This was an idea that I had, trying to find a new writing style and finding a creative way to do it. My process is stranger than normal but inspiration and muses come in all different forms. I'm sorry if some of you don't know what I'm talking about, but this seems like a fun thing to do, even for five minutes at a stretch. I found this from a book called Tarot for Writers by Corrine Kenner. I just use this book for reference only, to help with writing ideas.
I use the Major Arcana, like The High Priestess, the Empress and The Hanged Man cards, to represent certain aspects of the Superstars in the stories. I shuffle and when I feel like the top card is the one I choose it, but if say one 'jumps' out of the deck, then that is the one that I want to use.
The Minor Arcana is the bulk of the cards in the deck. I use these to decide the situation that the signifiers are on. This is something like the three of cups, or the King of Swords, something like that. The process of choosing the Situation card is similar to as the Signifiers: shuffle and when I feel the top card is the one, or when one 'jumps' out, that is the one I use.
Once I have found the Signifier and the Situation cards I use their symbolism for what the story is going to be. Coming up with the ideas are hard. Each superstar will have a Signifier and a Situation card posted with each chapter. I only have a few in mind, but feel free to add in requests for either certain superstars or even certain tarot cards.
Also, on a personal note: I AM NOT A FORTUNE TELLER. I don't do divination with tarot cards. I have two decks that I don't use at all. This method I came up with is for writing purposes only.
So let's begin:
Deep Breathe, center and let's see who is first on the agenda…
