Thank You for Exploring Setting with Tarot with Me

Exploration of setting for each tarot card has come to an end for Tuesdays.

The first post for this series was on March 24, 2020. It’s been a long journey, one that I wasn’t quite sure how to begin at first and wasn’t sure if I could finish. Yet, here we are!

I hope you have enjoyed this series and have found it as useful as I have in this learning process. I also hope that the writing prompts provided improved the context and meaning of the tarot cards for you.

If you have followed this series throughout its entirety, you have my deepest gratitude. By now you have a list of the timings provided by this site, along with lots of practice in how to use the images of the cards to create a physical location for your story.

It is my intent to continue to run other tarot themed series, but for now I will close this post with a quick reference table of the times and places mentioned in this run.

Again, thank you so much for participating!
