Mother Proserpine

From the flames of suffering is forged the steel of victory

Utilising the divinatory practices of astrology and the tarot
to face your deepest, darkest challenges
and return with your greatest blessings

Black and white portrait of a woman with long dark hair, glasses, and a serious expression, against a dark background.

I’m Shona, the mum behind Mother Proserpine.

I’m an astrologer, tarot reader,
and paradoxically,
an objector to ill-considered spiritual nonsense.

The wisest of the Romans observed the power of astrology and the visionaries of the Italian Renaissance crafted the full archetypal deck of the tarot. As a historian, I am interested in what these mighty people of the past saw in these systems and I become more convinced with each passing day that they were accurate in the conclusions they arrived at.

And so, here I am: a modern woman with ancient tools.

Perhaps they can still be of some use…

Support My Work

I do this work for two reasons.

Firstly, because I love it and I don’t think about anything else.

And secondly, because I’m a stay-at-home mum that spends all of my time with my glorious daughters, Amity and Magenta. I wouldn’t have life any other way but times are hard and our little family is a lot of financial strain for Father Proserpine to shoulder alone. Anything that you can give to help me continue raising my girls and doing the work I adore is appreciated more than you can know.

Thank you.
