The Tarot deck is another useful tool for writers that can be used in a multitude of ways from story idea generation to character creation to evolving story events (plotting). Writers do not necessarily need to know the meanings of the cards to use them for storytelling.
You do not need to have access to a Tarot deck as there are several card generators online that can be used in place of having access to a physical Tarot deck.
The writer will use the information from the workshop with new and/or current writing projects. Exercises will be assigned for each lesson and I will be providing feedback.
NOTE: We will not cover individual card meanings, although that might be mentioned in passing, as the focus is more on the visual aspects of the cards and the writer’s intuition of what that card means to him or her and for the story.
