character archetypes

Unlock character arcs with the archetypes of the tarot

This week’s post at The Writes of Fiction explores a topic I’ve been exploring from a writer and book coach’s point of view for some time now: the archetypal world of tarot.

While I don’t claim any prophetic abilities (and most tarot practitioners would say the same), I’ve discovered that tarot archetypes offer a fascinating lens through which to develop a character. Similar to astrological insights, these archetypes are broad enough to allow us to recognize patterns and influences.

If these patterns and personality types seem familiar, you’re spot on—that’s the power of archetypes. So why not harness this power to elevate your novel writing?
