Why tarot?
Explore character archetypes, inciting incidents, rising actions, turning points, even dialogue. Your tarot cards are always in conversation with you. You can tease out what ifs or generate new ideas when you feel stuck. You might be inspired by a seemingly random suggestion in the cards, have your ideas confirmed, or stumble into sudden clarity about your characters' motivations or next moves.
Start by referencing and learning the meanings associated with each tarot card. Card meanings vary a bit from deck to deck, but you will get a feel for the Major Arcana cards versus the Minor Arcana (Pip cards), including each of the four suits (Wands, Swords, Cups, Pentacles) and court card archetypes (Kings, Queens, Knights, Pages), the visual imagery, symbolism, and card numbers.
Using Tarot as a Writing Tool
The best and highest use of a tarot deck is self-development. For writers, that idea extends to using tarot as a generative writing tool anywhere, anytime, to explore themes, character development, elements of plot structure, even dialogue.
Your tarot cards are always in conversation with you. You can tease out your what ifs, confirm your ideas or generate new ones, get inspired by a suggestion in the cards, stumble into sudden clarity about a character's motivations or their next moves.

NOTE
As a general rule, aways be wary of fake & scam tarot accounts online. There are always fake accounts popping up. Rest assured, I will never send you direct messages on social media or reach out to offer you tarot services or readings. If someone does contact you using my name or brand, please ignore it, report it, or block it. It isn't me.
