Tarot Reader

It is Summerween and I'm already in a spooky mood, preparing myself ready mentally for Halloweenso let me blog again about an old horror trope. I took this in Brighton, on the Brighton Palace Pier to be precise. I think it's the very first Tarot consultant business I have ever seen. And in a cart, like in old horror movies. Now for the record, I do not believe in Tarot reading, or any supernatural in general. That said, I often read and watched horror stories when Tarot reading is involved in some capacity. And in fiction, it's always accurate, and more to the point, it's predictions are always catastrophic and sinister. So I associate Tarot reading with gloom and doom. It was a hot and sunny day when I saw this, yet seeing this I shivered.

David's Tea's Halloween collection

For today's countdown to Halloween, I have decided to blog about teas. I was getting a bit desperate these last few weeks: David's Tea had not showed up any new collection for my favourite holiday. And then on the 30th of September, they announced on their Facebook page (and I guess other social media) that they had finally released their Halloween collection. This year's theme is allabout  sorcery, divination, supernatural and well, witchcraf. From the look I had at their accessories, it was a good call, far more inspired than last year. It looks much better in any case, and suitably eerie. Sadly, I am not in a country where their products are sold, but hey, at least it's a good Halloween collection this year.
