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!

£30.00 - £49.99
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 re-birth these cards into the world. These cards were painted by 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)! We got busy with our vibrant designs whilst my baby, Clover slept beside us. The magic of that time is imbued on every image. 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 bright, 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! Date for delivery coming soon. Price includes postage and packaging. Please provide a valid address in 'note to seller' for your cards to be sent to. 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. And that thank you today comes in a momentary form. So thank you. Everything in my shop is reduced for the whole weekend! That includes my book Dirty & Divine, my Cosmic Mother Tarot and ALL my tarot readings. Plus, I have now released my 2019 year ahead readings and they too come straight into my shop today on sale! So now is the ideal time to get yours! Shop the sale now... Signed Copy of Dirty and Divine - UK ONLY

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. Does this card speak to you today?I'd love to hear your thoughts, come chat with me all things spirit and tarot on my Facebook Page... Signed Copy of Dirty and Divine - UK ONLY

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...

I have a confession. I had a terrible psychic reading last week and it sent me into a flurry of angst. Occasionally, despite my own tarot wisdom, I long to connect with a really great medium or reader who can give me some objective insight. As it happens I am nearly always disappointed. But in a moment of madness I had a reading with a locally well known psychic. She told me nothing other than banal generics and gave me more to wonder about, and worry about, than anything meaningful. I found myself trying to make her predictions fit. Even though they clearly didn't. And this is what so many of my clients say to me, that they are given predictions, they don't make sense, and yet they pour all their hopes into trying to get cohesion with what a 'psychic' said... This acted as a massive reminder for me for why I do my readings the way I do them. Because the most powerful force is free will, you know yourself better than any third party, and sometimes all you need is a bump in the right direction & to remember your own spirit. Not because you need to know a specific outcome... Maybe you read my popular article on this? Psychic Damage and Tarot Trash... Anyway this was powerful reminder that life is mystery and when we try to figure out the details, we tend to end up in a vexing and peculiar situation. It is supposed to be mystery. And when we allow that wisdom in, we can feel so much better. Letting go of control. or a need for control, is like floating peacefully on the ocean. Yeah there might be some storms coming, but it's hella nice whilst it lasts. In other words, be in the damn moment. Trust the mystery. So that is my message for today. Be careful who you hand your spiritual care to, and why you choose to do it! And if in doubt, forget it... Nobody knows you, like you know you... And that is precisely how I do my readings, write my books and share my thinkings. To remind you of that fact! If you are looking for a bump in the right direction (rather than some weird specifics that contradict the beautiful mystery) then I have several offerings up online now, starting at £19.99 and if you want to learn the cards for yourself, and empower your own damn life, then Dirty and Divine is a great read, and I have a few signed copies to sell... Watch this space as I have plans for a workshop in February!!! And i plan to make it super affordable and life changing! With Love, Alice
The Three of Cups has been my stalker card this year. And so the fact it cropped up today, after a weekend spent just me and my children, is no big surprise. Because when I painted that card, I did so to represent me and my daughters... And she is always cropping up to remind me, heavily, of my priorities, and to make those priorities light.
So what does this card mean to you... Well first let's turn to page 122 of my tarot book Dirty and Divine... This is a lengthy section with he general gist of embracing female power, being with your feminine aspects, getting together with your women, your girls. The card, for me is an ode to the wisdom and levity of female company, in all it's forms, in all it's incarnations. And yes this does not exclude the men, because we are all multifaceted, and it is time that dudes stepped into what is rightfully theirs, a side that is 'labelled' feminine, but that really is just a streak of what it is to be human. So whatever your day brings, handle it with whatever traits you choose to see as 'feminine'. Elevate those traits and utilise them like tools. Be with the mystery of womanhood and let it unfold a little for you. Treat it like a rainbow rather than a part of a duality, and allow it to teach you. On a more practical note. Make time for the women and girls in your life. Create a little magic with them. Gaze to the sky. Be in their company and honour it.

The Devil. There is overwhelm that exhausts you, and has you too tired and strained to see straight. And there is overwhelm that creeps into your mind and manifests itself as unhealthy habits, behaviours and patterns. This is your Devil. This overwhelm that has you misbehaving in many small, and sometimes big ways. You know yourself better than to let the Devil get the better of you, and yet, you find yourself here... Look to your overwhelm. Where does it have you acting up? How is it tying you to your worst self? Where are the habits and thoughts that drag you down sneaking back onto your agenda? Identify this, and you have the key to stopping it. Recognising your own deceptions, borne out of exhaustion and stress, is the first step towards being true to yourself and finding a happier place. The key is right there, in your intuition and your knowing. Take a step back form addictions, bad habits and fear. Find yourself where you are and trust that you can be different, choose different and find a way through the overwhelm without exhausting yourself with soul depriving thoughts and actions. I hope you enjoyed that reading! If you would love a personal reading with me, my tarot shop is once again open! Want to learn the cards for yourself?
