TGA President - Linda Henery

Linda drew the World Card, calling upon her to acknowledge Tarot on a global scale and the Tarot Guild of Australia’s role worldwide. It also requires looking at the Tarot Guild completing a cycle and needing direction to begin another exciting phase.

Linda began studying Tarot in the late 1980’s.The study was motivated by quest for wisdom as it became apparent that wisdom had to be sought and was not a by-product of the aging process. Public libraries was where that search began for her. The thirst for more and more knowledge continues. Linda, has been a Professional Member of the Tarot Guild since 1997 and has been reading professionally since then. She has been a committee member for the past 6 years ,filling various positions during that time. These include Treasurer, Secretary, Vice President and a member of the Transition Panel for Professional Membership. Linda accepted the role of President in September,2010.

As a qualified Teacher of the Deaf, communicating through symbols and signs provided firm foundations for reading the symbology in the Tarot. She has studied esoteric subjects, in particular Palmistry and Mediumship, for many years. She combines a busy family life with reading and teaching professionally. Mixing with other Tarot enthusiasts has given her great enjoyment and continues to challenge her search for wisdom.

It is Linda’s belief that "The tarot reveals the energy around us, providing clarity of our feelings and situation, which in turn empowers us to use our free will wisely."

Vice-President - Kerry Gummersall

Kerry loves the Tarot because being a visual person, Tarot is a splendid way of intuitively tuning into the visual cues, clues and symbols that the cards give and allowing her to focus on a person’s energetic field to help find out their direction or purpose in life, as to what’s happening in their present life and potentially what could come around in their future.

When Kerry was little there were many things that went bump in the night and strangely enough still does. With nocturnal shadowy people walking across her family’s front veranda and a menacing something in the hallway, Kerry and her sister knew they were not alone. But nonetheless, her sister use to delight in telling her the most grisly ghost stories before her sister would fall off to sleep at night leaving little Kerry wide awake and cringing in horror. As she grew older her awareness of her sixth sense, her intuition expanded and she began to realise that there were other existences beyond scary ghosts and Kerry’s thirst for knowledge about the other realms that are part and apart from the physical, five sense world.

She found the mysterious Tarot 37 years ago and joined many psychic and medium circles over the years. Apart from studying Tarot officially later on, she studied various different modalities which included NLP Masters, Kinesiology, Reiki I & II, Feng Shui and Numerology. She teaches Tarot and Numerology and does Tarot and Lenormand Readings privately and at social gatherings.

Kerry joined the TGA in 2006 and became a Professional Member two years later. She is currently the Vice President and looks forward with enthusiasm to the exciting expansion and growing evolution of the Tarot Guild.

Secretary - Ann Wright

Ann’s first experience of Tarot was some twenty years ago with the Mother Peace deck. She found the round cards a challenge so it was not until about five years ago that she revisited her interest in Tarot. She then attended several workshops in Melbourne before completing the one year course on reading the Tarot with Stella Woods. Tarot reading is a hobby that Ann shares with friends and often finds its perspective on issues powerful and useful. She is an Interest Member of the guild having joined two years ago and wants to support its work in building the professionalism of guild membership. In her first year a committee member, Ann provides back up to the treasurer as required as well as being on the committee.

Michelle has been interested in Tarot for most of her adult life. She became a member of the Tarot Guild of Australia in 2008 to learn more about Tarot and meet other Tarot readers. Her favourite deck is the Baroque Bohemian Cats' Tarot because of the beautiful art work, but she does most of her readings from the Rider Waite deck and uses a variety of other decks to compliment or clarify the reading. Michelle loves to travel both in Australia and overseas and always takes her Tarot cards with her.

As the Membership Secretary, Michelle maintains the membership data base, processes applications and renewals and sends birthday cards to our members.

Kim Methven

Kim has had a love affair with Tarot and the World of Symbols since 1992. The Study of the Tarot was suggested to Kim by her then Spiritual Teacher, as a way of channelling her intuitive abilities into a working form and also as an extension of a developing knowledge of symbols she was acquiring through dream work and dream interpretation.

As soon as the tarot was suggested, a teacher appeared and under the nurturance of Guild Professional Member, (the late) Sandra McCarthy, the seeds of Tarot began to grow so that Kim was reading regularly for friends and family.

The Cards were put away when the Path turned towards Spiritual Healing, Massage Therapy and Dream Interpretation, but even then her Waite -Smith deck remained treasured. The Tarot was rekindled three years ago when in “inner prompting” started Kim searching for a new teacher. Again the teacher appeared, this time in the form of Linda Marson. Linda introduced Kim to the TGA and encouraged her to go on Committee.

Kim has been on Committee for 2 terms and looks at the position as a way to Serve, helping in whatever capacity is needed, whenever needed. Although Kim sees the Tarot as more of a tool for Spiritual Development, she is working towards gaining professional status and hopes to eventually pass on what she is learning to other Students of the Tarot.
