Creative Guidance

This is where my book began

I have a soft spot in my heart for NaNoWriMo, because it prompted me to write the Tarot for Writersguidebook. In fact, the whole project started with this simple Q&A feature for the NaNoWriMo website in 2006.

Q: Corrine, as a mystic, you are writing your novel using only tarot cards to guide you. Could you tell us more about the psychic method for novel writing?

The Six of Swords

BY TAG ROUTLIFFE

One for the betrayal of their own daughter, one for vengeance undeserved, one for leading lambs to the slaughter, one for rumors spun into riot, one for behavior most unbecoming, and the last for their selfish natures.

It was a slow suicide, indeed. The removal of the swords happened as they recounted the sins that had brought them to this point. They did not hold hands or…

The Empress’ Garden

INT. EMPRESS’ GARDEN – DAY

We see the interior of a large greenhouse. Inside, there is a wide variety of flowers and trees. The structure itself is luxurious and elegant. Light streams in through the glass, illuminating the enchanting scene of fluttering, colorful butterflies, and playful little faeries. On a comfortable and cushy chair sits EMPRESS NERIAH. She is…

A 5-minute poem based on “The Magician” card from the WonderBook Tarot

The old man says, I knew you once.

The young man says, I’m you.

I travel back and forth in time

The future’s mine to view.

  But I don’t see the years to come.

If what you say is true,

I should know what tomorrow holds.

I haven’t got a clue.

  I can show you everything.

Your moments here are few.

I’ve come to take you home again.

Together we’ll be new.

Sneak Preview: The Impressionist Tarot

I’m excited about the new Impressionist Tarot that will be released this spring.

I wrote the companion guide, and the publisher just sent me a preview of the book’s layout and design. It’s gorgeous!

The talented Arturo Picca designed and painted the deck for Lo Scarabeo.

The Impressionist Tarot is a faithful homage to the masters — almost as if the Impressionists had decided to create a tarot deck together. It’s an innovative new way of looking at tarot, and it’s a revolutionary way to see your world, too.
