New in 2016: Tarot Consult Services with Writing Prompts

from Two Feet in An Open Sky

True to my hummingbird ways and love for cross-pollinations, this year I’m expanding my teaching and editing services to include one-on-one Tarot Consults. It’s time to combine my MFA and twenty-plus years as a writing teacher and artist with my twenty-plus years of reading cards.

Though I’ll offer a general soul-focused reading to querents with a question on their minds and an affinity for working with the Tarot archetypes, I am especially in love with a new type of reading I created for A Room of Her Own Foundation’s Retreat last August titled, Tarot as Poet’s Mirror. It was my intention at the outset to read for poets, but I ended up reading not only for poets but also for writers, artists, and those who love to journal. So now I'm calling the consult: Tarot as Project Mirror with Writing Prompts.

I’m creating a page on my main website devoted to the new consults (I plan to have it up by the end of the month) but in the meantime, I wanted to announce the consults here at Feral Mom, Feral Writer. Please feel free to use the contact form on this website  (use the link beneath my "About Me" photo) if you are interested in booking a reading or if you would like more information; readings are conducted over Skype and payment made via Paypal.

Consult Fee: $60 (includes Skype session and follow-up email with a written recap of your reading). *Introductory rate good through February, as of March 1, 2016, this consult Fee: $75.

2) Tarot as Project Mirror with Writing Prompts:

This hour session focuses on a question you have regarding your project or manuscript; we address your project or manuscript using a nine card layout. I also provide a written recap of our session and a list of nine to twelve individualized writing prompts based on your cards. You bring your core question and together we look at the messages coming through the cards about possible next steps and direction for inspiration. You continue the work as you respond to the prompts after our reading at your own pace and leisure. Consult Fee: $150 (includes Skype session, set of individualized writing prompts, and a follow-up email with written recap of your reading).

You love to journal, blog, write or draw in response to prompts

Tarot Bio:

Tania Pryputniewicz has worked with the Tarot for over twenty years. Her Tarot teachers include Reverend Jacqueline of the Temple of Living Prayer and Astrologers Quan Tracey Cherry and Bonnie Orgren. While pursuing her MFA at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, Tania read cards for the Vortex Crystal and Gem Store, The Women's Center, and The Women's Music Festival in Iowa City. She also taught Beginning Tarot during that time and worked one on one with students of the Tarot, publishing "Tarot as Spiritual Midwifery" (an article celebrating the work of the late Angeles Arrien, Icon). Most recently she offered Tarot as Poet’s Mirror consults for A Room of Her Own Foundation’s Summer 2015 writing retreat for women writers. Tania’s Wheel of Archetypal Selves courses combine writing and journaling in conjunction with the study of the Minor Mentors and Major Arcana.

The black and white drawing at the top of the post dates back to graduate school/Iowa City days when I was studying Reiki and is part of a series of Reiki drawings shown at UIHC under the title, Two Feet in An Open Sky.
