#235 Tarot and Journaling: A Simple Grief Ritual for Everyday Life

In this episode I’m sharing one of my favourite quiet practices: using tarot as a companion for journaling, especially through grief and times of transition.

This is not about reading the cards correctly or having the right tools. It’s about giving yourself a gentle structure for self-reflection, a way to move past the blank page, and permission to make your inner life feel beautiful and worth documenting.

What I cover:

  • Why journaling with tarot doesn’t have to be daily, elaborate, or precious and how simplicity is actually the whole point
  • How to create a dedicated writing space that makes showing up feel easy
  • Simple habits that make journaling richer: dating your pages, adding stickers and images, romanticizing the ordinary details of your life
  • How I use a single drawn card as a writing prompt, including a short body-based meditation for going deeper with the card’s energy

Hi, I’m Yarrow

I’m a writer, grief companion and tarot reader living on the East coast of Scotland. 

I facilitate creative projects and gentle rituals for seasons of loss, make handmade textile magic and host the Grief Glimmers podcast. My wish is to change the culture around grief and death so that we can explore these experiences as gateways into a softer, more embodied life.
