The
DEGREE OF THE WORK
The Entry:
Rules of the Table:
This isn’t about guessing the future; it’s about seeing exactly where you’re standing so you can make your next move with your eyes open. Choose the degree of the work that fits the weight of your situation.
Why I do this Graft
I don’t sit at this Table because I enjoy seeing people in a crisis. I sit here because I believe that no one should have to walk a jagged path without a map.
I realise this because I’ve had to break my own mirrors before.
In the old Celtic tradition, they talked about the Anam Cara – the soul friend. This wasn’t someone who told you what you wanted to hear to make you smile. It was someone who loved you enough to tell you the absolute truth so you didn’t walk off a cliff.
That is my handshake with you. I am your scout. I will find the louse on the bonnet and I will name the ghost in the train, but I do it so you can walk away from this Table with your head up and your feet on the ground. You have my word and my focus.
The Sanctuary of the Table
1. A Judgmentless Board: The 1650 Masterblocks have no interest in your shame or your “mistakes.” They are geometric tools. They don’t see “good” or “bad”; they only see Inertia and Friction. You can be honest here because the board doesn’t care about your morals—it only cares about your movement.
2. The Private Room: This is not a fete performance. There is no crowd. Everything discussed over this wood stays in the grain of the wood. Whether we are talking about your career, your family ghosts, or the “hitch” in your marriage, the conversation is strictly between the specialist and the traveller.
3. The Invisible Backbone: My training in NLP and Counselling is my “Safety Net.” It ensures that this remains a grounded, professional sanctuary where the truth can be told without the ceiling falling in.
The Trinity of the Work:
Grit, Graft, and The Open Road
Before we sit at the Table, you need to understand the tools. This is not a performance;
it is a refit.
THE GRIT (The Texture of Truth)
The Grit is the rough, honest truth of your situation. It is the sand you need under your boots so you don’t slip in the dark. I will never polish the board for you; if the road is jagged, you will see the edge. Without the friction of the truth, you have no traction.
THE GRAFT (The Labour of the Table)
The Graft is the work we do together. It is the quiet, focused labour of finding the real signal in the cards and hitching your trailers. I bring decades of study and the logic of the woodblocks; you bring the willingness to face the board. It is a handshake of effort.
THE OPEN ROAD (The Result)
The Open Road is the goal. It is that moment the mud is behind you, the wheels are turning, and you finally have the freedom to move on to the next place. We use the Grit to see the board and the Graft to do the work, but we don’t stop until the path is clear and you are back on the road.
“The ink is 400 years old. The logic is even older. If the board is rattling, we don’t pray for a miracle; we perform a refit.”

Degrees of The Work
The Quick Brief
The Format: A 15 Minute Session. Your reading is recorded live as I read in mp3 audio format and is sent via email to your inbox.
The Logic: A fast, sharp look at a single problem. When you just need to know the one thing you’re missing so you can get back to work.
We draw 2 Marseille Cards for the Quick Brief Reading.
1
The Perimeter
(Boundary Audit)
The Situation: You suspect a breach or an opportunity at your gate. You need to know if your immediate boundary is secure or if a specific opening is a trap.
The Telling: A two-card sweep of the immediate perimeter to identify the one variable that requires your attention before the day is out.
2
The Clockwork Audit (Timing & Inertia)
The Situation: You feel the gears grinding. You’re unsure if you should push the lever now or wait for the mechanism to align. You need to know if you are moving too fast or stalling.
The Telling: Identifying the current state of your timing. We look at the internal gears to see if your momentum is genuine or if you are fighting the natural rotation of the board.
3
The Social Read
(The Louse Detector)
The Situation: You’re dealing with a specific person or a high-stakes meeting. Something feels off in the air, but you can’t name the variable.
The Telling: A diagnostic of the counter-party. We find the “Louse on the Bonnet” – the hidden intent or the visible flaw in their performance that you are currently ignoring.
4
The Wall of Death
(The Edge Check)
The Situation: Pinned to the wall by centrifugal force, you don’t have the luxury of a long-range forecast. You need a readout on the immediate vibration. This telling focuses on the current rotation – identifying exactly where the tyres are thinning and what needs to hold firm so you can make
it off the vertical and back to the horizontal.
The Telling: A clinical “Pulse Check” for high-stakes momentum. We identify the single most dangerous variable in your trajectory right now to prevent a wash-out.
The Tactical Map
The Format: A 30 Minute Session. Your reading is recorded live as I read in mp3
The Logic: A deeper look at the three main axes: The Ground (Where you are), The Knot (What’s stopping you), and The Open Road (Where you’re going).
We draw 3 Marseille Cards – The Triple Card Axis Spread for the Tactical Map Reading.
