Let the Tarot guide you creatively

In my opinion, creativity and intuition come from the same source.
Whether you’re planning for NaNoWriMo, writing fanfics or creating writing assignments for high schoolers…. the Tarot CAN help you brainstorm a story in less than 10 minutes.

Trust me, even my muggle-husband was able to have fun with this spread and he came up with a wonderful romance story idea!

For this example reading, I’m using the Rider Waite Smith (RWS) deck.
The type of deck you choose can also greatly affect how your mind pulls out a story from it.

  • The Shadowscapes deck is great for high fantasy, fae realm, supernatural style stories.

  • The RWS is great for adventure, fantasy and even romance stories.

  • The Dark Mansion or Hieronymous Bosch Tarot are perfect for Dickensian style writing or renaissance period historical fiction.

  • The Jane Austen Tarot is wonderful for … you guessed it, period style & historical drama or romance!

Even if writings not your thing, this spread is a wonderful exercise to work on weaving the cards together. It will do your tarot skills a great deal of good to simply practice with them in this way every now and again.

Remember, you don’t have to use the story the Tarot gives you. Sometimes I use this spread to simply work my creative muscles!
You also don’t even have to choose the cards at random. You are allowed to pick them face up! Yes! Break the rules and see what happens!
