Tarot: Creating the Story
Friday, August 21st, 2009To 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
