welcome to Typewriter Tarot
Community & Sanctuary for Creative Spirits
Our mission is to help more people live creative and magical lives — in alignment with their personal values and aspirations, with a sense of play, freedom, and connection with the world and its mysteries!
Because it’s a difficult (but beautiful) world we live in — global systems of oppression continue to hoard power and consume everything in their path, eating away at our collective spirit and our sense of what’s possible. To survive, we are taught to forget our magic, and misuse and abuse our creativity, time, and energy.
That’s why we turn to ancient artforms — Tarot and divination, ritual, and nature-based practices — to reclaim what has always been ours, from the very beginning: creativity, magic, and community.
Typewriter Tarot is a space where Creative Spirits can find refuge, kinship, and guidance, where they can feel seen in their weirdness and complexity. This work is designed to help you build a beautiful relationship with creativity, unleash your magic, and cultivate a life that feels meaningful, true, and connected.
Typewriter Tarot’s work is rooted in the belief that:
Transformation is an ever-present force we can use in our favor. Change is hard and scary, but it’s a fact of life we can’t ignore. Will we attach ourselves to the way things used to be, the way they are now, or the way we want them to be? Or will we cultivate presence and awareness around change, be witness to it, and draw out its lessons, magic, and medicine?
Self-knowledge is the most powerful force available to us. Social and economic systems profit from our disassociation, disconnection, and disembodiment. (Re)discovering who we are and reclaiming the many facets of ourselves is how we learn what we want, need, and deserve. The greater our self-knowledge, the more powerful our magic.
Creativity is a spiritual energy. Creativity is not an attribute we possess or lack. It’s a force that courses through the Universe. It brought life to this planet and stars to the heavens. It propels our sense of play, discovery, and joy. We each get to design our own relationship to creativity, one that’s centered in our values (not the values of toxic systems)!
Anyone and everyone can make magic. Magic is a practice of co-creation with the Universe, and we all get to participate. Making magic requires clear intention, ritualized and symbolic action, and collaboration with the invisible forces of creation. Magic comes in every size and shape, and you get to choose what it looks like for you.
Hi, I’m Cecily!
I’m so glad you found your way here. I created Typewriter Tarot in 2017, after a major life overhaul. The transformation I went through and the people who helped me get there ignited a desire to pass on and share something like the support, healing, and inspiration I received in my own journey reclaiming myself.
One of the gifts I was given over and over (and still continue to receive) is that of story. Stories give us examples of what’s possible and what it can look like to overcome and become. Stories help us feel connected to one another, less alone. And they inspire us to move through life with an evolving awareness.
When Tarot crash-landed (beautifully!) into my life, I was introduced to the most magical storytelling device I’d ever encountered. And Typewriter Tarot was born.
Since then, I’ve been nurturing this project, experimenting, creating, shaping, and putting it out into the world. My hope is that Typewriter Tarot plays a role in nurturing and supporting the creative and magical journeys of so many Creative Spirits wandering the Earth today and in the future.
Maybe you’re one of them? If so, it’s very nice to welcome you here! I hope you find something that supports and inspires you. Feel free to reach out, and let me know a little bit about you and what brought you here.

Grow your witchy library!
One small (and fun!) way to support Typewriter Tarot’s work is to explore the collections of books and Tarot decks we’ve curated inside our virtual store at Bookshop.org. You’ll find books on witchcraft and folklore, Tarot (of course!), psychology, money, ecology, and justice. We’re adding new titles and growing our collections all the time.
If you’re looking for your next juicy read, or seeking a perfect gift for a creative and magical friend, take a stroll amongst our online shelves! Typewriter Tarot earns 10 percent of every purchase made in our store, and Bookshop.org uses a portion of its profits to support independent bookstores across the U.S.
We want to live in a world where more dollars flow toward entrepreneurial witches, creatives, and bookstore owners. Maybe you do too! Have a look around! Let me know if you can’t find what you’re looking for!
It’s our responsibility…
Our collective liberation is a personal responsibility. No singular person can take this upon themselves, but we can all play our part. Capitalism is a toxic and traumatizing system that is nearly impossible to escape. All of us have no choice but to participate in this system if we want to survive. Even so, we can utilize our creativity, magic, resources, and communities to steer the boat toward abundance, wellness, justice, and possibility.
I strive to steward my business in this spirit. One way I do this is through recurring profit redistributions to social justice, environmental, and artistic organizations. When you support our work with your dollars, 6 to 12 percent of our income is redistributed to folks who are doing great work to build a better world. You can see our distribution record here.
