Jung and Tarot: An Archetypal Journey (Paperback) by Sallie Nichols - 1990

Samuel Weiser Inc, Maine, USA, 1990. Fifth Impression. Softcover. Very Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. Introduction by Laurens van der Post. This highly innovative work presents a detailed and piercing interpretation of the Tarot in terms of Jungian psychology. Through analogy with the humanities, mythology and the graphic arts, Sallie Nichols helps each reader to a uniquely personal experience of the intriguing Tarot images. Viewing the Major Arcana as a map outlining the journey toward self-realization, the author offers many techniques for using the cards to gain practical insights along the way. "Two great traditions are wedded in this work: the irrepressible and magical Tarot and Jung's archetypal psychology. This wedding, long overdue, is achieved not only through the wit and wisdom of Sallie Nichols, but through her obvious love and care for the images of Tarot. The result is a superb and significant volume that will become food for critical minds and a most welcome elixir for souls thirsting for draughts of substance. Anyone with the remotest interest or fascination with the power of the image to move the psyche will find in Sallie Nichols' Jung and Tarot: An Archetypal Journey, just that: a journey into that realm where the image, the psyche and the soul find their source and their goal."
