At last, I’m in the final stages of prepping LittleRedTarot to be passed on to its fabulous new owners, my old pals Elena and Kaan, who will be taking over next week (eeeeep!!!)
I’m so excited for you to meet them – you’re going to be in safe and loving hands with these two, who want to put community back at the centre of LRT
They can’t wait to get to know you – and to kick things off they have a survey for you! I don’t want you to miss it, so here’s the link!
Quick bits:
- If you’d like to stay in touch with me and hear about what I’m doing next, hop on my new personal newsletter :)
- If you’re looking for a witchy back-to-school planner, take a look at Dreaming the World to Come – we have a handful left!
You’ll hear from me again before I go, of course. Shop-wise, we remain open for now if you’re looking to pick up a deck – but please accept slower service throughout September as we all do our best for a smooth transition :)
Now without further ado – please meet Kaan and Elena!
Hello fellow fools – it’s your new hosts of Little Red Tarot, Kaan & Elena!
We’re beyond excited (and more than a little terrified) as we step into Beth’s tarot shop boots. You’ll get to know us more in time—and we’d love to get to know you too—but we thought we’d start with some quick introductions.
We both live in small-town mid-Wales, a few minutes walk from each others’ doors and surrounded by rolling green hills. (For a few years, all three of us—Kaan, Elena & Beth—actually lived on the same street!)
ELENA
I’m Elena (she/they) and I’m an artist, a facilitator, an organiser, a parent to two excellent and creative little beings, and I like spreadsheets and the sea. Beth gave me my first tarot deck (the Tarot of the Crone) in 2017, after which I did some classic neurospicy obsessive crush-level reading-all-the-things buying-all-the-decks listening-to-all-the-podcasts until settling down to a more sustainable relationship with the cards.
My personality card is the Empress, which feels a good summary of my Taurus-sun earthiness combined with a dash of Leo-rising warmth. My art and my general vibe is pretty Octavia Butler inspired: what does it look like for us to build collective liberation / find pleasure in the midst of apocalypse.
KAAN
Hello, I’m Kaan (they/them) and I’m a writer, drag king, cat parent and a big nerd (talk to me about octopuses, board games and natural building). I was also gifted my first indie tarot deck by Beth, the wonderful Gentle Tarot, which I’m currently in a lovely daily(ish) practice with.
ADVISORS
We love that LRT has a history of taking guidance from the cats in our lives, and we want to continue that tradition. So we’d love to introduce you to two of our brilliant guides on this journey:
-
Head of softness: Mandy (above, left)
-
Head of interdimensional perspectives: RoBear (above, right)

Some stuff we are looking forward to: getting our geek on over tarot, supporting queer, disabled, bpoc creatives, building relationships with the wider LRT community, and dreaming into workshops and other collective spaces for tarot.
What about you? What would you like to see or hear more of as we step into this new collective venture with each other and you all?
We’d love it if you had a few minutes to fill in our quick survey, or if you fancied dropping us an email: are there decks you think we should be stocking? Blogs you’d like to read or write? Workshops you’d like to participate in, or organise?
So much looking forward to stepping into this next part of Little Red Tarot’s journey with you…
Elena and Kaan
