tarot readings Reading

Based on the premise that fortune telling is a spontaneous narrative exercise, this

paper proposes that the deck is a marvelously intricate and finely tooled

mechanism for generating innumerable, remarkably coherent stories in the archetypal

mode. It explains the organization of the tarot readings deck, the 78 cards and their

meanings, and the symbolism attached to individual cards and groups of cards. The

paper also shows how the basic elements of narrative–plot, character, setting or

situation, style, symbolism, and theme–are all inherent in and arise from the

structure of a reading. The conclusion of the paper relates how tarot readings reading

has been used successfully as an instructional technique, one that shows writing

students the ways in which basic narrative elements can be combined and recombined

in myriads of ways to create stories. Illustrations of selected cards are

helpfull.
