Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there!
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away!

That poem always makes me smile. It takes me back 30 years. I was a craftsman gardener, in a relationship with a witch (seriously, but that's another story). I was at work. Bev was at home. Unfortunately it was the depths of winter and minus something silly. The cold ate into your soul. My team were on a Godforsaken hillside, cutting a hawthorn hedge. It was torture. I said to my colleagues, '2pm. Another 2 hours to go. I wish to God I was home. I hate this job.' So, we finished out task and I rode home on my motorcycle. As soon as I walked in, Bev said, 'Did you come home today?' I laughed and said 'No, but I wanted to.' Bev gave me one of her smiles and said, You did come home, you know. She explained. Apparently Bev was upstairs tidying our bedroom. She said she didn't hear my motorcycle (which was usual) but she heard the front door open, and heard me walk up the stairs. I put my head around the bedroom door, smiled at her then walked into the bathroom (adjacent to our bedroom door) Bev waited a little while, but I didn't come out. When she came to look, no one was there. I was gone. It was 2pm. If Bev said it happened, it happened.The Germans have a word for this. It's Doppelganger. It means An apparition or double of a living person. I believe I so wanted to be home that day at 2pm, part of me actually did go home, and was seen there. Strange but true. It's a funny old world...

Strange but true. I recently bought 3 Ouija boards in a closing down sale. Was my intention to try one of them out at home? Not On Your Life…. No chance. I’ve encountered Ouija several times in my life, and I always find them trouble. Yes, I’ve seen them work well, but I wouldn’t have a working Ouija board under my roof, ever. (they dwell in my garage)
It’s not what they do. It’s what they can do without you realising it. Lets get the instructions out. OK, this is a tool, a conduit to talk to spirits, the dead, those on another plain of existence. Sounds interesting. Why not? Right. Time out. Who do you expect to contact with a Ouija board? Your grandmother? A once cherished partner or lover? General George Custer? On a good day, your wish might come true. But ask yourself this? Is it really one of the previous 3 that’s made contact? Or is it a devious spirit that’s pretending to be someone they are not? You might be taken in by The Imp of the Perverse for all you know. Who’s to say whatever/whoever gets through is telling the truth?
Lower spirits are always around and will say anything to gain your confidence. And there’s the sting. You really don’t want such entities in your living room. What starts as a bit of fun can spiral down and play games with your mind. Thanks but no thanks. I’ll watch a football match with a glass of wine if that’s OK? Yes, I will use a Ouija board at someone’s house, but it comes away with me when I leave, so that the client won’t overdose on it.
From ghosties and ghoulies and long-legged Beasties, and things that go bump in the night. Good Lord deliver us. Amen. (an old Cornish prayer.) I can cope with all those. I treat a Ouija board with much more caution.

I'm getting a lot more interest in my humble Tarot site recently, and so, I'm offering 2 Free Tarot readings to the first 2 people who contact me. All I need from you is your full name, your date of birth and maybe a couple of direct questions you may have for the Tarot. If your one of the lucky 2, congratulations. I'm sorry I haven't the time to reply to those who missed out, but I will repeat this offer over the next few months. I will need your email address to send you your reading.

Tarot Dilemma’s.
Some times it feels you can’t do right for doing wrong. No names, no pack drill. I recently did a face to face reading for a young girl, maybe 19/20. She has been seeing a married man, almost double her age. She wanted to know if this illicit relationship would end in her marrying the man. Mm. Well I had my doubts even before we asked the Tarot cards. I’m a fair bit older than the girl in question. I’ve seen more of life. My gut instinct was, ‘Don’t hold your breath.’ Young love. We’ve all been there. How it beguiles, how it puts the heart before the head. Still, what do I know. Let’s ask the Tarot? I don’t mind being wrong. Lets see……. And sure enough, my instincts were correct. What was everything to the girl, was nothing more than a dalliance to the older man. He’d done this before and he will do it again. And the Tarot went on to say his wife knew about the affair! The wife was nobodies fool. But she knew her husband would always stay with her. He would always come back to the fold. So what did I say? Dilemma’s. Welcome to my world. In the end I said, Look, as long as your happy, fine. If things change, don’t try to paper over the cracks. Move on.
Bless. The girl was happy with this. From her perspective, all was good and maybe it would get better. I wish her well, but I hope at some stage, she remembers what the Tarot said.
Life always has it’s lessons to learn…

