Tarot: Creating the Story
To help the querant better understand his or her fate as told by the tarot cards, a good reader would pull everything together by telling it in story form. In most cases, The Fool represents the querent and his journey is defined by what the cards say.
When creating a tarot story, it needs to be done spontaneously. Tarot readers must understand what the cards mean. Once this part has been mastered, the reader can then start practicing spontaneous storytelling via the cards. As time goes by and the tarot reader gains more experience, he or she will be able to seamlessly combine both – telling the story of the cards based on its actual meaning.
Most stories have the following part:
- The hero (represented by the Fool)
- The problem or conflict
- The role of the guides
- The projected outcome
- Action plans to help the querent shape his or her destiny into a more positive outcome
There are several techniques for story telling, but each tarot reader must find his or her own way. An effective method is called stream-of-consciousness. This is when you start with one thought and say what you feel out loud as they occur. With this method, there is no censorship or control, in the end you tell a story based on your feelings. All you need to do is let the words come out and see where it goes from there. This method is especially effective for single-card readings.
Others follow a pattern based on how the tarot card reading appear. This is a more organized way of telling the tarot story but may end up being too structured and scripted. As a new reader, you must be able to resist from basing your reading purely on the meaning of the cards and adding a bit of storytelling creativity to the mix.
