 Mine certainly was... Like many a white woman before and since me, I thought it was cool to parade through a bunch of indigenous religions and take what I liked...To transfuse their sacred practices into my perspective...To tokenise and treat the difference as quirky, novelty, something for my spirited entertainment and fodder for my first published book... And of course I didn't mean harm... But. But. But. That was my privilege, to do what I liked and mean well... Which is not good enough. Not at all. So last year I spoke to my publisher and took my first book #thehighheeledguidetoenlightenment out of print because it was just too full of my harmful borrowings. And now I aim to do better. Every day. To find my own spirituality without trampling over another's or expecting it to serve me in ways that are not mine to take. My work since that book has focused on how we all have spirituality within us, and how it is best explored from the events and emotions and instincts of our own experience. It is a hard trip to dismantle our white privilege and to overcome our internalised racism gifted from a culture that hasn't walked its talk yet. But if a spiritual life is anything, it is finding ways to get higher, to connect without harm, and to raise others up when we find them harmed or in need of the power that we have. if you want to work with me, to find your way into your own, unique and personally evoked spiritual practice, please explore my site, check out my books and work with me here...

DOREEN VIRTUE AND HER A - Z OF HATEHave you seen Doreen Virtue's epic list of all that is bad in the world of the New Age? When I first read it I was mildly miffed, and then, more amused. This 'oh please lady' turned to empathy as I pondered how hard and painful it must have been for her to turn against her own body of work and faiths. Then I forgot all about it, until, prompted by a FB challenge from the lovely George Lizos, my apathy turned to anger as I realised that to denounce a whole host of practices, done by a large number of perfectly good people, who are doing no harm, and simply seeking to find meaning in their lives, is tantamount to hate speech.
Not just hate speech but hate speech that dehumanises the people she critiques by suggesting they are lead by demons. The suggestion being therefore that they are lesser, bad, evil even. Ya' know, because they watch Harry Potter, collect crystals and allowed a self help guru to inspire their lives... I don't care about what Doreen's particular faith is. I'm sure it has always been this intolerant. What I care about is her jumping on that bandwagon and using her very public and powerful position to laud fear in the name of 'love'. Because this is where shit starts to go bad. It is by finding demons in others that we start to create divisions, that we make them other, wrong and to be feared. We know where this leads don't we? This kind of grotesque judgment of others, based on what? Her faith, her God, her holy book? Leads to anger, divides, wars, violence, abuse, gas chambers in the name of... There is a dire lack of perspective in her new stance, a blinkering to what is really good and bad, a closed circle that see's only it's own perfectionism and the damnation of all else. So no I can't sit back with "love and light" and say, 'each to their own', because she is not affording a whole planet of people that same right. Cos it's not just the hippies she is coming for. It's everyone who is not a fundamentalist like her, it's not just the culturally appropriated beliefs that new agers tend to take, but the faiths that lay behind them, hindu, buddhists, 'eastern mysticism', shamanic faiths, whomever and whatever. (I fear the New Age is a soft target, and I dread to think what she will come out with next, for this route, leads to stronger routes of intolerance as she is buoyed up by fans... I'm guessing Homophobia, Islamophobia, Transphobia as dictated by her God) According to Virtue, all faiths, other than hers are demons waiting to pounce. If it's not her precise way of seeing, it's demonic and it's not coming in. Her A-Z, amusing as it might may be, is dictatorial and dangerous. She will be wearing a MAGA hat next and doing Hitler salutes. Strong words I know, but better than saying she is cursed by demons at every damn move she makes, which is basically what she accuses everyone else of. I've seen hate. My mum was Gay in the 1980's and my Dad was a priest who became a Wiccan. I've personally been privy, and subject to fear and torment based on those two differences. I've witnessed worse too, I've studied the pain caused by 'isms' at university for a depressing three years. I've sat silent and been tolerant of it as people in power make jokes and make it 'normal'. And from all this experience, all of the hate, so epically, tragically infused into our humanity, it starts from fear. And that fear comes from powerful, well positioned people who speak about divides and demons and difference. If you want to use your faith to rail against something, how about crime, war, prejudice or sexual abuse? Because getting your knickers in a twist, publicly, with power, about Star Wars, or Feng Shui, Aliens or Unicorns, or a bit of burned sage, because it is 'of the devil', is an odd way to go. Denouncing things that make people feel better, and as if they have some control, as being based in evil, is a heck of a strong road to take. Whilst in many respects, it is absurd and ridiculous, it is hate, made real. People will suffer as a result of this, as their choices and preferences are called out as dangerous by ordinance of Queen Doreen. This A-Z is I hope, where many people will take their 'demons' and flounce off empowered. For there is no other reaction to this. It is pain and fear made manifest. We don't need it. We can be better and rise above this low level, critical, judgemental, fear inducing drama. I'll take my chances with my 'demons' because I've seen real life devils and they don't look anything like what she is lauding. Doreen is now priestess of propaganda, and hate mongering in my book. Nothing more, nothing less. Alice's latest book Dirty and Divine for more fierce real life spiritual talk...  I am undertaking a journey through the cards in my private facebook group and today's card was the 2 of wands, image from my deck Cosmic Mother Tarot (buy yours here). And it gave me pause for thought. As much as I LOVE the tarot, sometimes, it is wisest, to just put them down...
