Carl Jung on the Power of Tarot Cards: They Provide Doorways to the Unconscious & Perhaps a Way to Predict the Future

in Art, Design, Psychology | October 5th, 2023 71 Comments

It is gen­er­al­ly accept­ed that the stan­dard deck of play­ing cards we use for every­thing from three-card monte to high-stakes Vegas pok­er evolved from the Tarot. “Like our mod­ern cards,” writes Sal­lie Nichols, “the Tarot deck has four suits with ten ‘pip’ or num­bered cards in each…. In the Tarot deck, each suit has four ‘court’ cards: King, Queen, Jack, and Knight.” The lat­ter fig­ure has “mys­te­ri­ous­ly dis­ap­peared from today’s play­ing cards,” though exam­ples of Knight play­ing cards exist in the fos­sil record. The mod­ern Jack is a sur­vival of the Page cards in the Tarot. (See exam­ples of Tarot court cards here from the 1910 Rid­er-Waite deck.) The sim­i­lar­i­ties between the two types of decks are sig­nif­i­cant, yet no one but adepts seems to con­sid­er using their Gin Rum­my cards to tell the future.

The emi­nent psy­chi­a­trist Carl Jung, how­ev­er, might have done so.

As Mary K. Greer explains, in a 1933 lec­ture Jung went on at length about his views on the Tarot, not­ing the late Medieval cards are “real­ly the ori­gin of our pack of cards, in which the red and the black sym­bol­ize the oppo­sites, and the divi­sion of the four—clubs, spades, dia­monds, and hearts—also belongs to the indi­vid­ual sym­bol­ism.

They are psy­cho­log­i­cal images, sym­bols with which one plays, as the uncon­scious seems to play with its con­tents.” The cards, said Jung, “com­bine in cer­tain ways, and the dif­fer­ent com­bi­na­tions cor­re­spond to the play­ful devel­op­ment of mankind.” This, too, is how Tarot works—with the added dimen­sion of “sym­bols, or pic­tures of sym­bol­i­cal sit­u­a­tions.” The images—the hanged man, the tow­er, the sun—“are sort of arche­typ­al ideas, of a dif­fer­en­ti­at­ed nature.”

Thus far, Jung has­n’t said any­thing many ortho­dox Jun­gian psy­chol­o­gists would find dis­agree­able, but he goes even fur­ther and claims that, indeed, “we can pre­dict the future, when we know how the present moment evolved from the past.” He called for “an intu­itive method that has the pur­pose of under­stand­ing the flow of life, pos­si­bly even pre­dict­ing future events, at all events lend­ing itself to the read­ing of the con­di­tions of the present moment.” He com­pared this process to the Chi­nese I Ching, and oth­er such prac­tices. As ana­lyst Marie-Louise von Franz recounts in her book Psy­che and Mat­ter:

Jung sug­gest­ed… hav­ing peo­ple engage in a div­ina­to­ry pro­ce­dure: throw­ing the I Ching, lay­ing the Tarot cards, con­sult­ing the Mex­i­can div­ina­tion cal­en­dar, hav­ing a tran­sit horo­scope or a geo­met­ric read­ing done.

Con­tent seemed to mat­ter much less than form. Invok­ing the Swe­den­bor­gian doc­trine of cor­re­spon­dences, Jung notes in his lec­ture, “man always felt the need of find­ing an access through the uncon­scious to the mean­ing of an actu­al con­di­tion, because there is a sort of cor­re­spon­dence or a like­ness between the pre­vail­ing con­di­tion and the con­di­tion of the col­lec­tive uncon­scious.”

What he aimed at through the use of div­ina­tion was to accel­er­ate the process of “indi­vid­u­a­tion,” the move toward whole­ness and integri­ty, by means of play­ful com­bi­na­tions of arche­types. As anoth­er mys­ti­cal psy­chol­o­gist, Ale­jan­dro Jodor­owsky, puts it, “the Tarot will teach you how to cre­ate a soul.” Jung per­ceived the Tarot, notes the blog Fae­na Aleph, “as an alchem­i­cal game,” which in his words, attempts “the union of oppo­sites.” Like the I Ching, it “presents a rhythm of neg­a­tive and pos­i­tive, loss and gain, dark and light.”

Much lat­er in 1960, a year before his death, Jung seemed less san­guine about Tarot and the occult, or at least down­played their mys­ti­cal, div­ina­to­ry pow­er for lan­guage more suit­ed to the lab­o­ra­to­ry, right down to the usu­al com­plaints about staffing and fund­ing. As he wrote in a let­ter about his attempts to use these meth­ods:

Under cer­tain con­di­tions it is pos­si­ble to exper­i­ment with arche­types, as my ‘astro­log­i­cal exper­i­ment’ has shown. As a mat­ter of fact we had begun such exper­i­ments at the C. G. Jung Insti­tute in Zurich, using the his­tor­i­cal­ly known intu­itive, i.e., syn­chro­nis­tic meth­ods (astrol­o­gy, geo­man­cy, Tarot cards, and the I Ching). But we had too few co-work­ers and too lit­tle means, so we could not go on and had to stop.

