I’ve been on a film job for the past while, hence the lack of new tarot cards, but now I’m back and here’s the

7 of Swords
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel? in this case, no. if you don't get out of the way, you will meet with a nasty surprise.
This card serves as a warning.
Just as the deep sea angler fish uses a light to lure unsuspecting prey, this card warns you to be aware of deceit. That friend who you think is holding a light for you has darker…

Should I stay or should I go, ask the swallows, a bird that every winter migrates to warmer climes and is a question that you have been asking yourself too.

In an obscure corner of South Africa, not far from where I live, lives a very special and unusual community. Most of you will know of the Social weavers. A species of weaver bird that builds mansions of woven grass sometimes taking up entire trees that are home to hundreds of birds. What you may be less aware of is that these birdie blocks of flats aren't only home to the species that built them, but house three species that have created an unlikely relationship. Any structure needs constant…
