One to wither, one to grow;
One for the sidhe and one for the crow.
The cycle of sowing and harvest is one that we see reflected around us every day . . . There are times for productivity and there are times for rest. The Seed and Sickle Oracle deck is designed to encourage reflection on both of these.
Each card carries two meanings; one for times when moving forward is important, and one to help cultivate your own wellbeing. Whether you are sowing seeds for your next big project or harvesting rewards for a period of rest, The Seed and Sickle will accompany you on this journey.
From Fez Inkwright, creator of the illustrated folklore books Folk Magic and Healing and Botanical Curses and Poisons.

The New Chapter Tarot is one woman’s self-portrait of change. Faced with the realization that her relationship was coming to an end, Kathryn Briggs’ entire life was at an either/or moment. She was an immigrant, on a marriage visa, with no professional contacts and not much in the way of community back home. Was she prepared to blow up her entire life? To risk what was known, for what could be?
“Arting through” her problems, Kathryn painted tarot cards as feelings arose and presented themselves to be dealt with. The Queen of Swords is the friend who offered their shoulder to cry on before giving the keenest advice, the 6 of Disks is the adopted cat who helped her feel rooted and home, Strength is the friend she hadn’t seen in 20 years but who had also returned to the strange place they were from but never felt they belonged.
Each card of The New Chapter Tarot is a meditation in paint; a feeling arose and it became a card and was released. This completed deck represents a new life, a circle of Hope and Friendship and Love.
Hand-painted in stunning watercolours and filled with beautifully diverse representation, The New Chapter Tarot is also rich in mythology, sacred geometry, and traditional symbolism. It’s a deck from a practicing witch with a deep understanding of the craft.

Mystical Medleys: A Vintage Cartoon Tarot
a ten-week watercolor painting course to cultivate mindfulness and creativity
978-1-912634-26-2 * £11.99 / $16.95 * published April 2021
Soul Color is a ten-week watercolour painting course to cultivate mindfulness and creativity. This beautiful book will teach you how to enjoy watercolour painting as a contemplative practice for self-discovery.
Develop confidence to paint more intuitively, give yourself permission to enjoy the unexpected and make mistakes, deepen your meditation skills and discover a new sense of reflective calm.
An art teacher with over 15 years’ experience, Emma Burleigh shares her knowledge through workshops and courses. Her specialty is mindful watercolour helping others expand their skills as artists while also taking them on a peaceful journey within.
Soul Color isn’t a traditional ‘how to’ book. It is the outcome of several years of research, trial and error with students and friends who’ve come to Emma’s workshops and classes to explore this territory with her.
“I have never seen a book that offers both instruction in an art medium, in this case, watercolor, and thoughtful prompts for using the medium to know self, soul and imagination so successfully. Process and product are seamlessly joined in this beautiful book. Emma Burleigh has generously demonstrated her skill through the exquisite illustrations while giving us the clear and simple how-to directions to achieve our own authentic expression” – Pat B Allen
“Perfectly polished and cleverly concise, this book will teach you how to re-connect, re-discover and reinvent yourself through the art of watercolours.” – review by A., one of Emma’s students
