- keep going when everything feels impossible
This is the “inner journey” tool that writers never knew they needed.
What it does
Provides celestial guidance on:
- the odyssey of writing & editing
- pitching prospects & angles
- intuitive timing & next steps
- fresh marketing ideas
- publicity ecstasy & exhaustion
- financial rewards
- embracing serenity
The first of its kind—a tarot card deck experience catered to writers and authors.
Who it’s for (and why it helps)
For writers who sometimes need a little help trusting the next step.
This deck is for you if:
- you’re navigating the long middle of writing or revision
- you’re preparing to submit, publish, or relaunch your work
- you’ve been discouraged, uncertain, or quietly overwhelmed
- you want guidance that’s intuitive and grounded in real publishing experience
It’s especially for writers who already know the rules—but want help deciding when to push, pause, or protect their energy.
What it is (and what it isn’t)
This Deck is not more work, it is a break from the work. A deep breath. Some confirmation. A way to move forward.
This Deck is not a workbook or a class or a step-by-step or a blueprint or an outline. It is the magic between the words, the motivation between the pitches, the spark which inspires the art.
What it will do is:
- help you see your situation more clearly
- offer perspective when emotions run high
- remind you of your patience and strength
- tap into your intuition to gain insight
Think of it as a creative companion—one that meets you where you are and helps you move forward with intention.
Q&A
Is this “just” a Tarot Deck?
The cards, guidance, messages and rituals were created uniquely for writers at each stage of writing, editing, finding a publisher, marketing, and maintaining their emotional well-being.
But essentially—Yes! The deck uses archetypes from Tarot as a framework, and uses the four elements to align with traditional Tarot suits.
What inspired the Deck?
The Publishing Witch has been an independent publisher since 1998. She knows how hard this journey is for writers and offers her unique perspective—combined with a passion for rituals, the power of journaling, and the awesomeness of the Universe’s ability to deliver the right messages when needed.
Should writers invest time and energy into their emotional well-being?
YES! Writers will invest in every stage of the process—from the first round of editing to the last hurrah of publicists—but ignore the most essential investment: in their own psyche.
Are you feeling burnout, exhaustion, overwhelm? A grounding ritual can help you:
- tap into your intuition & energy
- trust yourself
- discover synchronicities leading to your success
You, your writing, your pitches…will all emit and attract the energy of your attitude.
Make it your favorite writer’s ritual.
