What does card reading have to do with writing?
Simple: STORYTELLING
In 2020 I became a certified Tarot and Oracle Card Reader, and I've been a Certified Reiki Master since 2010. (Before that, I was certified Levels I and II in 1997.) I'd been drawn to card reading all my life, but they didn't really make sense to me until I started working with them in a professional manner, and I was struck by how much storytelling was involved in each reading of the cards.
In addition to reading for clients, I've integrated the tarot into my writing process as well. I find that reading for characters, for plot, and even to uncover what's behind a bout of writer's block has not only enhanced my writing process, but has made it more fun.
