I recently did a project trying to express something about my creative life through the mediums I loved best – poetry and photography.   I came up with the idea of doing a deck of cards that could be used as a sort of writing prompt tarot, with two aspects of a creative trait back to back on each “card.”

Try it out – Pick one and give yourself 5 minutes of quick write time on that theme, image, or the impression the card gives you.

Let me know how you used them in the comments section!
