I’m currently reading Corrine Kenner’s “Tarot Journaling” again. I read this book about a year or so ago but I wasn’t as passionate about Tarot as I’ve become now – perhaps the book came a bit too early for me 
Anyway, I’m enjoying it much more now and each page seems to contain a tip that makes me think “oh, I should try that” or “i need to remember that”.
In the beginning of the book, Kenner talks about the different kinds of Tarot journals you can keep, some of which I’m already doing! Here are the ways I currently document my Tarot experience:
- Reading record – I keep a little black unlined book in my Tarot bag for recording readings when I’m not near a computer. This includes readings for myself and others. In this notebook I can jot down the cards in the spread to re-create for later study as well as any other pertinent information or intuitions I have at the time.
- Card interpretation notebook – This notebook is a lined Moleskine notebook that is very durable and easy to carry around. I have a page dedicated to each card and include pieces of Tarot info that I’ll want to reference again and again, like spread layouts. For me this is a kind of Book of Shadows of Tarot, because it’s a compendium of my understanding of the Tarot and is my number one reference for card info.
- Workbook – That would be this blog! A place for working through Tarot exercises or writing about Tarot classes and meetups (which I’m attending soon) – this blog allows me to to see where I’ve been and where I’m at. I also have a physical notebook I use a Moleskine for recording personal spellwork, which I could also contribute Tarot work entries.
- Artist’s Journal – this was my favorite recommendation, probably because I hadn’t really considered it till now! Use a sketchbook to illustrate cards, collage images that remind of you a card, etc. Not only will this deepen my Tarot connection but will also bring out my creative side too!
I hope if you’re into writing or into Tarot you’ll pick up “Tarot Journaling” and get inspired!
