Seems I have a partner in crime I’m a big fan of genealogy and have studied my family tree (with the help of my ‘global’ family) for many years. I’m fortunate enough to have ancestors recorded in the history books, and who were also colourful enough to have found themselves noted in newspapers for bankruptcy and court appearances etc. I have one side of my lineage dating back to the 17th century, and yet on the other the trail goes cold at my great-grandparents. I’ll keep searching though

Seeing as you’re so interested in the subject of ancestors, I recommend you read this guest post by author and tarot reader, Nikki Mackay, called Ancestral Patterns of Life: In Tarot. Nikki uses the Tarot to explore family karma and provides a Tarot spread so you can also explore your own. She has also written a book about the subject should you wish to really delve into his area of genealogy.

I would love to hear how you get on with your own ancestral searches, especially within Tarot – please stop by again and share your experiences with me
