Turning Readers Into Writers

090 - Tarot for the author mindset


Listen Later

In this episode:

Mariëlle Smith shows you how you can use Tarot cards to inform and inspire your writing life.

But where Mariëlle differs from other readers, she doesn’t use Tarot specifically for storytelling, but (or any other card system) for developing your author mindset.

What struggles can you use Tarot for?

  • Connect with your intuition
  • Finding your voice
  • Tackling imposter syndrome

And much more...

Mariëlle admitted that when she ‘came out of the card slinging closet’ she was amazed at how many other authors use them, and I can back that up with my own experience. 

I’ve been amazed by how many authors use non-traditional tools to improve their writing and writing mindset.

So if you’re curious, don’t be embarrassed - you’re in good company :) 

"If there’s a book you want to read but it hasn’t been written yet, you must write it." - Toni Morrison

Mariëlle will take you through how to ask your deck questions and how to interpret the cards. 

She does emphasise that, like anything, interpreting the cards takes a bit of practice. Don’t worry if it feels awkward at first!

Despite writing her own book on tarot for writers, Mariëlle generously shares a lot of other free resources available for people new to Tarot.

If you're interested if Tarot can help you, today's episode is a must-listen!
