The Jungian Tarot

What is the Jungian Tarot?

The Jungian Tarot is a visual expression of Jungian philosophies and symbols of transformation. The Tarot is a methodology to release unknown or forsaken aspects of the subconscious. It is a way for your subconscious to connect with other dimensions, hidden things within your realm, the shadow, etc.

The majors and court cards are detailed and full of clear symbolism, while the minors are more akin to pip cards. All cards are without titling or numbering.

C.G. Jung

A Swiss psychiatrist and student of Freud who later split from his mentor over irreconcilable philosophical differences, Carl Jung is a deep and complicated character. Carl Jung described the concepts of archetypes, synchronicities, and “shadow work” so predominant in our culture. Dream analysis was essential to Jung.

In addition to identifying introversion and extraversion, Jung identified 4 key psychological factors: perceptional functions, sensation or intuition, and the rational functions, thinking or feeling. These concepts were used in developing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, a popular psychological questionnaire (Sommers-Flanigan J. and Sommers-Flanigan, R., 2018).
