Write By Numbers

A Zoom workshop – register interest below for the next time this class runs.

Sparking Action and Plot with Number Cards

We’ll use the symbolic associations of the number cards to disrupt then steady the course of our stories. Random happenings, risks, complications: let’s make things happen.

The tarot is a great gift for writers: an invitation to the imagination, a tool for creative focus, a prompt for accessing our unconscious drives.

These interactive Tarot For Writers workshops explore the potential of the tarot in creative writing as well as writing for personal growth. Different classes survey the archetypes of the Major Arcana, investigate the four elements, court cards and number cards of the Minor Arcana, and unlock the symbols and associations of individual cards.

We do in-class writing experiments, and you’ll take away ideas to develop in your personal practice, whether you’re generating new pieces or revising work-in-progress. We also discuss resources on tarot and investigate different styles of tarot decks and divination cards – feel free to bring your own cards to class to share with us too. After the class you’ll be sent a handy reference on tarot for writers as well as other resources to explore at your own pace.

Each class is stand-alone. Beginners as well as experienced practitioners in tarot and all forms of writing are welcome. You can read more about my approach in my blog post Tarot and Writing.
