I'm back doing readings!

After a long and nourishing break since closing Crooked Books, I am stepping back into my passion for tarot 🖤🌙

I am so excited to be able to offer readings for you all via DM or in person in Hebden Bridge at the gorgeous & .hermit.hebden 😍

My readings are friendly, conversational and empowering. I learn what's going on in your life and help you to make plans for moving forward.

Together we will explore your strengths, archetypes to embody and any blockages plus much more!

New Year is the perfect time to start planting the seeds of new ideas (gently, of course, as it's still winter)

My goal is to leave you feeling calm, confident and empowered 🙏🏽

If you'd like a reading please DM me to book, I have spaces available this week ✨

If you loved Crooked Books, you'll LOVE T'Cure 🖤🦇

We had the best meal ever, really wholesome, soulful and tasty grub and amazing mocktails (it's BYOB fyi!)

Lovely welcoming owners and just the most gorgeous vibes

Up the steps opposite The White Lion

We have lots of evil plans (collabs) cooking in the cauldron, so stay tuned for that and in the meantime, show them some love!!

Today I pulled the Four of Stones: Protection. This card is very poignant considering what is going on in the UK at the moment.

Everyone deserves protection, four secure walls around them and the means to survive and thrive.

People are coming to this country because back home they do not have the means to survive.

When they arrive here, they should be offered protection.
Instead, the 'hotels' they're put in are more like hovels, they receive paltry meals without adequate nutrition, £9 a week to live on which they often have to wait months to access.

This means they have to walk miles a day because they cant afford public transport.

And to top it off mobs of neo-n*zis stand outside telling them that they're taking too much.

This card reminds us of compassion, of basic human rights and decency and of our role in making sure our voices are heard louder than the far right mob.

Visit for more information, to read stories, to donate or to volunteer.

Blessed Samhain from my cosy boat 🧹🌙🎃 throw back to one of my first ever oil paintings, The Magic Circle, after Waterhouse. Some Calder Valley residents may notice the change to the background, the famous stoodley pike and monument felt like an appropriate setting for Samhain rituals.

Legend says that if an owl's screech is heard during childbirth, the child will grow up to be a witch 🧹

There are also many folk tales of witches shapeshifting into owls 🦉

I have always loved these beautiful birds and the wisdom they seem to exude

Here, an owl witch has returned to the newborn to impart her deep knowledge, a spectacular teacher

New Tarot Offerings!!

I have created a few exciting new readings that I can't wait to offer you 🙏

I've used these spreads myself and they've been so helpful during the past few months!

The first, Circe's Underworld Gateway is a Samhain special and will guide you on your first steps towards ancestor connection

The Hero's Journey is a whimsified version of my regular tarot spread and is a perfectly adaptable reading to help you with a whole range of challenges

The Dark Forest is deeply personal to me, and is designed to take a good look at why you're feeling stuck/ lost/ hopeless and help you find your way again

Finally, The Crossroads is a simple but effective spread for when you are weighing up two different options. It helps you get clear about the benefits and blockages of each decision and guides you towards action that is best suited to your goals.

I will never outright tell you what to do during a reading, as your sovereignty is so important, but I will be honest and direct about what the cards tell me, ask questions and leave you feeling empowered to take the next steps 🌙🖤

DM to book in for a reading via messenger or if you are interested in a video call reading (if there's enough interest I will set this up)

If you are local to Hebden Bridge and would like to meet at The Hermit, we can also do that :)

Readings £30 each

✨ Big Changes at The Crooked Nook ✨

After much soul-searching (and a few good cries), I’ve decided that The Crooked Nook will be closing its doors on August 29th.

This space has been full of magic, love, and community, and I’m so grateful to every one of you who’s supported it.

I've had an absolutely amazing three years, I've learned so much, met some of the most amazing people and grown as a person beyond recognition. With your help we've supported some fantastic causes and become a safe space for all 🖤

But, the time has come for me to practice what I preach and to honour my health, my needs and mine and my families future.

💫 I’m going to focus on tarot, one of my biggest passions,, which I will offer from the beautiful .hermit.hebden and online via WhatsApp and DM.

🎨 I’m also turning my focus toward art, writing, and meaningful magical projects, activism, and storytelling.

This isn’t an end, it’s a transformation. I’ll be sharing lots of new tarot, art, writing, and a little everyday magic here so stay tuned.

Thank you so, so much to everyone who has supported me in any way and to everyone who loves the shop. We will be having a sale, including all of our decorations and furniture which I know so many of you love, so, if there's something you'd like, you have a couple of weeks!

I am mourning, of course, but I know it's the right decision and I can't wait to see what we create next.

Join Carol J Forrester at The Crooked Nook on Saturday 16th August as part of the Forgotten Women Poetry Tour!

These voices are not new. They are simply tired of being spoken over.

Mary Jones has been forgotten from history, but we find her listed among those punished for speaking during meals at the Oswestry House of Industry.

Placida's legacy is the writing upon her gravestone, uncovered from Roman ruins in Shropshire.

Queen Amanirenas, Queen of Kush, fought the Roman Empire, led armies, lost an eye, a husband, and a son, yet is mysteriously absent from articles on the Meroë Head. A head she brought back to Meroë and buried beneath the temple in an act of defiance.

Stone Tongued holds the voices of a few who were forgotten, overlooked, or written out of history. Join us for a night of poetry and footnotes where we look at the women whose silences riddle our archives and history books.

The ticket price covers the purchase price of a signed copy of Stone Tongued to be collected at the event.
