Tarot Imagery: A Transformative Mirror to the Soul

Posted on by Dr. Alberto Parra

Long before tarot was considered a divination tool, it was aimed at figuring out people and situations to understand better what happens and why. It has always been an excellent mirror to the soul, and the intricate tarot imagery serves as a key to deciphering those hidden patterns, sparking curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

After reading this piece, you will understand why images in tarot are so important and why some tarot readers use different decks with varying designs.

Unveiling the power of Tarot imagery and the unconscious mind

Archetypes, as described by psychologist Carl Jung, are universal patterns that correspond to states of the human psyche. These primordial images are constantly found in myths and fairy tales because they are part of a collective unconscious. What tarot does with these archetypes is represent them in a card with deep meanings.

A combination of cards in a tarot shuffle reveals associations of different archetypes and their relationships. So, instead of reading them at first sight, why don’t we take a bit more time to examine the universal pattern they convey?

Doing so can help you transition from unconscious to conscious. Your inner world unfolds, and more than mere events and predictions, you gain insight into the patterns that hide within the fog of a complex mind and society.

But then, the same imagery that helped you figure out tarot readings may become a limited view because they often show an angle of a complex archetype that cannot be reduced to a simple image. That’s why most professional tarot readers buy additional decks with optional imagery. Connecting with new tarot images can help deepen your readings and understand the complexity of the archetype beyond a single representation.

How tarot reveals patterns and elevates consciousness

In a tarot card reading, each shuffle represents an intermediary between our inner world and the rational perception that turns everything into facts and figures. We can either go directly to events and the answers we’re looking for or give shape to emotions and thoughts that would otherwise remain hidden in the unconscious mind.

But even if you don’t have time for insightful reading and want a clear answer to show up and go on with your life, remember that there are thousands of possibilities behind each concise answer in tarot. What tarot shows are not hard facts but energies on the move, and images are a limited representation of such energies.

How to deepen tarot meanings and expand on each archetype

Most people start by learning tarot meanings and combinations with a classic maze such as Rider-Waite or Marseille. That’s perfectly fine because they contain many hidden gems readers will encounter in time.

But after you get used to them, why don’t you challenge yourself with a new deck with alternative imagery? Explore how such new imagery expands your understanding of the archetype, achieving slight modifications to your readings.

Once you get acquainted with a second maze, it will be easier to remember the representation of the same card in a different maze. Examine how such deepening of the arcane can change your understanding of the shuffle.

And if you want to go beyond representations, why don’t you try something new? Use a tarot maze with symbolic representations of each archetype instead of the usual scenery with characters and concise messages. Try these mazes when you feel ready for them, and experience how they expand your connection with your cards.

After a while, you will better understand archetypes beyond a simple representation, using different images to explore the various angles of each card. Continue practicing, and don’t forget to take extra time to investigate and ask profound and insightful questions.

Tarot dreams: How to interpret your dream when a card shows up

Posted on by Dr. Alberto Parra

Tarot dreams: How to interpret your dream when a card shows up

Some of us have had a dream with a tarot card, which sometimes strikes us as a complete mystery. How can we interpret these dreams?

Whether you’re a consultant or a reader, tarot dreams often carry potent messages. However, these are more relevant if you have interacted with tarot. Contrary to that, if you simply saw a tarot card in a movie scene and then had a dream of it, the meaning can be biased and more complicated to interpret.

In this article, we will uncover the key steps you can take to interpret your dreams or help other people know what their tarot dreams are trying to reveal.

A basis for tarot dream interpretation

When interpreting tarot dreams, you must first ask whether they reflect a message from the past, present, or future. The answer depends on where the card or spread is placed on your perspective as a dreamer:

  • On your left side: The card or spread refers to your past. It may refer to unresolved issues or past events that you need to consider.
  • At the center: The card or spread refers to the present. It relates to current challenges, influences, or opportunities.
  • On your right side: The card or spread refers to your immediate future. It usually translates to a few days or weeks.

