Creativity is a magical, mystical thing…
It’s an energy vibrating all around you (right now!). It’s a whisper (or a shout!) bearing visions, ideas, stories, and quests. Creativity asks us to take risks, to devote ourselves to something. In return, it gives us art, music, memory, and meaning. Creativity reminds us what it means to be human. It invites us to become The Magician.
But embracing Creativity in whatever-hopefully-late-stage-of-capitalism-this-is during a climate crisis while trying to make money and care for the people you love is hard. It doesn’t help that we’re fed tons of lies about Creativity — from parents, teachers, bosses, even friends. We’re taught Creativity is valuable only when it’s profitable, successful, and grabs attention. But that’s a big, fat lie. One that benefits Capitalism, not the Artist. (Hang out with me, and I talk a lot about this!)
If it feels challenging to create as much as you want, in the way you want… If you feel out of touch with your creativity and you’re tired of being estranged… If there’s pain and strain in your creative process… it makes sense. I see it all the time, and I’ve been there too. But we can find our way back. And the journey home can be magical, remarkable, and totally enchanting.

Hi, I’m Cecily!
My mission is to help Creative Mystics heal and reimagine their relationship to Creativity and Magic. If you’re stuck, blocked, discouraged, angry, or sad about your current relationship with Creativity, just know, first of all, that’s all incredibly normal (unfortunately)! But also very transform-able!
You might be wondering what does Tarot has to do with all this. Well, after a big transformation in my life (involving booze and a big moment of surrender), Tarot popped in and showed me how much it has to offer creative types like us (and those with mystical proclivities). Tarot is a creative and intuitive practice. Each card, in itself, is a work of art. Reading cards is an invitation to make and tell stories. Tarot helps us generate ideas, find new pathways, and see the larger vision — as well as what’s standing in our way.
Since I started Typewriter Tarot in 2017, I’ve helped hundreds of people rebuild their relationship with Creativity without the toxic sludge of extraction, perfectionism, and myths of productivity. My clients have revived and completed stagnant projects, started Substack newsletters, continued their creative journeys in sustainable and magical ways, and refined their creative businesses so they feel more supported and connected to their practice, their community, and the resources they need to keep going.
Along the way, I’ve given thousands of Tarot readings and taught dozens and dozens of workshops on Tarot, writing, and creativity. I’ve published a gorgeous Tarot workbook centered on journaling and creativity. Through this work, I pulled myself out of the 9-to-5 world and built a creative livelihood that fits beautifully with who I am, where I’ve been, and how I want to help the world.

Here’s a few ways I can help!
If you’re wondering whether I’m the right Creative Witch for you, sign up for my newsletter below. Right after, I’ll send you three journaling prompts from my workbook Tarot for Creative Spirits: A Journey of Self-Discovery through Tarot. You can also check out my podcast, Your Creative & Magical Life (on all the platforms), where I explore Tarot’s archetypes with creative folks who share their struggles, triumphs, and magic.

Or maybe you’re ready for more! Let’s spend an hour together exploring where you are and where you want to be. We’ll peer into the mirror of Tarot to discover guideposts and pathways for direction, clarity, and opportunity. Bring your nitty-gritty questions too, like how to claim creative space for yourself, or how to give a character in your work more direction and oomph. Book a Tarot reading here.

We create the future.
I believe in wealth-sharing and reparations. My white ancestors took part in colonization, and I inherited their legacy. While some of my ancestors resisted the worst parts of the social order of their day, some supported and upheld it. I have the opportunity to be a future ancestor who resisted, who looked for different ways of relating to fellow humans and the natural world that sustains us.
I also believe that practicing magic comes with a responsibility to the collective. I grow and heal on a personal level so I can show up in bigger and better ways for my communities. I help others grow and heal so they can impact their communities. And I share my earnings to support conservation efforts, social justice movements, and access to creative learning opportunities. Between 6 and 12 percent of Typewriter Tarot’s revenue is redistributed to people and organizations doing important work to build a better world. You can see Typewriter Tarot’s redistribution record here.
