Writing is a form of magic, which is why we call it spelling! And a journal can act as a portal to your soul, which is why I’ve been kind of obsessed with Tarot journalling ever since I got my first Tarot deck.
Below, I share my 7 favourite Tarot journal prompts – the ones I’ve come back to again and again over the years. But before you dive in, create a delicious journalling space for yourself – light a candle, make a hot drink and put on some mystical music and get comfy. All you really need is a notebook, pen and Tarot deck but setting the scene can really spice up your journalling experience!
***And if you enjoy these prompts, make sure you check out my upcoming Tarot Journal Jam Sessions (which start on Oct 20th!!!)***
Ready? Let’s do it….
Journal Prompt #1: What are you finally ready to release or transform?
Write about it in your journal and explore why now is the right time to do this and what your life will look like once you’ve let go of this thing. THEN, draw a Tarot card. This card will give insight into how you can begin to release what you want to.
Journal Prompt #2: What are some new ideas, interests or desires you’ve had?
These things may be guiding you on the next steps to take in your life. Write each of them down and then draw a Tarot card for each thing – this is your deck’s way of telling you what it thinks of each thing and what role it might play in your life right now.
Journal Prompt #3: What area of your life needs some special care and healing?
Draw a card and journal about it:
♥ What area do you think it represents?
♥ What is the first thing you notice on the card?
♥ How might that relate to this particular area?
Journal Prompt #4: What is your life’s purpose at this time?
Draw 3 cards. This will provide insight into where you should be putting most of your focus right now.
Spend some time writing about each card:
♥ How does it relate to your life at this time?
♥ Are any specific actions or goals suggested by the card?
Journal Prompt #5: Ask a question that’s been on your mind lately…
Now BEFORE you draw any tarot cards, allow your Soul / Higher Self to answer you – write freely for 5 min and then draw a card. This card will add insight and direction to what you have already written, like your Tarot deck is chiming in to add onto what you’ve already come up with on your own.
Journal Prompt #6: What is your LEAST favourite Tarot card?
This card may represent aspects of yourself that you dislike, aspects of life that you struggle to understand or an experience you haven’t fully integrated yet.
♥ What to do dislike about this card?
♥ How is it showing up in your life at this time?
♥ How has it shown up in the past?
Journal Prompt #7: What is your absolute FAVOURITE Tarot card? The one you always get super excited to see in a reading?
This card represents your values, ideals and the things your drawn to.
♥ What do you love about this card?
♥ What parts of yourself does it represent?
♥ How is it showing up in your life right now?