For example, finding The Emperor on your left in a dream might show that you have unresolved issues with a paternal figure or your boss. On the other hand, The Empress on your right side might indicate a future influence or an upcoming encounter with your mother or a mother-in-law.

Relevant meanings and how to find them in dreams

Tarot cards have different meanings, and it’s natural to feel confused with many interpretations. But remember, dreams are deeply involved with your inner self. The card’s message most likely aligns with your heart and the meaning closest to your essence and personality.

Even if you’re familiar with several definitions, the most meaningful one resonates with you emotionally. Trust your intuition and consider other events in the dream that might provide context for the spread.

For instance, the High Priestess is linked to intuition, spiritual wisdom, and secrecy. Imagine a dream where someone else asks you many questions or prompts you to speak, and the High Priestess shows up at the table on your right. The dream suggests that you should be careful with the information you disclose in the following days and follow your intuition if someone seems untrustworthy.

The intrinsic plot twist of dreaming

One crucial factor to remember when interpreting tarot dreams is that they are not always straightforward. The subconscious mind hides uncomfortable realities in symbols and events that will be easier to handle. Thus, a seemingly beautiful dream may sometimes carry unsettling messages and vice versa.

An example is The World and The Death. If someone who’s severely ill has a dream with The Death card, we might initially think of a grievous outcome. However, it usually means going through hardship but finding a profound change after a while. In contrast, The World card in this context means happiness and fulfillment, but in heaven or a mystical world. It is a happier card on its outer layer, but it can also mean the culmination of something, including one’s lifespan.

Tarot dreams can be fascinating and mysterious. But with the proper perspective and an open-minded approach, you can find more profound messages from your subconscious mind. So, next time you dream with tarot cards, make notes as soon as possible to remember the card’s location and the key events that provide context to your reading.

Dalí’s Surreal Tarot: Art and Insight Combined

Posted on by alexesguerra

Today, numerous contemporary artists have reinterpreted tarot cards, bringing unique styles and approaches to the famous Rider-Waite depictions. But what if you knew about a tarot card deck created by a celebrated artist like Salvador Dali?

Most of us have heard of Salvador Dalí, but not all know he was commissioned with a tarot card deck in the 1970s. He was hired to create a deck for a James Bond film, Live and Let Die. The project was not completed for the movie, but Dalí continued developing his tarot deck, which was then released in 1984.

It’s a must-have for any tarot reader who is also a fan of classic art, especially if they know the insights of the painter and his wife Gala. She was a significant influence on this project, adding layers of extra symbolism and depth to this impressive deck.

Surrealist art as a tool for tarot insight

When learning about tarot cards and how to perform readings, one of the most striking discoveries is how you can blend your reality into each card’s deep symbols and archetypes. Just imagine how mind-bending it would be if we had surrealist art depictions for the major and minor arcana.

Dalí’s Tarot is an interesting fusion of his work with other exponents of European painting, such as Botticelli and Velázquez. Ultimately, you get an original tarot deck with a strong artistic background and deep esoteric meaning.

One notable example is the portrayal of The Empress. In his version, Dalí includes elements from two Renaissance paintings that convey the meaning of beauty and abundance. Combined with Dalí’s surrealistic approach, it gives you a unique mystic vibe that also feels like an homage to art history.

The psychologic aspects of Dalí’s Tarot

Another salient aspect of Dalí’s Tarot is how it can help readers reach a new approach to the same archetypes. The most recent reprint of this tarot deck by TASCHEN comes with a handbook by tarot expert Johannes Fiebig. In his view, this deck was designed for an esoteric reading and a profound psychological introspection.

One example is The Fool, a card with an extra sense of duality in Dalí’s Tarot. The character embodies duality, appearing both as an explorer of an irrational world and a jester who defies universal laws. By itself, the drawing is an almost too direct invitation for self-discovery that constantly reminds us how wisdom can sometimes be intertwined with madness in our search for truth.