1
The Hitch & The Load (Relationship Infrastructure)
The Situation: You are hauling a heavy rig – a life built on history, shared obligations, and the high-pressure stakes of your connections. Whether it is a love relationship, a business partnership, a social tie, or a core friendship, you suspect the coupling is failing. This audit checks the mechanical health of that link: Are you moving together as a dual-axle powerhouse, or are you dragging a dead weight that is about to snap the hitch and leave the whole operation in the ditch?
The Telling: A structural audit of the coupling. We check the strength of the steel vs. the mass of the load to determine if the relationship – be it love, business, social, or friendship – is built for the long road or if it’s time to unhitch.
2
The Rifle Range
(Target Alignment)
The Situation: You have two clear paths or targets in front of you. You can only take one shot, but the wind of external variables is blowing your aim off course and you’re starting to doubt your eye.
The Telling: Calculating the windage and the recoil. We map the risk between competing objectives to ensure your aim is true and the prize is worth the cost of the shot before you pull the trigger.
The Telling: Calculating the real cost and the “recoil” of the move.
4
The Helter Skelter
(The Controlled Descent)
The Situation: ou are in a situation that is moving fast and downward. You’ve lost the brakes, the floor is spinning, and you’ve realized you can’t stop the slide. You aren’t looking for a “win”; you’re looking for a safe landing.
The Telling: Mapping the descent. We audit the velocity of your trajectory to identify the exact coordinate where you can step off the slide without a structural collapse.
3
The Ghost Train
(Cycle Breaking)
The Situation: Your life feels like it’s on rails. You keep hitting the same scares and making the same mistakes in a loop that feels familiar but exhausting. You’ve lost the steering wheel to a track you didn’t lay.
The Telling: Locating the emergency brake. We identify the “fixed tracks” of your repeating patterns and find the one physical exit that derails the car and gets your boots back onto real ground.
The Hour at the Table
60-Minute Live Session (Zoom/Private Room).
The Logic: A total rebuild. We clear the board completely and look at your whole life strategy from the ground up. Includes a written 90-day plan.
We draw 7-10 Marseille Cards – The Architect’s Grid Spread for The Hour at the Table Reading.
– Each Hour at the Table Session is £70.00 –
1
The Hall of Mirrors
(Identity & Persona Audit)
The Situation: You have spent so long performing for partners, family, or bosses that you no longer recognize the face in the glass. You are exhausted by the role you are playing and you suspect you are living a life that was designed by someone else.
The Telling: A deep, live audit to break the distorted reflections of your persona. We identify exactly where you are leaking authority to other people’s expectations to find the real person underneath the mask.
2
Winter Quarters
(The Strategic Refit)
The Situation: You are coming out of a period of total exhaustion, loss, or structural collapse. Your gears are seized, your canvas is torn, and you don’t know how to start the engine again without repeating the same burnout.
The Telling: A total system refit. We spend the hour mending your mental infrastructure and greasing your gears, building a concrete 90-day strategy to ensure you return to the road stronger, lighter, and with a balanced load.
3
The Traveller’s Altar
(Life-Path & Heritage Mapping)
The Situation: You are at a life-defining crossroads where the weight of your heritage feels like a dead weight and the noise of the future is shouting over your own signal. You need to know not just your next move, but your actual direction.
The Telling: The most sacred degree of discernment. We clear the board completely to map your entire life-path, identifying the fated rhythms of your walk and the strategic moves required to cross the threshold with intent.
The Handshake:
The Travellers Toll
1. Contributions: The contribution is settled securely via the PayPal Gateway. I never see, nor do I store, your financial coordinates. The sanctuary of the Table begins at the gate.
2. Be Specific: In ALL instances I require clear, specific questions. I don’t answer vague questions about “the future.” I map specific crossroads. Tell me the real story, and I’ll give you a real answer. If you hide the truth, the map will be blurred.
3. Your Telling: To give your Telling the focus it deserves, please send your details within 48 hours of payment – ideally alongside your Handshake. If I don’t hear from you in that window, the session will be placed on hold to keep the Table open for others. We will pick up the thread as soon as your dispatch arrives.
4. Focus on the Living: I am a psychic and trained spirit medium, but I have put the ghosts to rest for this work. At this Table, we talk about your life right now. If you’re looking for a séance, you’re at the wrong stall.
5. The Work is Final: I do not sugar-coat the truth. I will tell you what the cards indicate and what you need to hear, not necessarily what you want to hear. If you are looking for someone to confirm your own expectations, you are at the wrong Table. Because of the time and labour involved in the Telling, and because the graft is bespoke, there are no refunds under any circumstances once we have shaken hands and started the work – even if the readout is not what you hoped for. (Please refer to my Policies & Ethics page.)
6. The Terms of Entry: Travellers are advised to consult the comprehensive Policies and Ethics documentation in full. By purchasing or utilising any services provided at this Table, you are deemed to have read, understood, and consented to be bound by all terms, conditions, ethical boundaries, and logistical mandates in their entirety.
