Tarot Journaling - What Sparkles This

I've been inspired by the sharing about tarot journaling on the Tarot Professionals, especially the free tarot journaling template given by Corrine Kenner's website at www.CorrineKenner.com.  I truly think it was very generous of her to share that awesome journaling template that is so specific for tarot journaling.


As I google for more tarot prompts, I realized that these tarot prompts are all over the place, instead of being collected at one specific website.  I guess there must be books available specifically for tarot journaling, including these references:



Tarot for Your Self : A Workbook for Personal Transformation Second Edition by Mary K. Greer – Originally published in 1984, this classic is the first book to explore and promote the concept of reading the cards for personal insight with detailed instructions how to do so. Mary K. Greer is a Tarot Grandmaster and is a well-known author in the Tarot world.
Tarot Journaling: Using the Celtic Cross to Unveil Your Hidden Story by Corrine Kenner – Tarot Journaling covers everything needed to create, keep, and preserve a personal tarot journal.
Tarot for Writers by Corrine Kenner - "This book on reading tarot cards and applying them to your writing will guide you through each stage of the creative process, from fleshing out a premise to promoting a finished work. Enhance your storytelling technique through over 500 enjoyable writing prompts, exploratory games for groups and individuals, tarot journaling, and other idea-stimulating activities that call upon the archetypal imagery and multi-layered symbolism in the tarot."




As my bag is often too big and heavy, carrying another journal is out of the question.  Furthermore, I prefer typing to writing, even as a teens.  Having tried using the conventional journal books and failed ever so often, I think, blogging will be more of my style.  I love showing the card that I'm journaling about too.  The only problem is consistency.  I guess I need to be more self-disciplined and make it a daily routine to journal about my tarot cards.


To make this blogging meaningful, I'm going to try using a different tarot journal prompt each time.  Hopefully, I can collect enough tarot journal prompts to even publish a book one day to help others who would like to journal but have run out of ideas about what to write.


I do have to include a disclaimer here, that I do not invent all these writing prompts from nowhere.  They are prompts that I have improvised from any writing prompts that I can find.  I will include the source of the prompt if they are copied from somewhere because I believe the author should always be given the credit for coming up with anything original.


Do email me if anyone spots a prompt that you see on my blog that is a copied from another website and I'll acknowledge that.


Happy tarot journaling!


Cheerio,
New Chic Gal
