Illustration for Fool’s Journey

Last September Jane asked me to draw a tarot card to accompany one of her wonderful poems for a book full of poetry and Tarot cards. I felt quite honored.

The card was the Wheel Of Fortune and the poem one, I had previously translated for her for an event.

About Fool’s Journey

“Fool’s Journey is a collection of 22 poems based on the Major Arcana of tarot, with 22 hand-designed cards based partly on my poem and partly on the corresponding Rider-Waite-Smith design.

The artists are from all different kinds of practices – tattoo artists, zine makers, ceramicists, costume designers, printmakers, musicians, directors, board game designers, writers, and a few professional illustrators too. Most are women and many are queer. The work they have created is full of glorious things and grotesque things, delicious oozing bodies, wolves and sunbeams and skeletons and UFOs.

As for me, I’m a weird, queer, witchy poet who likes to write about making out, made-up science, teeth marks and spells. These poems were mainly written at Can Serrat residency in the Montserrat mountain range. My work has been anthologised in the Best British Poetry, commissioned for BBC Radio, and translated into Polish, Croatian and Japanese. I’m also the author of Quick, to the Hothouse (dancing girl press) and Mashnotes (pitymilk press).” – Jane Flett, Publisher

“So Fool’s Journey is a reminder to myself. I might be the Fool, but I’m also heading in some other direction. It might be hard, but I don’t need to be. There’s another card tomorrow. And the next day. And all of them are looking great.” – Jane Flett on Little Red Tarot

Get Your Personal Wheel of Colours

The Wheel of Colours is a traditional tool that can help us to understand what we need in certain situations.

We are all made up out of the same stuff, but everything is arranged uniquely in each person – which leads to us all needing different things in different moments.

If you’d like to find out what YOU need to start a project, to work with other people, to successfully finish something, to heal, to spark your creativity or what your unique gift is that you bring to the world, then the Wheel of Colours will help you to see this and yourself in a new and very practical way.

It will also show you how you can listen to your inner truth and that of others, what your most important lesson is and also what your most difficult challenge will be, that once you overcome it will bring you to the completion of your wheel – and allow you to start again in a smoother, more enlightened and balanced way.

Are you a creatrix?

Have you ever felt like you don’t quite belong? That you’re somewhat different from the rest of the people around you?

That there’s a yearning deep down, a knowing, that you are capable of more? That while you know you are talented and can achieve a lot, something is somehow still missing?

Then you are a creatrix. And it’s time to start living it.

I, too, felt this way as long as I can remember
And I didn’t know what I was missing.

I had friends, a partner, a rewarding job. I was an artist, an activist and created real change.

Yet, I also felt lonely, uncertain, sometimes hopeless and often stressed.

No matter what or how much I did, it never felt completely right or like I had arrived.

Something was always missing.
