Writing with Tarot Card Prompts

Talking with my critique partner about Tarot cards reminded me that some writers use Tarot cards for plotting and characterization.

My muse has been sleeping on the job.

Can I reawaken her by using Tarot cards?

Tarot Cards for Creative Writing is a blog post by Whitney Hill, which gives examples of using Tarot cards for writing prompts.

Of course, that made me look for an owl Tarot deck!            


TAROT OF THE OWLS 

written by Pamela Chen, art by Elisabeth Alba


contains an easy to understand guidebook for beginners and a deck with delightful, imaginative owl art. 

I glanced at the guidebook last night and haven't even tried the deck yet. 

But, much to my surprise, this morning writing ideas came flying in. 


My moose muse has returned!

  2. Even if it hadn't worked as it did, the deck was worth it for the charmingly weird owl paintings. Hoot!
