Okay, so I’ve been feeling a little creatively blocked lately. You know, like when you want to make something, but your brain just goes “nope”? Yeah, that’s been me. I figured I needed a new way to spark some ideas, and I remembered seeing some really cool, artsy tarot decks. I thought, “Why not? Let’s see if this helps.”
Finding the Right Deck
First things first, I needed a deck. I didn’t want just any old tarot deck, though. I wanted something with visually striking artwork, something that would really get my imagination going. My process as below:
- I started by browsing online, checking out different art styles.
- Then, I spent a few hours searching, looking for decks that resonated with me.
- I Finally found a few that I really liked,I chose the “Mystic Mondays” deck. The colors are super vibrant, and the designs are modern and a little bit abstract.
Experimenting with the Cards
Once my deck arrived (yay!), I started playing around with it. I wasn’t trying to do any serious readings or anything. My purpose as below:
- My main goal was just to look at the cards and see what ideas popped into my head.
- I started by just shuffling the deck and pulling a few cards at random.
- I laid them out and just…stared at them,I’d think about the imagery, the colors, the symbolism.
- Sometimes I’d write down words or phrases that came to mind. Other times, I’d just let the images simmer in my brain.
From Cards to Creation
After spending some time with the cards, I started to feel those creative sparks. It was pretty cool! For example:
- One time, I pulled a card with a really strong, fiery color * made me want to try painting with some bolder colors than I usually use.
- Another time, a card with a swirling, watery design gave me an idea for a new pattern to use in a textile piece.
It wasn’t like the cards were giving me specific instructions or anything. But they were acting as a jumping-off point, a way to get my brain thinking in new directions.
My Takeaway
So, did using tarot decks for artistic inspiration work? For me, yeah, it totally did! I will keep using them.
- It’s a fun, different way to break through creative blocks.
- It’s definitely something I’ll keep doing when I need a little extra inspiration.
If you’re feeling stuck, I’d say give it a try! You might be surprised at what you come up with. Just remember to find a deck that really speaks to you visually. And don’t worry about being “good” at tarot. Just let the images inspire you!
