Andrew Wille: Magicians and Fools - Tarot For Writers

The tarot is a remarkable gift for writers: a tool for creative purpose and focus, an invitation to the imagination, a prompt for accessing our unconscious drives. 

In this interactive workshop we’ll embark on writing experiments that explore the potential of the tarot, surveying the archetypes of the Major Arcana and investigating the numbers, court cards and four elements of the Minor Arcana. We’ll also discuss different styles of tarot decks and divination cards – feel free to bring your own to class. 

Beginners as well as experienced practitioners in both writing and tarot are welcome.
