DISCOVERING YOURSELF THROUGH TAROT

From the editor : Beginning with the view that the archetypes central to Jungian psychological theory are reflected in the symbolism of the Tarot and the Qabalah, Discovering Your Self Through the Tarot brilliantly meshes the paths of Jungian individuation and spiritual wisdom. Preliminary chapters provide a system for evaluating the forces that are operative in your personality and determining the Court card and suit that cor­respond to your dominant personality traits. In particular, the author examines the way the Court carols of the Tarot-the Kings, Queens, Knights, and Pages (or Princesses)-in each suit represent the four functions of the Jungian system of psychological types. Highly original card spreads then enable you to focus on, and balance, specific facets of your personality, particularly that part of you which seems to oppose your nature and which is therefore either repressed or expressed negatively. Other spreads enable you to gain insight into complex and challenging personal relationships by identifying the multiple facets of the personalities and seeing how these aspects inter­act within the individuals as well as in the relationship.

A special section is devoted to using the Tarot to progress through the levels of consciousness represented by the sephiroth on the Qabalistic Tree of Life. Combining her background in Jungian psychology with extensive Tarot studies, Rose Gwain has created a unique application of the Tarot for practitioners on all levels, especially for those seeking to shift the center of the personality from the ego to the Self.
