About

Tarot Writers is a celebration and exploration of tarot card culture, writing craft, and the writer’s life.

On the pages of this site and the companion books you will find useful, informative, inspiring guidance that will help you use tarot to serve your writing craft and your life as a writer.

Who Is Tarot Writers For?

Tarot Writers is for all writers who are interested in tarot culture.

Fiction, non-fiction, professional, hobby writer, journal writer, all types of writers writing all kinds of things will benefit from the information here.

If you’re completely new to the tarot world, then you will find heaps of useful and accessible guidance to help you get started with writing with tarot.

If you’re well familiar with tarot already, you will find discussions that will contribute to your learning of tarot.

This site is not an ultimate everything there is to know about writing or tarot or the space where they meet. Both writing and tarot are lifelong practices, always evolving and forever varying between individuals. We never stop learning to write. We never stop learning tarot. Tarot Writers has grown out of my experiences as a writer and tarot enthusiast. I’m no expert on anything, just an enthusiast having a conversation and offering up my ideas and opinions in the hope someone might find this interesting and helpful.

Please join the conversation by commenting on articles, or reaching out to me via email.

Who Am I?

My name is Kate Krake. I am a fantasy writer and have been reading tarot for about thirty years. I write fiction and non-fiction and over the decades have worn dozens of different writing hats from academic writing, music journalism, copywriting, blogging, and novelist and short fiction author.

You can read about my introduction to tarot here – An Author’s Tarot Journey.

Tarot And Spirituality

Tarot Writers takes a secular approach to tarot culture. I respect all spiritual beliefs about tarot, but my personal spirituality remains largely private and is not represented in these pages.

All work I do with Tarot Writers focuses on the cards as creative tools, symbols steeped in eons of tradition that can help us think and feel differently, often in ways we might never have before considered. Tarot is many things for many people and only you get to decide what it means to you.