Dalí’s Tarot is not a conventional piece, and it’s much more than a stylish reimagining of the same Rider-Waite cards. It’s a surrealistic art piece that continues inviting tarot readers to explore a deeper esoteric and psychological meaning. The first edition of this deck is no longer available. That’s why TASCHEN now reprinted Dalí’s Tarot Multilingual Edition by Johannes Fiebig, with all 78 cards in a fresh celebration of Dalí’s inimitable custom set.

The work was published in a limited art edition in 1984 that has since long sold out, making Dalí the first renowned painter to create a completely new set of cards. Drawing on Western masterpieces from antiquity to modernity (including some of his own), Dalí seamlessly combined his knowledge of the arcane with his unmistakable wit. The result is a surreal kaleidoscope of European art history.

TASCHEN resurrects all 78 cards in a fresh celebration of Dalí’s inimitable custom set, complete with a booklet by renowned German tarot author Johannes Fiebig offering an introduction to Dalí’s life and the project’s making-of, a comprehensive explanation of each card’s composition, its meaning, and practical advice, step-by-step instructions on how to perform readings, and a jargon-free approach simplifying tarot for the newcomer.

Exploring Folktales Through Tarot Interpretations

Posted on by alexesguerra

Few relics from the past are as enigmatic and ripe for deep research as folktales. Some of these may seem quite simple, but there’s a reason why they remained engraved in our minds and cultures.

Folktales cover fundamental topics such as growth, pain, love, and transformation. So, how can we examine them under the scope of tarot readings?

In this article, we will cover some popular fairy tales and myths and how they relate to tarot.

Innocence and adventure in folktales and tarot

The fool is one of the most popular cards in tarot. Similarly, innocence and adventure are fundamental themes in fairy tales such as The Little Mermaid or Jack and the Beanstalk.

These stories have in common a main character that is innocent and unguarded against the perils of the real world. The little mermaid, for example, travels to an unknown world awaiting for a different life. She has no clue as to what it will mean for her in the future but still takes the risk.

For tarot readers, that describes the archetype of the fool. This archetype does not necessarily represent a naive character. What’s more important, The Fool is prepared for transformation and change in a daunting road.

Duality and evil and what they can teach us

The fool’s journey can be found in nearly every folktale, often linked to themes of duality. There’s always an evil counterpart lurking behind the scenes. A great example of that would be the Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf.

Here, the wolf can easily be linked to The Devil. It’s not only a shadow of greed and desire. It also represents the temptation to fall to the material world and slavery to one’s desires.

But is there a way to integrate duality into a single symbol? Beauty and the Beast is a great example filled with symbolic meaning. It is the perfect example of how animal instinct and human reason can find a middle way. 

In tarot, The Lovers card holds similar symbolism. Beyond romance, The Lovers represents a decision being made. It is also a confrontation between our minds and heart, and how the result affects what we choose to do.

Transformation under the mage’s wand

The Mage is another popular tarot archetype with parallels to figures such as the Wizard of Oz or Aladdin’s genie. These mighty beings are there to uncover the arcane truth about the occult and transformation.

In tarot, The Mage is all about dominion of the elements and being able to transform your desires into action. We can find a similar role in alchemists, genies, fairies, and wizards all about the fairy tale worlds.

There’s much more to learn by delving deeper into popular narratives, fairy tales and folk stories. For instance, we can mention the less known story about Hinemoa and Tutanekai and how it relates to The World.

This theme is beautifully portrayed in Yoshi Yoshitani’s Tarot of the Divine: A Deck and Guidebook Inspired by Deities, Folklore, and Fairy Tales from Around the World.

So, if you like folk tales and tarot, you’ll appreciate the deck’s vibrant art, and the accompanying 44-page guidebook, which contains the myth of Oedipus from Greece, Fenrir’s legend from Norway, Japan’s Crane Wife, among others.

