fuckery of social media reach a critical mass 🌷
I want to be FREE from templates and just ~create. I want to develop ideas and art and healing and experiences that can’t be neatly categorised, but will speak to people’s hearts and minds. I want to get to the substance and the (vegan) meat of things.
And I want to bring my people into my world more intimately. Which is why if you’re on this mailing list, you’ll soon be on my free Substack mailing list! No change, just better content.
And I want to price *in* the people who crave my support the most. Which is why, after briefly flirting with raising my tarot reading prices, I’ve lowered them to a comfortable level again.
And I want to support my people more deeply. With more skill. Which is why I’ll be doing more post-graduate study next year.
And I want to create with integrity and in a way that honours my neuro-ill body and mind. Which is why I’m dreaming up new stuff in new ways.
Ultimately, I want to shake off the last piece of capitalistic Protestant work ethic bs disguised as business advice from my back and allow it to be not just a little imperfect or messy. But 100% imperfect and 100% messy. And 100% me. I'm not here to do business. I'm here to make art. I hope I can offer you some inspiration to do the same 🦋🌈🌀

Meanwhile, my new book was released in the UK today and is out everywhere else very soon! <3 It's called Rainbow Power: Mainfest your dream life with the creative magic of color and it's about colour magic, sure. But it's also about much more! It’s about bringing imagination, playfulness and creativity to your magical practice and to your life in general. It’s about becoming more aware of the energies that are already all around you, and making use of them in a way that serves you to live a happier, more imaginative, more fully-expressed life.
P.S. Preorders are a really big deal! The preorder figures on a soon-to-be-released book play a big part in whether independent bookshops will stock it. They also count towards week-one sales (which count towards best-seller lists and the like). So if you’ve already preordered Rainbow Power, thank you so much. My heart bursts into flames just thinking about it. And if you’re considering, there are online retailers in the above links for you.
The book was a huge passion project of mine, in that it merges the worlds of magic, creativity, and owning one’s expression in a too beige world. In it, I invite readers to create their own unique, intentional language of colour and abide by their lived experience above all else.
RAINBOW POWER is available in the UK now, AUS Nov 2nd, and the US Nov 22nd. ☆☆☆
