Tarot and writing

I'm working on the next chapter of "King of Swords" and thought it was about time that I went back to the very first Tarot spread that I threw for Hermione before writing this story.  This spread was thrown approximately 2 1/2 years ago just as I was starting this story as an almost brand-new writer.  I never did write out a full interpretation of the spread, but took the story's title from the final card in the Celtic Cross, which was, of course, the King of Swords. 

I just sat down to do a more formal interpretation of the spread to be sure that I can integrate those elements back into the story.  This is 17 chapters and 30 months later.  I have chills.  I wrote the story of this spread.  The history, the core conflict, the surrounding elements and the ultimate direction--it's all there.   I have no idea how in the hell that happened.  I figured I'd at least be able to genuinely pull a few themes here and there and make it work.  Yeah, it works.

Yes, I'll be showing the spread and its interpretation in the upcoming chapters (not unlike the Ogham spread and its interpretation).  

See, now, if I can trust the unconscious this much, maybe I can write a non-fanfiction novel one day.  Maybe.

Geesh.
