The quest: A tarot spread

Creating characters with tarot cards

Girl against razor wireCreating characters? The Sceptic's Tarot encourages using tarot cards for creative writing. The cards are absolutely suitable for the job!

Delve around the internal world of the character with this spread.

Cards 1-12 are indicated next to the row of cards.

Card 12 concerns the character's primary approach to relationships. Then, each character is described (Ac, Bc), and their interaction (Ai, Bi) is explored. Add a card for each character you want to examine.

So here it is!