I love this card because it shows the struggle of feeling that we need to know the future before we can attempt to create it. The little person is looking to this vast unknown and alien looking possibility in front of her. She has her crystal ball beside her. She is ready to move. And yet she hasn't yet... What is she waiting for? And the thing with tarot (and any other divination practice) is, they are a bit of a crutch sometimes. Apart from my readings for other people I'm not really using my tarot at the moment. CONFESSION: I've kinda gone off my tarot for the time being... Because it can get too much. We can get frozen, looking for answers in the cards and not really assessing the situation from our hearts. We can become afraid of the mystery. Even as at the same time we are straddling the magical mystery of the cards... We can become stuck in a fear of the unknown, awaiting the perfect card, or transit of venus or the right vibes as designated by our online yoga guru... Last year the cards saw me through the darkness of hubby having his heart attack and all the drama and crazy that unfolded. They saw me well, truly they were wonderful. But then I became a little dependent on them, and I didn't always like the answers they gave. And I realised that I needed to put them down for a bit and just live, free from prediction and the restrictions that this can cause... Have you found the cards or any other technique (horoscopes, psychics etc) to be an unhealthy crutch? Or have you become frozen due to the need to 'know' something before you do it? The thing is, we can never really know - not even with the best tarot reading in the world. And if we did know, we might stop before we even start. Which means we are blocking all kinds of experiences that we did not foresee... So let's put our fears and our cards down today, and just go ahead into that big scary yonder... Please share in the comments any thoughts you have, any times you have been frozen or overly dependent on tarot /psychics / horoscopes etc... The Hierophant
The direction of your life is beyond you. Higher forces are plotting and pulling you in some truly intriguing directions. Let them. This can be a hard message to take because Free Will is a feisty little minx. How often have you railed against the flow, but perhaps not ended up where you intended? how often have you ignored intuition and chosen something else, to be frustrated or disappointed? Free Will is a wonderful; thing, but sometimes it becomes a burden, presuming you have to fix and plot everything. The good news is that you don't... There is a bigger picture at play if you allow for it... 2019 has big plans for you and this sometimes means trusting the paths, opportunities, and even the boredom that ensues. There is always something happening in the thick mists of unknowing. You don't need to 'know; the plan for it to work for you. This week you are being asked to hand it over to your highest self, step back and trust that life will, in time, do something wonderfully new and different. You arrant winning by thinking the situation into anything. So you have permission to step off, sit back, let the world carry you for a bit. It may just lead to bigger understandings and happenings than you could ever have envisioned. Love Alice x Book your 2019 Report Reading Now...

