Tarot Writing Prompts

The fun thing about Tarot is that it can be used for creative endeavors, especially for writing.

If you’re needing some fuel to get the creative fires burning, then Tarot can help you out. With the Courtcards acting as actual characters, the Major Arcana acting as major events, and the Minor Arcana as details, you can write entire series with a deck of cards.

However, this is just a small way they can be used. If you haven’t already checked it out, you can find 31 spreads in the #30DayTarotWritingChallenge, with which you can structure and write an entire novel. But if you’re just needing a little something to get you going on a writing exercise, I have some spreads and writing prompts generated via tarot spreads to help you along the way.
