Divinatory Poetics for Witchy Queers w/ Kristen E. Nelson
Thursday, Oct. 1st, 2020
6-8PM (AZ time) via Zoom

In this writing workshop we will use tarot cards and their associated divinatory wisdom as prompts for creative writing. Kristen has been studying and reading tarot for over 20 years and has been teaching divinatory poetics for six years. In this workshop, she will share generative techniques for writing from tarot and guide participants through this practice. Kristen will be using two feminist, queer tarot decks for our use in this workshop: “The Collective Tarot”, a collaboratively created, radically-politicked, queerly revisioned deck; and Daughters of the Moon, a feminist reinterpretation of the traditional Rider Waite Smith deck that celebrates queer, femme, and non-binary bodies in the illustrations. You'll want to have a pen and paper, as well as the willingness to try something new. If you have a tarot desk you work with in your own practice, feel free to bring it to workshop, but this is not necessary. No experience with divination or writing necessary. Workshop will be modified to fit an online Zoom format, so stay tuned for any updates.
