Using Tarot to Create Narrative (Online Class)

Tarot and storytelling are closely linked and surprisingly similar: both are about narrative. The Fool’s journey is parallel to the concept of the Hero’s Journey monomyth. Tarot cards can become a helpful tool for any and every writer to clear blocks in the writing process. In this workshop, we will use the tarot to create a narrative through character development and writing prompts.
