First, choose picture cards with relevant themes. For example, if it's a fairy - tale story, pick cards with castles, princesses, and magic wands. Then, arrange the cards in a sequence that makes sense for the story's plot. Start with an introduction card, like a picture of a forest where the story begins. As you go through the cards, describe what's happening in each one. For instance, if a card shows a wolf, you can say 'And then, a big bad wolf appeared in the forest.' Keep the story flowing by connecting the pictures and adding your own words to make it interesting.
The most important element is the sequence of the cards. It should follow a logical order for the story to make sense. Another element is the interpretation of the pictures. You need to be able to look at a picture and turn it into part of the story. For example, if there's a picture of a flower, you could say it was a magical flower that could talk. Also, the connection between the cards is crucial. Each card should lead smoothly to the next one in the story.
In the beach picture, there are waves crashing onto the shore. A little boy is building a sandcastle. His parents are sitting under an umbrella, reading books. There are also some shells scattered on the sand. It's a very relaxing scene.
It helps improve their imagination. As kids look at the cards and the story unfolds, they start imagining more details in their heads. For example, if a card shows a little boy standing at the edge of a forest, kids might imagine what kind of animals are in the forest or what the boy is thinking.
There is a picture on the wall. It depicts a couple kissing in the rain. This picture was taken by a passer - by. The couple had just had a big fight, but then they realized how much they loved each other. In that moment of making up, as the rain poured down, they kissed passionately. And the picture freezes that moment of love forever.
Once upon a time, there was an old, haunted house. A photographer decided to take pictures there at night. As he snapped a photo in the attic, he saw a strange figure in the viewfinder. When he developed the picture, there was a blurry white shape that looked like a woman in a long dress. He felt a chill down his spine. He later learned that a woman had died in that attic many years ago.
There was a picture in an old attic. It showed a dark forest. One night, as I stared at it, the trees in the picture started to sway. I rubbed my eyes, thinking it was a trick of the light. But then, a shadowy figure emerged from behind a tree. It was a faceless man in a tattered cloak. His hands reached out of the picture towards me, and I could feel a coldness in the air. I quickly turned the picture face - down and ran out of the attic, never to look at it again.
Colors are key. For example, warm colors like red and orange can convey passion or energy, which is part of the story. Also, the composition matters. If the main subject is in the center, it might show importance. And facial expressions, if there are people in the picture. A smile can tell a happy story.
Yes, they do. Each tarot card has its own imagery and symbolism. For example, The Fool represents new beginnings, a journey into the unknown. As you lay out the cards in a spread, they interact with each other to create a narrative. The sequence of cards can show past, present, and future events or states of being. It's like reading a storybook where the cards are the pages and the reader (the tarot reader) is the storyteller, interpreting the tale based on the cards' traditional meanings and their own intuition.
You can start by choosing cards with interesting images or symbols. Then, let your imagination flow and create a narrative based on what you see. It's all about creativity and having fun!
