Tarot As a Way of Life: A Jungian Approach to the Tarot
By
Karen Hamaker-Zondag Interest in the Tarot, both as an intriguing occult tool and a facilitator for spiritual growth and psychological exploration, has been on the upswing for the past 20 years. Acceptance of it, and feelings about it, go through phases, though.

The Tarot is both durable and controversial, and like anything described by that dubious combination, its popularity rises, crests, and falls away -- through neglect, or familiarity, or changing fads, or repression. And yet, its spark of vitality is never completely snuffed.

Students of the occult mysteries, and those with an abiding desire to know more about themselves, continue to resurrect it in their search for deeper meanings behind the oddly mundane (even comic) pictures and complex symbols. The abiding fascination is unmistakable.

Taking the Tarot to Heart
By
Mark McElroy Some people -- ok, some readers I've seen at work, sat beside at demonstrations and psychic fairs, and listened to as they explain the workings of the Tarot to "the uninitiated" -- seem absolutely captivated by the spooky potential of these 78 pieces of cardboard.

I'm sorry, but there's a feeling of "showmanship" in that behavior -- the same kind that surrounds magicians of every stripe -- all the way from David Copperfield in the performance of his wonderful magic to the cheesy carnival performer pulling fake flowers out of a top hat.

They're putting on a show -- and there's a tongue-in-cheek cynicism, a not-quite-concealed smirk behind their performance. If you're a mark who can be drawn in and impressed with that kind of skit -- well, I suppose it's a free country.

Clients Aren't the Only Ones with Questions
When Clients Hand ME
a Learning Experience

Life is full of questions. And people love to give and listen to advice. "How would you handle this?" can be both a plea for sympathy and a request for insight. Maybe in equal measures. Hearing someone advise us to follow a course that is already our instinct -- or our deepest desire in welcoming an opportunity -- or our judgment about what inevitably needs to happen in order to deal with a problem is reassuring.

Tarot Plain & Simple
By
Anthony Louis There's kind of an old half-joke philosophical saying that states ... sometimes getting the right answer means asking the right question. That's true in life and it's doubly true in working with the Tarot.

A Tarot reading is a reflection of life, a tool for handling life, a living breathing instrument that thrives on the energy of life, and if you treat it with respect, and communicate with it as it is best designed to understand ... and answer back, the Tarot can be as reliable and intelligent a counselor as any human friend.

Rachel Pollack's Tarot Wisdom: Spiritual Teachings and Deeper Meanings
By
Rachel Pollack The Duchess of Windsor wrote a book titled "The Heart Has Its Reasons." The cynic in me looks at that statement coming from that woman with that history and thinks, "Yeah ... right." But then I try to remind myself that even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

What does this have to do with Tarot? A lot actually. Heart issues not only have a strong influence on the interpretation of a Tarot reading, they are often the reason behind someone seeking a Tarot reading in the first place.

Our culture may put unnatural emphasis on the "virtues" of logic, reason, analysis and all other hallmarks of left brain experience, but heart issues, intuition, emotion, and feelings -- the fabulous and rich territory of the right brain -- is the territory of Tarot. It's also the motive behind most of our life's big questions: Where to live ... who to marry ... how to find and fulfill our life's mission.

Spiritual Tarot: Seventy-Eight Paths to Personal Development
By
Signe E. Echols, Robert Mueller, Sandra Thomson Fire element is defined in astrology, tarot and other occult sciences as personal energy .... the will to make your mark on the world. It's the will to do something ... the motivation, incentive, boldness, and confidence to take action, the desire to make things happen, the drive to get attention, motivate people and arrange life's conditions to your satisfaction.

The Tarot through Time
A Puzzling Past ... A Contemporary Tool

Who created the Tarot ... and when ... and why? You can find a lot of answers to that question. Some silly. Some hotly contested. Some, no doubt, utterly wrong. Somewhere in the mish-mash, probably, lie the few grains of knowledge and truth we still have about those answers. It strikes me as ironic that the Tarot itself is a tool for divining answers ... and is itself shrouded in such mystery. Fitting, somehow.

The Tarot through Time
A Puzzling Past ... A Contemporary Tool

Uses of the Tarot

As a stimulus for synchronicity ... a practice which historically has shown an eerie ability to forecast the development of coming events. In other words, "fortune-telling" ... perhaps the most commonly known use of the Tarot, although its various and checkered reputations as something magical, unworldly, or "evil" are overblown and should be cautiously understood with exactly that fact in mind.

Learning the Tarot: A Tarot Book for Beginners
By
Joan Bunning Learning to interpret the Tarot, and then working with it regularly, is one way many spiritual seekers establish (and maintain) their connection to the mystical world with its miraculous connections into the vast reservoirs of subconscious wisdom and the literal creation of physical reality.

Each card's meaning, the concerns it represents, the images it suggests, the thoughts it can provoke in the mind of a reader, and the paths of inquiry it opens for the mystical student to explore are fascinating, multi-layered, rich with texture and nuance -- and full of profound, even life-altering, possibilities.

They can show a relationship between the small concerns of everyday life and the greater mosaic of unfolding existence with the splendid education available to you -- basically just for making the effort -- when you see the totality of that life from a Cosmic perspective. All that and an intriguing load of fun in the bargain! It's certainly an offer I can't refuse!

The History and Mystery of the Tarot

Recommended Book from Amazon

Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Book of Tarot
By
Rachel Pollack Much of the early history of the Tarot remains unclear and is often controversial. Stories associated with the origins of the Tarot are often fanciful, romantic ... and wrong -- or at least unprovable.

In my travels I've seen the usual references to gypsies ... which the Tarot's pop culture reputation certainly keeps alive. But I've also seen speculation about possible origins in ancient Egypt ... or in the help-me-keep-my-sanity project of a snowbound monk, trapped and alone in the Italian Alps.