Exploring the Symbolism of Water in Life

Posted on by Dr. Alberto Parra

More than a life symbol: The deep meanings behind water

More than half the human body is made up of water. Apart from flowing through our veins, this mystical fluid has long transcended time as a symbol of life, connection, and emotions.

The deep meanings hiding behind its transparent mass extend far and wide into different aspects of life. Breaking water marks the start of birth, running water symbolizes letting go, restless waters are linked to emotional turmoil. But when water is calm, its reflection shows reality clearly and without filters.

With such diverse meanings, this element deserves more than a simple mention in our tarot and oracle readings. So, let’s go through some applications of water symbology that people usually overlook.

Basic understanding of water as a symbol

We don’t need a solid background in tarot reading and esoteric symbols to be acquainted with the usual meanings of water:

  • Water is associated with cleansing and renewal. It wipes out negative energies and leaves burdens in the past, allowing for a fresh start.
  • Water is deeply associated with the emotional world and intuition. It is the element behind the Suit of Cups in tarot and symbolizes relationships, emotional states, and psychic awareness.
  • When water energies are skillfully directed, they promote emotional restoration. It is a symbol of gentle healing as opposed to aggressive or forceful attempts to correct flaws and defects.
  • When water is calm, it serves as a reflection or mirror. It helps us see deeper truths, offering clarity and insight into both our inner and outer worlds.

Diving deeper into its applications

Water meanings listed above are elementary but equally powerful. However, there are more profound meanings once we understand the basics:

  • Water as transformation and alchemy: This element plays a fundamental role in ancient magic. In the alchemical process, water breaks down rigid structures allowing for change and transformation. It promotes refinement and enlightenment to materials and our own ego.
  • Water as an eternal cycle: Water continuously moves through evaporating, condensing, falling, and flowing. This fact has a deep meaning to it. It symbolizes the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth. It is also a reminder of impermanence and gives us the strength to let go.
  • Water as a boundary or crossing point: When depicted as a mass of water, as in a lake or ocean, it also marks a boundary for continents, people, and civilizations. Moreover, it’s a crossing point to our inner self, the subconscious mind, and everything that lies deep within.

We could endlessly explore the meanings of water, adding layer after layer of new depths. Entire books can be published to cover the topic, which is why Rebecca Campbell has recently devoted her most recent oracle to delve into the topic.

Her “Healing Waters Oracle: A 44-Card Deck and Guidebook” can be a good start if you want to explore the deep meanings of water applied to your inner self and growth. The guidebook offers not only a list of meanings but also insights into the esoteric applications of water, a basic element linked to life itself.

Can tarot be of any help if you want to practice yoga?

Posted on by Dr. Alberto Parra

One of the aspects tarot readers love about this practice is its versatility. You can use tarot to predict your future, learn about your present, and improve your daily living.

But can you guide the practice of another discipline such as yoga through tarot?

Tarot as an oracle

Major and minor arcana in tarot have different energies and symbols. Depending on your deck, you may have extra clues to apply your readings to a given circumstance.

Take the magician as an example. The card symbolizes the manifestation of an intention into reality. In Love readings, it shows a dedicated lover that makes you feel amazing. But it can also be read as the archetype of masculinity and hard work.

Such a variety of meanings are linked to a single essence: focus and personal power.

You can see that archetype in daily living, almost every day. When a reading has the magician as its main focus, it’s an oracle drawing your attention to this aspect of life. If you respond by trusting yourself and doing your best, you’ll probably have a different view of otherwise routinary or sometimes chaotic events in life.

That insight you gain by changing your view is what makes an oracle so powerful.

Oracles for yoga and their applications

There are hundreds of oracles out there, and some can be applied to yoga. Tarot itself can be helpful because both practices share a common ground.

They both encourage personal growth and mindfulness. Moreover, there are tarot cards such as the magician, which promote the alignment of mind and body.

