How can you write a story using tarot cards?

I've done this for fun!
First, pick a character. Know the personality because they will react differently with each event.
Next, pick a set amount of cards. I do 3 for each...Beginning, middle, end.
Now interpret the cards as though your character is experiencing each one.

This is excellent practice learning archtypes in tarot.

Want to try? Give me a character and the rest of the cards and I'll write you a brief story.

Really. Wow thank you. Your very generous.

King of Wands
There once lived a fiery king who had achieved for his kingdom what all kings aspire to do. He was adored by all, especially the women. His years of hard work and devotion to his kingdom made him a very powerful king. Standing up for the right cause and getting the job done earned him the respect of kingdoms all around. He was an innovator, a motivator and an inspirater to all. Yet this king was unsettled.

Hanged Man
Being a fiery king, the urge to seek excitement and adventure began to intensify as the kingdom became stable. There were no needs to seek riches or land. No one challenged this kingdom, so there were no needs to defend. The king was stuck in a real rut. He felt as though he was just hanging around doing nothing of importance. He knew if he did not find some release he would stagnate the very fire of his soul. He felt he needed to shake things up a bit, and since he feels he is always right, he decided to do just that.

8 of Cups
The king decided the best way to deal with this was to bid farewell to his kingdom and comforts and journey off to find his true self. It wasn't long before the king realized that the same nagging feeling he had back home was with him as he searched for the unknown. After contemplating, he discovered it was loneliness. He reasoned he was far too busy to dedicate any time to 1 relationship. He also enjoyed the coming and going of many women because he liked the adventure in it. He avoided becoming involved so he wouldn't have to sustain any effort in it. This was perfectly acceptable so why would he change now?

Death
Well it didn't take long to realize that that attitude and worn out belief just had to go. The king needed to make this change in himself if he was to survive. This revelation was thrust at him like a sword, cutting to the very core of his fiery existence. He would be facing this change weather he liked it or not. It would be a tough journey but the king focused his attentions on the possibility of new opportunities that would open up to him.

Queen of Wands
If there hadn't been this transformation, the king might have missed the opportunity of a lifetime. Just as the king thought he may never fill the void, he met his future queen. She was fiery like himself, possessing all the characteristics he possessed that made him an excellent king. Her intelligence and warmth was only exceeded by her self confidence and grace. Everyone adored her, including the king.

2 of Cups
The king felt a strange sensation welling up inside... not like the attractions he had felt sooo many times before. This was completely different. As their eyes met, their hearts melded. The union of their souls was felt across the heavens. The bonding of their souls was complete as they professed their undying love and loyalty for each other.


Sun
The sun shone down upon them and all the kingdoms across the lands. The kings’ vitality had been restored along with a renewed sense of courage and confidence. Joy filled their hearts and the hearts of all the people. The king reveled in the clarity of the vision. He had filled the void. His faith in himself was recovered.

Devil
But with the kings renewed courage and vitality the need to have the comforts and acclaim he once knew began to stir. How easy it would be to go back and pick up where he left off. Or would it? The queen being as ambitious and well loved in her own kingdom refused his offer of riches and comforts. She wanted them to start new, build a kingdom of their own. The king was torn by the bonds that held him to his materialistic dream. But this new found inspiration would be exactly what it took to break free of those chains.

10 of Cups
The king did not give in this time to the temptations, but instead chose to live happily with his new found queen. Together they would build a family and kingdom. That would be his new adventure.

   

Wow, Sead, aren't you a natural! You just left me open mouthed

That was a real lesson in story making. You must be an amazing Tarot reader (and entertainer, all in one).

I hope to see more of it in the days to come. What an addition to the board you make!  

Cheers!
