This episode is co-hosted by Susan Gold and Evelyn Pine. To participate, it doesn’t matter how much or how little you know about writing or the tarot.
Tarot Table Talk Episode Number 7: Writing with the Tarot #2 is 4.8 MB and 3:33 minutes in length, though this doesn’t include writing time. We encourage you to pause your recorder when you hear the chime so that you have ample time to write.
This warm-up exercise is designed to be used with all Writing with the Tarot episodes. In the warm-up, we give you a series of questions to help you explore the imagery of a card through writing. This can be a very satisfying stand-alone exercise as well.
What you will need
To do the Writing with the Tarot exercises, including the warm-up, you will, of course, need a favorite writing instrument—pen, pencil, or even a computer, and a tarot deck. You can find a tarot deck at any book store—though we encourage you to support a new age or independent book store. A great independent online tarot store is The Tarot Garden.
There are thousands of decks out there, and you might want to first go to Aeclectic Tarot, which has reviews of decks and sample images from them. Whatever deck you choose, just make sure that every card is rich with scenes and imagery. If you are still having trouble selecting a deck, you might try the classic Rider-Waite deck or the Golden Tarot deck.
Once you’ve got your deck, pen and paper—or computer, find a place conducive for writing.
We’d love to hear from you
This podcast course is a work in progress, so we would love to hear your feedback. We would also love to hear about your writing process for these exercises. Don’t be shy about posting!
