Meditations on the Tarot

Brother Void

What comes to your mind when you think of Tarot?

How do the cards themselves make you feel?

Have you ever held a deck? Do you own one?

What do you know about the history of Tarot?

What do the images mean?

Who created this deck and its symbols?

When you look at the symbols on each card what do they mean to you, regardless of their “official” meaning?

The Major Arcana seem to tell a story or/and a process. They appear to represent multicultural archetypes. What story do they tell when shuffled and randomly chosen? What do they tell when read in order? The cards are numbered and numerologicaly connected to Hebrew letters (cabala). Why is The Fool number 0?

The Fool

0

Aleph

Why is The Fool number 0?

I leave you with this quote:

… consciousness succumbs all too easily to unconscious influences, and these are often truer and wiser than our conscious thinking … Personality need not Imply consciousness. It can just as easily be dormant or sleeping.

(C. G. Jung, Conscious, Unconscious and Individuation)
