The Rainbow Quill Deck
A Writing Tool & Tarot Deck for Storytellers
A functional tarot deck, yes — but a writing tool first. Four years of distilling tarot methodology into prompts that are flexible, gender- and genre-neutral, and quick enough to keep momentum on a work in progress.
For writers, storytellers, and game runners who need a creativity boost when character sketching, drafting, or worldbuilding.
