Mystic Inspiration: Tarot as a Literary Tool

The rich symbolism and mysterious imagery of tarot cards can be a powerful tool for storytelling. In this interactive workshop, we’ll use tarot as a creative prompt to spark new ideas, uncover hidden themes, and break through writer’s block.

Through guided exercises, you’ll learn how to:
🔮 Use tarot cards to generate fresh story ideas
📖 Develop characters, plot twists, and settings from symbolic imagery
✨ Tap into your intuition to deepen your storytelling

No experience with tarot is necessary—just bring your curiosity and a notebook! Whether you're starting a new project or looking for fresh inspiration, this workshop will help you see your stories in a whole new way.
