The World

I'm going to be posting daily prompts to inspire writing, art or journaling. Use these as you would like to help keep your creative practices moving.

Key words/ideas:

• fulfilment, triumph and catharsis

• mastery

• connecting to the greater whole and unity

• the world is your oyster

• ends and beginnings

Some thoughts that occur to me:

• This is the card of the disciple become the master. Pick an example (yours or someone else’s) and try to reverse the character roles. How would the story change?

• A character becomes part of a group mind by accident.

• Authors such as Brecht believed a text should not provide passive catharsis, but should instead induce a reader to act. Take an idea (or a classic) and rework it with this in mind.

Note that cards are drawn at random and may be drawn more than once. In that case I will repost with an additional idea. I am going to cap the number of repeats at 3 until I’ve been through the whole deck, but other than this I let the luck of the draw decide. Coming up with more ideas for the same card will force me to be more imaginative and its something I strongly recommend.
