This course offers a deep exploration of the Major Arcana. It shows its psychological and symbolic significance through a Jungian and depth-psychological lens. You will journey through each card, uncovering its archetypal meaning and its place within the larger path of individuation.
The images of the Tarot are integral to the Western mystery traditions. They form an organic language, expressing fundamental human experiences that are as ancient as the psyche itself. The Major Arcana reveals the forces of fate and the stages of psychological development, mapping the soul’s unfolding journey.
More than tools for divination, these cards contain layers of meaning that can awaken intuition, activate the unconscious, and offer insight into the deeper dynamics of life. The symbols of the Tarot, much like collective dream images or fairy tales, speak to us in a language beyond words.
This course also engages with the age-old question of free will and destiny, inviting reflection on the ways in which we navigate the unknown. Lionel Corbett will compare the Major Arcana of the Waite and Marseille Tarot decks, two systems rich with symbolic and numerological meaning. Each deck, shaped by the spirit of its time, presents a unique perspective on the mysteries encoded in the Tarot.
