I just submitted my proposal to teach a wizarding class at Aeternitas... fingers crossed that they take it. I didn't realize the deadline was Saturday--somehow I had it in my head it was today, after Arisia.

I wasn't sure whether to submit it as a wizarding class or as a regular writers workshop, because it could work for either, but here's what I proposed:

Tarot As Divinatory Storytelling
Poetry and storytelling are important skills in the wizarding world. From the Sorting Hat's song to the Tales of Beedle the Bard, we see how the craft of writing encapsulates our past and creates our future. In this class we will explore the Tarot as a writing tool, as a method for divining what lies within. No prior knowledge of the Tarot is necessary for this class, though those experienced with the cards will also find plenty to engage them here. All aspiring poets, bards, storytellers and writers as well as oracles are welcome to learn the magic behind using the archetypes in the Tarot as a means to channel character, plot, conflict, resolution, and theme. Please bring a deck if you have a favorite.