And the readings are currently on sale too! Book now before I close up for the Christmas period. I am so excited to speak with you! BOOK YOUR CALL NOW It's December, and I am really pleased to introduce my free monthly readings, alongside the usual weekly ones. So let's see what December 2018 has in store... December 2018 - The Devil and The Ace of Cups What a year, what a year... And it's not over yet. December is a month of consolidation. Where all that you have learned and lived through is bedded in. The card, The Devil, is a stark warning against overwhelm, temptation and addiction. And of course it's the season to be jolly. But what is jolly? Is it a big old drunken mess? Is it overindulgence in spite of knowing better? Is jolly, really still jolly when it wakes up next to your married boss? Okay those are some extreme examples... But The Devil is giving us a heads up to remind us of our weaknesses, so that we may stay well alert for them, without being blinded by the sparkling lights and beautiful temptations. If you want to make the most of all 2018 has taught you, self control, and awareness are called for. Don't follow the herd to oblivion... On the other side of this, and to balance things out, we have the Ace of Cups. Which suggests that if we stay in our personal awareness, we are going to be offered a new beginning. If we overcome the inner darkness, we get sparkly new loveliness. I'm not talking about gifts under a tree, but self love, transformation and all kinds of inner fulfilment. So allow your burrterfly to expand, and as she does so, trust the new and intriguing places and thoughts that arise. By putting our devil firmly in the past, we get fresh green roots. Let your roots feel their way... The week ahead - Mon 3rd Dec... The Chariot Start the week, the month off, by seeing how far you have come. The past year has tested the life out of you. It has not been easy. But you made it through, and your heart is bigger as a result. Which means that maybe you feel extra emotional or sensitive, this is not a failure, this is feeling. And you need that feeling right now so that you might grow bigger and better. Let this week see all the tears flow, and as they do, the worry will subside. You are guided, you are loved, and you have entirely survived the difficulties. Take stock, say a prayer of thanks, move forward with your heart on your sleeve. If you enjoy these, please do share on your social media! I have now released my 2019 year ahead readings - book now to get yours and plan your very personal year ahead! 2019 here we come!

So I hadn't thought about having a Black Friday Sale, because honestly, sick kids and one woman show. But this morning I had a moment to feel out how I felt about it. And this is it. It saves money. Which is a gift. It saved me a huge heap of money on my husband's Christmas present this year, and that made me do a little happy dance. So if being more affordable, even if only for a day or two, is a thing, it is a good thing. I'm not so far ahead in my spiritual goals that I need to renounce all material things and live in a nunnery, and neither are you, so here are some material things, in the spirit of commercialism, at their best, cheaper! Visit my shop... And of course, I'm an independent solo act, so to stay relevant, and to keep my lovely loyal clients loyal, the least I can do is offer up a thank you.

PRIVATE FACEBOOK PAGE FOR DIRTY AND DIVINE JOURNEY  The Hierophant... Good tarot guidance gives us what we already deep down know... Which is testament to our inner wisdom. However, we are surrounded by a knowing culture and society that has much to offer. Yes we may dismiss the corporations and institutions as having their own agenda, or not reflecting our core beliefs. And yet, they are part of our cultural experience, therefore they are part of us. When we reject their wisdom, we may be turning our backs on an innate and important part of ourselves and the spirit that works through all things. For what are the bigger bodies made of? They are made of people, from top to bottom. Therefore they are infused with humanity and spirit. Whilst their huge nature may seem, at times to be intimidating, bureaucratic, corporate or clandestine, they are still connected to us. They can still offer you a great deal. So take your inner wisdom and infuse it with the known, the expertise, the proven and the informed. For you cannot do this gig of life alone. We all need entities larger than ourselves from time to time, the emergency services being just one obvious example. Hand over some trust to the wisdom of group thinking and wisdom. Whilst still keeping your heart and head in frame. Somewhere in the mix of what you know and what they know, there is a nugget of truth, hope and faith waiting to be distilled into your evolution.

