Based on the premise that fortune telling is a spontaneous narrative exercise, this
paper proposes that the deck is a marvelously intricate and finely tooled
mechanism for generating innumerable, remarkably coherent stories in the archetypal
mode. It explains the organization of the tarot readings deck, the 78 cards and their
meanings, and the symbolism attached to individual cards and groups of cards. The
paper also shows how the basic elements of narrative–plot, character, setting or
situation, style, symbolism, and theme–are all inherent in and arise from the
structure of a reading. The conclusion of the paper relates how tarot readings reading
has been used successfully as an instructional technique, one that shows writing
students the ways in which basic narrative elements can be combined and recombined
in myriads of ways to create stories. Illustrations of selected cards are
helpfull.