Lat­er inter­preters of Jung doubt­ed that his exper­i­ments with div­ina­tion as an ana­lyt­i­cal tech­nique would pass peer review. “To do more than ‘preach to the con­vert­ed,’” wrote the authors of a 1998 arti­cle pub­lished in the Jour­nal of Para­psy­chol­o­gy, “this exper­i­ment or any oth­er must be done with suf­fi­cient rig­or that the larg­er sci­en­tif­ic com­mu­ni­ty would be sat­is­fied with all aspects of the data tak­ing, analy­sis of the data, and so forth.” Or, one could sim­ply use Jun­gian meth­ods to read the Tarot, the sci­en­tif­ic com­mu­ni­ty be damned.

As in Jung’s many oth­er cre­ative reap­pro­pri­a­tions of myth­i­cal, alchem­i­cal, and reli­gious sym­bol­ism, his inter­pre­ta­tion of the Tarot inspired those with mys­ti­cal lean­ings to under­take their own Jun­gian inves­ti­ga­tions into para­psy­chol­o­gy and the occult. Inspired by Jung’s ver­bal descrip­tions of the Tarot’s major arcana, artist and mys­tic Robert Wang has cre­at­ed a Jun­gian Tarot deck, and an accom­pa­ny­ing tril­o­gy of books, The Jun­gian Tarot and its Arche­typ­al Imagery, Tarot Psy­chol­o­gy, and Per­fect Tarot Div­ina­tion.

You can see images of each of Wang’s cards here. His books pur­port to be exhaus­tive stud­ies of Jung’s Tarot the­o­ry and prac­tice, writ­ten in con­sul­ta­tion with Jung schol­ars in New York and Zurich. Sal­lie Nichols’ Jung and Tarot: An Arche­typ­al Jour­ney is less volu­mi­nous and innovative—using the tra­di­tion­al, Pamela Cole­man-Smith-illus­trat­ed, Rid­er-Waite deck rather than an updat­ed orig­i­nal ver­sion. But for those will­ing to grant a rela­tion­ship between sys­tems of sym­bols and a col­lec­tive uncon­scious, her book may pro­vide some pen­e­trat­ing insights, if not a recipe for pre­dict­ing the future.

    Cor­rec­tion: Sal­lie Nichols book is based on the Mar­seilles deck, which is one of the ear­li­est, much ear­li­er than Rid­er-Waite, as that deck con­tains 19th cen­tu­ry addi­tions.

    Also, the com­ment about the Tarot being Satan­ic is pro­found­ly sil­ly. The deck is rid­dled with Hebrew and Chris­t­ian sym­bol­ism, it has no over­lap with Satanism. The Gold­en Dawn peo­ple were High Church / Angli­can types, though I’m sure there are many Amer­i­can evan­ge­lists for whom that is Lucifer­ian enough.

    I have done Tarot card since I was 17, both for myself and others.And almost with­out excep­tion, my pre­dic­tions have always been right.Like all true psy­chics, I believe it is part­ly a gift of God and part­ly because o open to it and believe it is a “natural“human abil­i­ty that most peo­ple are taught to shut off like we are all taught to shut off artis­tic and cre­ative abil­i­ties , and that they are some­how related.I had my first of many prophet­ic dream by 5, and there has nev­er been any way to shut it offm„„it comes through dreams, art­work (my own), deep med­i­ta­tion, gut feel­ings and intu­ition, lis­ten­ing to music, ther­a­py and self-hel meth­ods. Need­less to say, I gave up fight­ing it long ago and began study­ing for­mal meth­ods of div­ina­tion like the Tarot.

    Chris­tians have tried to sup­press and sup­plant and demo­nize all mag­ic sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly through­out the years, even replac­ing pagan hol­i­days but leav­ing them in place rebrand­ed for their own reli­gion. East­er and Christ­mas are both old­er tra­di­tions observed before Chris­tian­i­ty. East­er is still observed on days gov­erned by the lunar cal­en­dar. That’s why it’s on a dif­fer­ent day every year. Any­thing ascribed any pow­er that isn’t direct­ly cred­it­ed to Jesus is wrong­ly called the work of the dev­il and let us not for­get the Inqui­si­tion and witch burn­ings, which I believe Jesus Him­self would have frowned upon.

    As a tarot read­er and astrologer, for more than 50 years, I can tell you that NOTHING pre­dicts the future, but these ele­gant tools are used to help peo­ple who might be con­fused about where they are in this moment. Every now is a point of change and deci­sion, a re-eval­u­a­tion of the choic­es we are mak­ing and where they might lead. The future is mys­te­ri­ous, there is noth­ing that is writ­ten, but in the dance of the arche­types, we have a chance to find our way.

