Using the Tarot to Guide Your Writing

Saturday, June 1, 1 P.M. PT

This class will teach you how to use a deck of tarot cards to create well rounded characters, plot your story and/or breakthrough the dreaded writer's block. You will learn to intuitively read a card and use that knowledge to apply it to your work in progress or a brand new piece. You do not need to know how to read tarot to take this class. Many people shy away from the Tarot because it seems too overwhelming to learn the meanings behind each of the seventy-eight cards, but intuitive reading can be taught easily and quickly. By the end of class, attendees will have a basic understanding of the history and layout of the Tarot, know how to intuitively read cards at a basic level, learn several easy card spreads for writing characters, plot, and breaking writer’s block (as well as for divination), and use the cards and spreads as prompts to craft a story or aid in their current WIP. Class participants are invited to bring their own deck, but a deck will be provided to each attendee to use during class. Each attendee will also receive a laminated reference cards on a ring for quick keywords/meanings.