LAST FEW DECKS REMAINING - No plans for a reprint. A beautiful, powerful and unique deck of Tarot Cards inspired by the feminine divine and the inner child, designed and painted by myself spiritual author and artist Alice Grist. I am so excited to birth these cards into the world. These cards were painted by me using watercolour and acrylic paints. I had much helps and inspiration from my then 4 year old daughter, Ivy Belle, who designed the beautiful back cover, and a couple of the cards too (Princess of Swords, 4 of Wands)! These cards were produced in the aftermath of having written my popular book, Dirty and Divine. I was all worded out, four books later and ready for a change... I felt pulled to colour and paint and drawing. The cards started as a bit of fun. Something that my daughter and I could focus on together. In the beginning I had no intention of publishing them... But then they started to take shape, and they brought a lot to my life. So I decided to get a very limited number designed and printed out professionally, so that they may find another life with you! I cant wait to share them with you! Cosmic Mother cards will connect you to the innocence, fun and folly of the inner child. They make tarot simple, and accessible, whilst retaining the depth and power necessary for spiritual work. I recommend them to everyone who wants to explore tarot from within their own world, using their life as expert and experience. Order yours today to start the Cosmic Mother Journey! Price includes postage and packaging. Please provide a valid address in 'note to seller' for your cards to be sent to.  I feel like I'm about to share my biggest secret with you. Something that I hadn't, until this year, really acknowledged fully to myself. However a series of events have had me going deeper into my own spirituality. This confirmed what I should have know all along. Spirit has always made herself known to me. She has always been in my life. Her latest antics have brought that home with startling veracity and I want to share this with you, because, maybe she has been with you too. My life has always been somewhat guided. I have never felt alone or entirely lonely. For as long as I can remember, there was always some 'other' some loving force around me. As a kid I justified it to myself as my active imagination. But the wisdom I held then, has come back this year in such a powerful way. More on that in a moment... First let's talk about all of those magical things that make up the backdrop of our lives, that we may not explore, but that gift us some mystery, some wonder. My first memory of this came in what seemed a very human form. I vividly recall playing with a bikes wheels with my brother, we must have been aged about 3 and 4. We were daring each other to spin the wheel fast and put our fingers in the spokes. We held no fear, and it was a matter of time before one of us stuck our podgy, mucky little kid hands in the spinning wheel. When out of nowhere, in our private garden, a nice man came over. He explained that we shouldn't do that, because he did it, and he lost some fingers. He showed us his missing fingers. So we didn't do it. Nobody remembers that man. Or why he might have been there in the grounds of my Dad's vicarage. Needless to say, my fingers are intact, which is a good job too for all this typing! I remember spending a great deal of time staring into the air as a child. Because I can see the energy. Especially when I look at the sky, or often bright flashes around people (particularly when they are speaking deploy their lives). And no, I'm not talking about the dust motes that float lazily across the cornea. I'm talking about the zipping white and sometimes coloured light that seems to make this place up. I checked the other day whilst on the trampoline with my girls. We gazed up to the sky, which is not a solid mass of blue or grey, but a seething mass of energy. Yeah I know, maybe I sound crazy.... It is what it is though. Take another look... I have always had this wise voice within. She has protected me. She has warned me against dangerous situations and people. She has had me dream up a near car crash that woke me with a start, but saved me the very next morning when the dream played out in real life and caused my reactions to be quicker. She told me to be damned scared that time I was walking home alone in the dark as a teenager, and a car pulled up with two grown men, and started driving alongside me. I quickened my pace and got the hell away - thank goodness I was near home. But soon after that a woman was found murdered in a ditch, a mile or so up the road. I'm not saying these things were linked. but still, it makes you think? I don't consider myself 'psychic', yet she causes me to receive strong feelings around people and animals. I get their emotions, their worries, their love, their aggression, I just seem to know a thing or two about them... I can feel a person's reaction to me, which can be quite the shocking and electrifying experience sometimes! I believe there is an underlying level of connection, and it is something that can really be experienced and understood when we consciously tune into it and allow for it as a reality. She has spoken to me, twice, outloud. Like, really bloody loud. The most potent time being when she piped up from nowhere to say, 'there are no mistakes'. I was in the car, and the voice came booming from my passenger seat. Yet I was alone. Or was I... And really, isn't that just the best advice? She brings her messages with my tarot. Like when my husband was having a heart attack at hospital and I was home with the girls awaiting childcare to arrive. I was shaking like a leaf in hurricane. I pulled a card. The comfort of which was not only astounding, but the message, of transformation proved to be true. This is but one of thousands of examples of tarot genius she has gifted me... Just look to my clients testimonial page for more evidence that... I have so many examples and one day I'm sure I will fill another book with them. And as for you, I hope some of this resonates, and takes you to your personal examples. Because I bet you have so many... As it happens. My spirit, she upped her game recently. She came to me as a muse, as total inspiration, and she had me write a book, in five days flat. It is the most powerful assessment and guidance on life, that I have ever unwittingly stumbled across anywhere, never mind emanating from my own mind! I mean wow. When the spirit moves through you. Just wow. I hope to share that book with you one day soon... But I'll tell you something else. That spirit, she told me she was all of us. The connection she described was beyond mind-blowing. In doing this she gave herself the nickname 'Dany'. Which is neither male or female, and yeah, she is genderless. I choose to call her a she, because, ya' know, redress the balance. So I'm writing this because something in me has reached a deeper understanding. And it is so important I share this truth. So you can start to feel out your own. I expect Dany, who has been my inner wisdom, ally for life, has more to share with us all. So watch this space! And stay in touch. Here are some ways to connect to Dany and I on the regular...
