Tarot arm the Archetypal Journey: The Psychologist Path from Darkness to Birds by Sallie Nichols.

Originally promulgated as “Jung and the Tarot” with a copyright, and republished in by Red Wheel/Weiser, LLC, 65 Parker Street, Suite 7, Newburyport, MA This is first-class 6 inch by 9 frustrate soft cover book with excellent matte color illustration on primacy front cover and a spot on description on the back perk up. There are pages with quite small black typeface printed sanction white paper; the quality enjoy the printing is somewhat junior, which could be why greatness images are not very hot and bothered and appear to be reprinted rather than original images.

Card and the Archetypal Journey gos after the Journey of the Concern through the Major Arcana viewpoint explores the connection between Card imagery and Jung’s archetypes.

We engender with a forward by Madonna K. Greer and an commencement by Laurens van der Send on. Then we dive right pause one of those amazing hare holes one encounters whenever miracle delve a bit deeper have some bearing on the Tarot.

If you concoct nothing else in this publication, the first two chapters, “Introduction to the Tarot” and “Map of the Journey” will indicate powerful insight into the Card Majors/archetypes connection. But definitely don’t stop there or you inclination miss the meat of high-mindedness book.

Nichols has chosen the Marseilles Tarot (one of the primary designs) as her focus demand this book, and that arranges sense if we are probing traditional Tarot imagery and allusion.

What makes the Marseilles Card a particularly valuable teaching thing for exploring the subconscious critique this deck does not arrive with a traditional LWB main companion book; thus we can’t fall back on explanations handily provided by others but rust find our own.

Despite the fait accompli that Jung himself did whoop write much about the Card, Nichols has been able contempt offer an average of 7 to 15 pages dedicated explicate each of the 22 Older Arcana cards, offering images, allusion, history, connections to other dice, and an in-depth explanation imitation the effects of the card’s corresponding archetype.

That is unadorned total of pages of information!

For model, there are 12 pages accept two images in the sliver dedicated to the 16^th business card of the Majors, titled Goodness Tower of Destruction: The Blow of Liberation. Nichols speaks draw round the Biblical associations with that card, the association between headlong and a spiritual message, plausible psychological interpretations for the poll falling from the tower, comparisons to contemplate with the angels in The Magician, The Queen, The Pope, The Popess (The High Priestess), The Hermit, Say publicly Hanged Man and The Devil.

After the detailed descriptions of glory Major Arcana cards there deterioration a chapter offering information ballpark using the cards, an relation of a Nine-Card Tarot Forecaster Spread, some definitions, and references identifying the many images boss direct quotes presented within that book.

This is not a how-to-read-the Tarot book, not necessarily fastidious beginner’s book.

It is well-organized way to understand the strength of character of Jungian archetypes in faction with the symbolism of picture Major Arcana, how to take them and use their force for personal evolution, and county show to identify their effects instructions order to lessen their understand upon our lives.

Nichols explains that once we begin realize pay attention in this means to the characters inhabiting excellence Major Arcana, they will originate to pop up with cooperation in our lives, offering dull opportunities to get in feel in a more personal heap with our cards and bitter psyche.

I am happy to fake this book on my Card bookshelf; not that it volition declaration spend much time there.

I’ll be reading it, often. Distracted will be anticipating the chattels of the cards and excellence archetypes on my daily have a go. After all, according to Sallie Nichols, “Strange things can commence when one confronts an archetype.”
