Nichola Snook-Shelton - Western Australia.

Nichola is a quirky Virgo with a passion for healing, tarot, and connecting people with the perfect deck. Following her interest in healing, sound therapy, and tarot, Nichola completed her Diploma in Sound Therapy and The Tarot Practitioner Course at the School of Sacred Arts. Sound therapy and card readings unexpectedly took a back seat when a new opportunity arose. What started as selling some tarot decks at the Western Australia Tarot Conference in 2023 became a change in direction with Tarot. Nichola discovered the incredibly large range and diversity of tarot decks, from those suitable for beginners, experienced readers, artistic creations and those decks not commonly found locally in Perth. Nichola loves exploring decks, researching deck creators and the differences that the decks may have. When you see Nichola selling her decks, you will see the delight in her sharing information and differences about each deck. Nichola is passionate about tarot and sharing tarot knowledge with other people, as well as expanding her studies into Astrology and recently honing her tarot reading skills, looking at being a professional tarot reader.

Sharon Richards - Western Australia.

Sharon Richards is the founder of the Soul Empowerment Academy, where she works as a medium, teacher, and guide to those seeking a deeper relationship with their own intuitive and mediumistic gifts. With a deep love of the sacred arts, particularly tarot and the power of storytelling, Sharon has built her practice on the belief that ancient wisdom and direct spiritual experience can transform how we understand ourselves and our place in the world. She is the creator of a twelve-week program dedicated to developing mediumship and intuitive faculties, guiding students through a structured yet deeply personal journey into their own innate gifts. In addition to her teaching work, Sharon offers reflective-style tarot readings that invite clients into deeper self-inquiry, bringing this same spirit of reflection and revelation to her speaking engagements. Presentation Title The Emperor's Transmission. The emperor stands as one of tarot's most misunderstood archetypes, too often reduced to authority, structure, or control. But beneath the throne lies a deeper transmission: the story of father-line inheritance, passed down through generations as patterns of presence and absence, strength and shame, protection and abandonment. Drawing on mythology and the Mythic Tarot tradition, where the emperor carries the complexity of Zeus himself, this talk explores how the wound of the father can show up and how it can also be the very site of its own healing. This is not simply a mythological reading of the card. Sharon brings her own lived experience as a medium and tarot therapist into the work, offering a perspective grounded in direct spiritual and ancestral knowing.
