I treated myself recently to Tarot for Writers by Corinne Kenner, a book recommended by one of my writer friends. I've been fascinated by Tarot cards since I was about nine and made friends with an older girl in my neighborhood who had a deck that she'd let me look at sometimes. I learned to read them a few years ago through a friend from work, and I've got a few decks that I keep around to help me clear my head.
One of the first excercises to draw five cards to give yourself an protagonist, an antagonist, a protagonist's foil, an antagonist's foil, and a supporting character. I drew:
- the three of swords
- the sun
- the nine of pentacles
- the seven of wands
- the fool
