We are pleased to announce two forthcoming Psycards events…

Alison Swales and Claire Roper are running a Psychic Development Retreat this October in the UK. Details of this event can be found on the Events Page.

Edward Murphy is running a course, also in the UK, date TBC, on Psycards. Three courses will be offered: basic, foundation and professional. Details can be downloaded here.

Psycards are running a one-day Mind, Body and Spirit festival in Camden Lock on Thursday June 2nd. We urge all of you who can to head on down to the lock on the day – entry is free, and a number of psychics will be there doing readings for people and giving talks: listen out especially for the 3pm talk on Psycards and Your Future.

Hope to see you there! Details below:

As a Psycard character, Beauty represents the imminence of romantic love. Her arrival in a spread is often desired as so many of us seek that which she embodies. But we all know that Beauty can be a bane as well as a blessing.  In the sumptuous surroundings of a fragrant courtyard we get better acquainted with this alluring lady in red.

Beauty, you stand for romantic love and sexual attraction. Which do you revere most?

I don’t think they are mutually exclusive. Throughout our lives we experience a wealth of relationships. Some are passionate and all consuming, others precious and ethereal. It’s not for me to judge which is the better or more desirable, but to remind people to be open to both.

We recently asked whether anyone in the Psycards community would be willing to share a story about how Psycards had helped them in their lives.

Mary very kindly responded with her tale of Psycards.  And we thought there was no more fitting way to wish you all well for Christmas than by sharing Mary’s story.  In her own words:

Hi I first came into contact with Psycards many moons ago when I went to see a Psychic regarding losing my lover at the time.  She continually told me that he would return and despite my lack of faith, he did actually return. However I bought my own pack of Psycards around 6 years ago once again because I had lost a second lover to another woman and wanted him back.  I had had so many readings with tarot card readers on phone lines and face to face it’s embarrassing to think about it now and they all told me that he would return to me and that everything was going to be OK.  Days passed, weeks passed, months passed and still I heard he was coming back.  It was then that I decided to buy a pack of Psycards and read them for myself.  The Psycards told me that he would not be coming back and needless to say I was upset at first and continued to read them for myself every time a reader told me that my lover would return.  Again and again the Psycards told me he was not coming back, then one day they told me that I would get married.  I couldn’t see how this could possibly happen but they have been proved to be correct after all this time and they also said an “old” lover would return to make this happen. Well the Tarot card readers were wrong and my Psycards were spot on.  My lover who I wanted orginally never returned from the woman he left me for.  They are by all accounts very happy together and for me?  Well an old lover did return and we got married this year on May 1st and to say I am happy is the understatement of the century.  The interesting little twist in this story is the fact that the first reader who introduced me to Psycards who I went to see (and now has unfortunately passed), told me that my lover would return and I would marry him.  She was spot on and I wish she was here for me to tell her, but the Psycards she used had got it absolutely right and I wouldn’t be without mine now. Hugs Mary x

We think all the below exhibit some or all of the Warriors characteristics.  Do you think we’re right?  Who else should we add to the list of Warriors past and present?

We live and breathe Psycards, so it’s no surprise that the ultimate fantasy interview would come in the form of a Q&A with one of our favourite characters. Enter the Warrior. With his 16^th Century haute couture armour, powerful sword, and – slightly dodgy – haircut, he cuts a formidable figure. We dragged him away from medieval battle to have a quick chat.

Keith Chan is the 37-year-old whizz who has brought the Psycards into the digital decade with a bang. His iPhone app is set to grow user ship, enabling Psycards fans to draw a spread, or card of the day, on the move.

Living in Hong Kong with his wife and three daughters, Chan is a sports enthusiast and has a full-time job as IT project manager, focusing on software development. A self-confessed techie, he wrote his first computer programme when he was a secondary school student.

Alison Cross is the 46-year-old chairman of TABI (Tarot Association of the British Isles), a not-profit association run by unpaid volunteers with an interest in Tarot. Established almost 10 years ago to provide Tarotists in the UK with a sense of unity, TABI now has an international membership base of over 500. The organisation proudly works to a Code of Ethics that has, on the whole, remained unchanged since the inception as well as providing all types of training. Cross is originally from Scotland and is a professional Tarotist herself, but had never come across the Psycards. We obviously had to remedy that, so put her in touch with one of our favourite readers.

Nicholas John Hobson is the charmingly clever man who brought us the Psycards in the 1980s.

Now aged 72 and living happily in Hampstead, London, he spent 30 years in the advertising industry as a copywriter and is currently marketing director of Malvern House, a language school.

A keen poet, grandfather, devourer of newspapers, obsessive people-watcher, golfer, cook, and bad bridge-player, we love him best as the inventor of ‘The Great Game of the Human Heart’.