No names, no pack drill. All I can say is that the reading I share is word for word true.
I did a one-to-one reading a while ago. Face to face. Not my home, but the girls home.
I gratefully accepted the cup of tea offered, had a sip and settled down and got to work. I was given a question immediately. In fact the girl, let’s call her Susan (It was Katherine, shush, keep it under your hat) the girl could barely wait to ask the question. Susan said, “OK, I’m having an affair. It’s with a married man, and we are in love. I want to know if this man will leave his wife and marry me?”
I’m not charging enough. Such questions unsettle me. Me, ex choir boy, one of life’s innocents, pure as the driven snow (some say slush) kind of….
What to do? I always feel like Pontius Pilate at times like this (but he never returns my letters) kidding. I’m not kidding however that a question such as this perturbs me. And why wouldn’t it? You can’t win. It’s a Catch 22 question. If the cards don’t see a future here, and I tell the girl, chances are she will sulk and I won’t get a second cup of tea. If I do see her wish come true, the girl will try even harder to make her dream come true, and someone will get hurt. And I was instrumental in that. Bu**er.
What to do? What I always do. Blame the Tarot. “It wasn’t me your Honour. Twas the cards. Stay your hand your Honour. Please don’t say, Send him down. 2 years in custody. Put him in cell 13, Strangeways, Manchester, with that large coloured gentleman who will use him as his bitch ! I do worry.
I prevaricate. What did the Tarot say? It said, Yes, the unfaithful married man would leave his wife for the girl. Now between you and me, the Tarot didn’t say marry. Nowhere could I see marry. So, what happened? The girl was euphoric. I got my second cup of tea and even a chocolate biscuit (my favourite) All was good in the world. She paid me and I even got a tip, “Don’t eat yellow snow.’ All was good in the world. But on the way home, some foreboding crept in. I felt all would not end well for the girl. The notion, the implication forming in my mind told me that yes, the man would leave his wife, but the novelty of this new relationship would wear off within a year and the relationship would end on a sour note. And no marriage was ever on the cards. All very sad, but as they say, If you play with fire…. You know the rest…

If Mirrors could Talk.
In our French house, in the main bedroom is a piece of furniture that the previous owners left behind. The house was built in 1850 and by the look of it, this piece of furniture is period related. It’s a large dressing table with mirror. The wood is either mahogany or walnut. My money is on mahogany as mahogany has a closer grain pattern. It’s a lovely piece of furniture and most of all, I’m mesmerised by the matching mirror that tops the dressing table. You can tell it’s an old piece because the mirror is wonky. By wonky, I mean not right. It’s like something from a hall of mirrors. Due to the mirrors age, lets say it’s imperfect. It distorts your image somewhat, but do you know, I love it. It’s wonderful. No two mornings are the same. One morning you might have one eye bigger than the other. Another morning, one of your ears is missing. No way is this a boring Ikea mirror. No way on God’s earth would I have a cut-throat razor shave in front of it ! I think it was born in a nest of vipers, and somehow rescued and put to work in this old French house.
But I digress. I preamble. In it’s wonky 175-year life, what must this mirror have seen? What must it have reflected on? (there’s a play on words if ever there was one…) If mirrors could talk, what would it tell? It’s seen generations come and go, be born and die. It’s seen The Belle Epoque (1871 to 1914) The beautiful age. (look it up) It’s presided over Two World Wars. It’s seen invasion during the First World War, and Vichy France and capitulation during the Second World War. It’s seen the birth of aviation and the silent movies come and go. And between you and me, it’s seen so much more. This mirror has seen life. It’s witnessed human life in all it’s guises. Happy, sad, moody, mad. No emotion has escaped it’s reflective face, for decades. Have you heard of the Stone Tape Theory? It’s this,
That heightened emotional events can be taken up, recorded on the very surroundings. If that’s so, why then, can’t mirrors also be a playback mechanism? Why can’t mirrors give up their secrets too? Just be careful what you do in front of your bedroom mirrors tonight. One day in the future, that very mirror might just tell all….
P.S. For now, I’m keeping my Batman costume firmly in the wardrobe…
