As so many are drawn to divination, even more so, I think, in troubled times, I’d like to offer a creative way to read your cards, using the language of storytelling and fairy tales/folklore. This is a system that I created last year that provides a new way to create spreads to read, so you can use your own cards, and any deck should work. In other words, the cards themselves do not have to be fairy-tale themed, as just the questions/subtopics are! I have chosen the structural system from the work of a famous narratologist to provide the basis for the options for the card spreads, and I’ll teach you his system first and apply it to how it enhances the reading of a familiar fairy tales. From that, I’ll show you how to take the elements of his system and instead of applying them to fairy tales, to apply them to tarot readings that you create. You’ll be able to customize your spread to your question and needs by using the language and organization of the system, creating a wealth of possibilities and ways to focus your reading. The system will provide hundreds of thousands of possible spreads, all based on your imagination, and will reinforce how much life itself, and the events therein, are a story waiting to be told. Please have your tarot cards at hand for class because we will be doing some practice spreads.
