Psychological Mechanisms Underlying Tarot Consultation: A Critical Examination of Subjective Experience and Cognitive Bias. AI-Generated.
The question of whether tarot possesses a scientific basis requires disaggregation into two distinct inquiries: whether tarot constitutes a valid predictive instrument (for which no empirical evidence exists) and whether the practice engages documented psychological mechanisms that produce subjective value for participants. This analysis examines three such mechanisms — the Barnum effect, cold reading dynamics, and narrative therapy parallels — through the lens of existing peer-reviewed literature.

Top tipple tricks. Top Story - March 2026.
Been thinking a lot about drinking, lately. Not least because of a recent episode of over-indulgence and the inevitable after effects. Some readers may recall the earlier articles I wrote about beating the booze. Here I set out an experiment in techniques for cutting down on my alcohol intake. The experiment was successful, the techniques worked, and I have armed myself with an arsenal of weapons in the war against the demon drink. I have yet to fire the first round however. It's all a question of timing (perhaps procrastination).

International Women’s Day: the freedom not to be perfect
Today is International Women’s Day, and I’m writing this from the dining table while listening to Radio 3 Unwind. I’m sitting down with my laptop and a going-cold cup of tea, after Virginia Woolf’s famous essay A Room of One’s Own popped into my head. In it, she reflects that for a woman to write fiction, she needed two things: money and a room of her own (ideally with a door that closes). What she really meant, perhaps, was time to think and the freedom to exist inside her own mind.

Stop - Just Stop it right now
"Each one of us has lived through some devastation, some loneliness, some weather superstorm or spiritual superstorm; when we look at each other, we must say, I understand. I understand how you feel because I have been there myself. We must support each other and empathize with each other because each of us is more alike than we are unalike."
