If you’re like me, you’ve got a ton o’ books laying around. And I ain’t just talking about tarot books either. Fiction, biographies, self help…you probably have your pick of diverse subjects, right?

Grab the book nearest to you (come on…I KNOW there is one by your side at all times unless you’re one of those people who don’t read or keep books in your house). Open it to a random page and read the first sentence.

Now, pick a tarot card to represent that line. Ta-da! Wasn’t that fun (not to mention a great way to flex your tarot muscles!)?

Here’s an example:

Book: Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott

Page: 93

Line: How do you know when you’re done?

Card: The World (completion)

Let’s do it again!

Book: The Freelancer’s Bible by Sara Horowitz

Page: 286

Line: Make sure you trust anyone you barter with.

Card: 7 of Swords (cunning, theft, rip off)

Okay – your turn. Grab some books and get your tarot on!
