Tarot as a Spiritual Practice
Medieval Italians, Seers, & Carl Jung:
who knew?
Pesky Archetypes
Carl Jung didn't invent archetypes. He described them in a way that brought them to the attention of doctors, scholars, and the 20th century. Really, we use them every day, for better or worse.
-
He's a Boss.
-
She's a Diva.
-
They are the Perfect Couple.
We know what is meant. But what does that have to do with Seers and Medieval Italians? They also know or knew archetypes. And those archetypes show up in your Tarot.
​
Like Soul Cards or Mandalas or Lectio Divina or any number of things we use to set our imagination loose, Tarot cards can help us focus on what is happening in our subconscious today, this week, or this season.
​
Through intuitive reflection of cards and through study of the archetypes and symbols of the cards, we can explore our own psyche. Can we tell the future? Well, I can't. But we can maybe us them to see the NOW SELF.
