Oracles have enchanted people since the most ancient societies, and tarot has been used to access our psyche for over 500 years. It is quite impressive how cards can help us uncover what we have difficulty seeing and show us new paths.
"A journey through the tarot cards is, first of all, a journey into our own depths. Whatever we encounter along the way is, au fond, an aspect of our deepest and highest Self. For the tarot cards, which originated in a time when the mysterious and irrational had more reality than they do today, bring us an effective source for the ancient wisdom of our innermost self. And a new wisdom is a great need of our time—wisdom to solve our personal problems and wisdom to find creative answers to the universal questions that confront us all."
Sallie Nichols, In: Jung and the Tarot - An Archetypal Journey
I work with the mythological tarot that accompanies the book by Juliet Sharman-Burke and Liz Greene because I believe that working with myths that are familiar to the Western world makes it easier to connect with the symbols on each card. The Greek myths used in these cards portray archetypal patterns of human life through figures and stories. I use a counseling approach from the perspective of Carl Jung's analytical psychology, that is, an approach with a psychological bias.
MYTHOLOGICAL TAROT ADVICE
​
"Uma viagem pelas cartas de tarot, primeiro de tudo, é uma viagem às nossas próprias profundezas. O que quer que encontremos ao longo do caminho é, au fond, um aspecto do nosso mais profundo e elevado Eu. Pois as cartas de tarot, que nasceram num tempo em que o misgterioso e irracional tinham mais realidade que hoje, trazem-nos uma fonte efetiva para a sabedoria ancestral do nosso eu mais íntimo. E uma nova sabedoria é uma grande necessidade do nosso tempo — sabedoria para resolver nossos problemas pessoais e sabedoria para encontrar respostas criativas às perguntas universais que a todos nos confrontam".