Integrating tarot into your yoga practice can gradually deepen your understanding of each pose. For instance, when you’re making the Warrior Pose I embodied as The Magician, your mind can be centered on much more than holding the stance. You’re internalizing grounded strength, upward aspiration, and the positive effects of combining your power and concentration.

Set your yoga intention with tarot cards

Have you ever drawn a tarot spread to set your intention before a yoga session? You can use a single card or a few to practice different stances and get your mind focused on an archetype.

In some cases, it can take your practice to completely new levels.

For instance, the corpse pose in yoga can help you relax and it is great to promote quality sleep. But what if you link this pose to The Death tarot card? It prompts the need to quietly gather strengths before facing big life changes. It may help you let go if something you enjoy is near its end.

There are poses linked to each tarot card, and you can use them as an experienced yoga practitioner or a newcomer. Discover the creativity of bringing tarot and yoga together and draw your next tarot spread in a completely new way.

Wondering how you can do it? “Yoga Through Tarot Cards: 50 Embodied Practices Inspired by the Major & Minor Arcana” is a publication by professional yoga teacher and tarot reader, Lou Thomas you can obtain here. It will guide you through the deep interactions between tarot and yoga and how it can strengthen your yoga practice.

After reading and applying its creative insights, you will gain a completely new view of an ancestral practice that makes you stay connected with yourself and the rest of the world.

Can we explore health and wellness topics with tarot?

Posted on by alexesguerra

People’s perception of tarot gradually improves as they leave many myths and misconceptions behind. Still, most consultants come to a tarot reader to find out what the future holds, which is, of course, one of many applications of cartomancy.

However, more than a tool to predict the future, tarot can be a passageway to explore our current issues and potential in a new light. It can bring our attention to latent health problems and help us identify and solve them thoroughly.

Tarot in health: is it an accurate diagnostic tool?

Tarot is not like an MRI scan or a blood test. It doesn’t work that way. These diagnostic tools instantly depict a complex system with ever-changing variables, giving us the current state and nothing more.

Tarot goes beyond that and helps us visualize how the strings move deep inside, and its more likely outcome. It can show a potential health problem that may arise in the future, a tendency dictated by our habits, or a current issue we’re going through.

So, instead of considering tarot readings a diagnostic tool, we can use it to identify red flags and act accordingly. Cards with running water like the star may show a tendency for blood circulation issues. A nine of swords upright can show insomnia problems and other cards around it can give us the reason. When reversed, wand cards suggest bone and joint disease.

However, instead of a diagnosis, a health spread gives us a helpful map to guide us through prevention and may sometimes suggest a medical check.

Tarot in wellness: how can we make life-changing improvements?

Therapeutic readings hold a hidden potential many people do not know about tarot. As with health topics, a wellness reading can explore something that lies deep inside. In this case, inner motivations and the subconscious mind.

Is there anything blocking you emotionally? What can you do to move forward and leave the past behind? These questions can make a big difference in a tarot reading.

You stop living on auto-pilot when you realize what drives you and why. It’s the first step to solving emotional problems, strengthening connections with others, and living life to the fullest. Tarot can help us do that. However, it always requires something of us.

Getting a two of pentacles in a reading may show a tendency to hold everything on your own. You may feel better after learning to relegate work, trust others, and alleviate your burden. As a suggestion, the tower may show it’s now the moment to question your convictions and think out of the box. A page of swords may uncover trust issues and the tendency to be wary of others and their intentions.

Based on this type of reading, you can identify what needs to be done to live a more fulfilling life. This view allows much more than exploring your future. It helps you choose what you prefer and build your own story.

Can you make the shift?

A tiny change in your tarot questions can make a big difference. Instead of only wondering what will happen in the future, why not ask how to improve the outcome?

These questions help you look beyond a simple reading, and it also helps if you have a clear maze with the right size and illustrations. We have many options on this site; not only the usual Rider Waite but other alternative decks as well as oracles, Lenormand cards, and much more.
