Tarot and the Psychology of the Soul is part classic guidebook, part provoking how-to, and a dash of stirring tarot philosophy. With a focus on inspiration and inclusivity for all tarot levels, it begins by establishing how we can view the cards as reflections of the psyche via depth psychology and walks readers through how to use the cards for the inner work and shadow work to answer the question: How am I meant to live? Rather than tarot cards being used to solve our meaninglessness and confusion, they can help mend a divide between the conscious and unconscious sides of our psyche. Depth psychology unveils the road into the wilderness of the unconscious, showing us how to listen to the insights of our dreams, the whispers of our shadows, and the longings of the essential self.
Mariana Louis delivers principles that tarotists can return to again and again. She guides beginners and seasons practitioners alike in discovering how the cards innately reflect the psyche and the world of archetypes, which, if we learn how to understand them and work with them, are the key to transformative inner work.
While T
arot and the Psychology of the Soul is founded on scholarship (depth psychology and tarot), it connects to readers in a style that is both intimate and encouraging, motivating them to discover the true power of the tarot and the true wisdom they carry within.
Throughout the book, Mariana offers:
- Psycho-spiritual meanings and approaches to the minor and minor arcana
- A breakdown of how to apply all that the reader has learned
- Guidance on how to prepare for readings and how the cards communicate
With this deepened perspective, pulling a card acts as an invitation to drop in, connect, recognize your authentic self, and be empowered to live it.
Tarot and the Psychology of the Soul shows you how to trust your own immanent powers of interpretation and inspires you to seek the endless potentialities of the cards within your life.
