Writing with Tarot: Symbolism as a Tool for Creativity with Tawny Lara🔮

• Monday, Oct 5th
• 6-8EST with WritingWorkshops.com
• Live Seminar Via Zoom (class will be recorded)

From Tawny:

I see Tarot cards as tiny little pieces of witchy art with a rich, complex history.

Tarot cards are one of my many tools for writing prompts and introspection. I’m a lifelong student, voraciously learning from Mariana Louis and Alyssa Polizzi, who analyze tarot from an Archetypal, Jungian lens, Chelsey Tarot for Creativity who wrote an amazing book about Tarot and Creativity, and Jessica Dore, who’s readings are filled with therapeutic, philosophical gold.

In this 2-hour generative writing class, we’ll use Tarot imagery across the ages as writing prompts. Think art history meets journaling, with zero fortune-telling. Just a relaxed, inspiring space to write, think, and explore.

Come hang!

What We’ll Do

• Tarot 101 – A quick, friendly intro to suits, court cards, and the major/minor arcana—no prior knowledge required. If these words mean nothing to you, you’re still very much in the right place.
• Learn – Explore Tarot imagery from the 1600s through modern decks, paired with guided writing prompts.
• Inquire – Use the cards to investigate your current creative project, whether you’re stuck, starting, or mid-flow.
• Think – Connect Tarot imagery to your own life experiences and develop meaningful, personalized writing prompts.
• Q + A – The final 10 minutes are open for questions about writing, publishing, journalism, media, podcasting, and creative goal-setting.
