The Tarot: A Mirror of the Soul
The system of using Tarot cards to shed light
on one's life path and open up to the wisdom
within has often been dogged by superstitious
fear and misunderstanding on the part of
people who view it as an unsafe, occult practice.
This is unfortunate, because the cards can
play a role, much like our own dreams do,
in showing us our inner state of being and
the circumstances that we're attracting and
drawing into our lives. One could say that
drawing Tarot cards is no more dangerous
than looking into a mirror. The difference,
in this case, is that the reflection we see
is not of our physical body but rather of
our soul.
More and more Western minds began to open
up to the idea that ancient oracles like
the Tarot and I Ching could be useful tools
for exploring the unconscious thanks to the
work of the psychologist Carl Jung - particularly,
his concept of synchronicity. Synchronicity
basically means meaningful coincidence, a
correlation between movements in a spiritual
vein (what might be called "inner events")
and events in the outer world. If we believe
in such a concept, then it becomes possible
to see how a seemingly random action like
the drawing of a card can really have relevance
for us - because nothing in life is, in fact,
random. What we encounter in the world "out
there" is meant to show us what we're
carrying inside ourselves.
The system of the Tarot takes this a step
further, providing a wealth of symbols and
images that are intended to reflect the whole
breadth of human experience and every circumstance
that we might face on life's journey. Armed
with such a tool, we can willfully invite
synchronicity into our lives by letting the
cards speak to us (in symbolic language)
and tell us where we're been, where we are,
and where we're heading.
Tarot cards can do this job for us most easily
if we're able to shed our limiting beliefs
about our own minds and souls and open up
to the idea that knowledge can, perhaps,
come to us in ways other than strictly through
our intellect. Drawing the cards should be
approached in a spirit of play. We are, after
all, simply taking a look at ourselves, not
dabbling in some form of arcane witchcraft.
In the end, what we learn is dependent upon
how much we're really willing to listen.
If we don't like our physical appearance,
it would be silly to blame the mirror that
we're looking into. Would it be any more
sensible for us to resent a tool whose purpose
it is to reflect back to us the condition
of our souls?
