Tarot journaling (I never know whether to spell journalling with one ‘L’ or two – it seems to go either way) is a very good way to study a deck, improve your reading and sharpen your intuition. It seems that many people are unsure how to begin their tarot journal. Do you use a blank book purchased for the job? Is it okay to create a digital journal because you type faster than you write? Should you draw a random card every day? Every week? Maybe you are supposed to work your way through the deck beginning with the Fool?
In fact any of those options are fine – it depends how you work best. To help you get going I’ve created a bunch of tarot journal templates, complete with prompts and quotes. It’s completely free to download for your personal use. You can print the whole thing out (81 pages) and write on it, save it to your computer, copy selected sections that resonate with you or just use it as a jump-off point for your own ideas.
Go to the Tarot Journal Template download page. You’ll find the link at the bottom. You can also get to it directly from the tabs at the top of any page.
Let me know if you have any questions… and do tell us if the pages are useful to you.
I love your blog and tarot study. I am always struck by the artwork of a particular card shown on your site. This card features a woman and baby in a peapod? I would appreciate if you could name the artist and deck for me! I love your intuitive and personal style of reading and interpreting and always look forward to your posts. Thank you! Eileen
Hello Eileen, lovely to meet you.
That card is the Ace of Wands from the Deviant Moon by Patrick Valenza. It’s a strange deck and people either love it or hate it. I don’t use for readings, not face-to-face anyway but there’s a lot of symbolism and many hints toward the darker nature of life.
Thank you so much for your lovely words – you make me want to post more often!
