Foreword
Welcome to Tarot for Creatives, a book featuring twenty-one tarot spreads to get writers and other creatives back on track and in touch with their muses.
Tarot for Creatives: 21 Tarot Spreads to (Re)Connect to Your Intuition and Ignite that Creative Spark includes spreads about various topics, such as limiting beliefs, creative roadblocks, nurturing the muse, which direction to take, your soul’s calling, which project to prioritise, and many more. Tarot for Creatives is for every creative entrepreneur looking to connect to their intuition for guidance on their creative path.
Although I dubbed these spreads tarot spreads, there is no reason why you couldn’t or shouldn’t use any other means of divination to answer the questions included. Pick your favourite oracle deck or set of angel cards (I have relied on both when using the spreads in this book), use your crystals or your runes. Whatever speaks to you, go with that. If you want to mix it up as you read, please feel the freedom to do just that.
Introduction
For me, reading cards is less about divination—looking into the future—than it is about (re)connecting to my intuition. That is not to say I never ask questions about the future, because I do. I own tarot, oracle, and angel cards and, when appropriate, I’ll ask them anything. From the most probably outcome if I head this or that direction, to what a particular project might bring me.
Nevertheless, I prefer using my cards to understand what is going on right now. What could I be doing right now (to get where I want to be or to make the best out of a situation)? What do I need to know about the situation I am in right now (before I proceed or move on altogether)? In other words, I tend to use my cards to become mindful of the moment and tune in with my gut.
We already know everything there is to know, especially when it comes to the moment we’re currently in. We just tend to forget that we do. Most of us have learned to disregard our intuition from a very young age onwards. Not just by our parents, our teachers, and our peers. Many societies aren’t that accommodating to those who would like to take the time to sit with themselves and unlearn what they are told so that they can return to what they always already knew. Frankly, most societies thrive because we are so disconnected from our intuitions. The world would not look the way it does now if we were all aligned with our guts and acted on it.
Our creative well is literally located in our gut, yet so many of my creative clients are far removed from their intuitions. It might seem contradictory, but it isn’t. That we’ve learned to disregard and disconnect from our intuitions doesn’t mean none of the messages ever gets through. They do. It’s just that they are the kind of messages we have learnt to second-guess, since they don’t often come with a rational explanation. This is why, in our attempt to rationalise whatever it is we’re feeling or knowing, most of us end up ignoring our inner wisdom and that creative spark that comes from the exact same source.
When you suppress and deny your intuition and creative impulse for years on end, it becomes harder and harder to tune back in consciously. I use consciously here because, as I addressed in the previous paragraph, we are never entirely cut off from our intuition. It will continue to speak to us, and the worse listeners we become, the louder it will scream. By that time, however, we might have convinced ourselves that it’s the exact voice we should be ignoring, instead of leaning into.
That’s where, for me, the cards come in. My cards hardly ever tell me something I wasn’t already aware of on some level. (If they do, in hindsight it was because I wasn’t ready to remember that part yet, or I was too stubborn to hear the message.) But, what my cards will provide me with is an answer to the following question: which of the different messages I’m hearing in my head is my own? They help me differentiate between what I think I know—because I was told to believe it by others—and what I actually know deep inside. Cards, and the same goes for other methods of divination, are a tool to bypass the ego and everything else that stands between you and your inner voice.
It is for this purpose that Tarot for Creatives was created: to help artists, whether they write, paint, knit, quilt, mosaic, draw, tattoo, sculpt, take pictures, and so on, (re)connect to their intuition when faced with creative struggles. Whether you’re battling limiting beliefs, are trying to figure out your creative strengths and weaknesses, lost your groove, are fighting with your project, or are missing your muse, this book will provide you with the right spread to tune back in with your own voice.
As I already mentioned in the foreword, I strongly encourage you to use whatever feels right to you in any given moment, whether that means using the tarot, oracle or angel cards, runes, crystals, a combination of all of the above, or something else altogether. If you need to reformulate a question or put the cards in a different order, please do. These spreads have only one intention and that is to set you free. Please don’t let yourself be limited by them in any way.
