I kind of liked this clip of a tarot reading on The Young and the Restless. I don’t know who these people are, but they’ve got … secrets.
It looks like they’re using the Enchanted Tarot by Amy Zerner and Monte Farber.

NaNoWriMo Planning Tip #1: Pick a Protagonist
I’m posting NaNoWriMo planning tips this month on the Tarot for Writers Meetup site. Here’s the first tip:
Every story needs a hero, and you can find your protagonist in a deck of tarot cards. Simply shuffle your deck and pull a card at random.
While it’s unlikely, the card you pull might not feature a man or a woman. Be open to unexpected or unconventional heroes: you might be called upon to write about a child, for example, or an animal. You might also be drawn to a symbol in the card. That’s okay: you can personify it.
Spend some time thinking about the protagonist you find in the cards. Make a few notes. Develop a character sketch, and see how much you can discover about your hero simply by studying his or her image.