    Satan­ic door­ways? That’s just a very close mind­ed and pre­sum­ably judge­men­tal com­ment. But every­one is enti­tled to there opin­ion
    I once believed the same thing. But only from inex­pe­ri­ence and no knowl­edge of what I was bas­ing my belief on. I won­der if u even know the his­to­ry? Where did that belief come from. It did­n’t come about because of true facts that they are evil. It’s like any­thing. U cant make the cards ur God. It is very easy to idol­ize the cards. Become infat­u­at­ed. I believe that is the warn­ing. The his­to­ry is much more detailed. But I’m not going to get into that. I just think ppl should know what they are talk­ing about when they auto­mat­i­cal­ly judge some­thing or some­one based on hearsay
    U heard they were evil so u believe it. Does­n’t make it true. Just makes the per­son look like an idiot. Sor­ry my opin­ion

    That’s exact­ly what I said. Close mind­ed and igno­rant because they base their beliefs on myths or plain hear say. It’s igno­rant

    Why give him so much infor­ma­tion about your life. They should already know about this.

    I find this all fas­ci­nat­ing. The dif­fer­ences of opin­ions on this top­ic. I have been doing read­ings for many years. I start­ed a YouTube chan­nel a cou­ple years ago but only recent­ly began tak­ing it more seri­ous It’s my per­son­al opin­ion, you can feel free to agree or dis­agree, it’s total­ly up to you. But I have dis­cov­ered that Tarot can be incred­i­bly heal­ing. It offers con­nec­tion with areas of our­selves that as a major­i­ty, have gone undis­cov­ered. I have used it per­son­al­ly to aide myself as well as many oth­ers bat­tling things like depres­sion, stress, anx­i­ety and grief to name a few. Tarot is a beau­ti­ful alter­na­tive to just giv­ing a pill to some­one and telling them to take it. Not to men­tion the count­less oth­er pills to address the side effects of the orig­i­nal. No one knows you bet­ter than YOU! The true you! Not the one you were formed to be by soci­ety. But the you that you were cre­at­ed to be. Tarot helps con­nect us back to our­selves. Our con­nec­tion and our free will become our guide to our pur­pose here.

    Being some­one who was in new age when peo­ple say they are satan­ic it is because it is the rea­son you are giv­en insight about peo­ples lives but only a lim­it­ed amount is because the knowl­edge you are get­ting is famil­iar spir­its not ances­tors or their rel­a­tives it may seem like that but it isn’t it is demons who pre­tend and shift forms to trick the peo­ple you are giv­ing the read­ing to to look deep­er into the occult so decep­tion can be spread for demon­ic king­doms can be born out of those peo­ple. Demons need peo­ple to do that so they can spawn their own kind out of these peo­ple to spread more demon­ic doc­trines. When spirits/demons are not sent to the abyss they wan­der till they find a host ghost are not real­ly ghost but demons trick­ing and play­ing games with peo­ple who are fooled by media to por­tray them as inno­cent yet they are after your destiny.The des­tiny God has for you. Matthew 12:43 tells you of that demons roam around look­ing for 7 worse to get to inhab­it the same body if not closed and repent­ed of and seek­ing the Lord if you are just an emp­ty ves­sel then they can come back and inhab­it you

    Tarot card read­ings and try­ing to pre­dict the fur­ther through medi­ums and psy­chic is the oppo­site of God­ly. He specif­i­cal­ly speaks against doing such things, Leviti­cus 19:31, only God knows the future, gift or no gift, Nobody knows the future but Him, and any gift we have He (God) gave us. They are sup­posed to be used for the glo­ry of the king­dom of God. Seek Him first and he will give us the desires of our hearts. Trust Him, he reveals what your gift is meant for and trust me it brings unex­plain­able joy and ful­fill­ment. (p.s. if some­one claims they can speak to one of your dead rel­a­tives, it’s not them, it’s a famil­iar spir­it (demon) and they just want your mon­ey) God’s gifts are free…and you can go straight to the source, just talk to Him, he real­ly wants to hear from you, dai­ly.

    Actu­al­ly, it’s the oth­er way around, play­ing cards, the pips and such, pre­date tarot cards by a long stretch orig­i­nat­ing in the far East and trav­el­ing west­ward by trade routes. Tarot was/is a game and div­ina­tion arose from the tarot game cards. There are sev­er­al tra­di­tions of tarot that long pre­date the Rid­er-Waite-Smith deck. Also, Jung’s inter­est in the tarot, like all of his eso­teric pur­suits, is thought­ful, but, as often comes up in his research, some­times he got his sources wrong. No inter­net back then, lim­it­ed and skewed his­tor­i­cal ref­er­ences would lead him eas­i­ly down a path of error. Hence his mis­bekief that pok­er play­ing cards come from Tarot and not the oth­er way around.

    It is real­ly quite sim­ple. What we call the present is actu­al­ly a com­plete spon­ta­neous cre­ation includ­ing a past a present and a future. So the future is just as much deter­mi­na­tive of the present as the past. It is a pack­age deal in which each is entire­ly depen­dent upon the oth­er. Hence it is just about as easy to intu­it the future from the present as it is to read the the present from the past. This does not nec­es­sar­i­ly mean that the past, present and future are pre­de­ter­mined because the entire pack­age, past present and future, are whol­ly recre­at­ed each time that an obser­va­tion is made.

    I have researched Tarot and this arti­cle is accu­rate to what I learned dur­ing my research. I also ran into the debate as to whether the mod­ern play­ing card deck evolved from or pre­dat­ed Tarot.
    I went fur­ther to study the Tarot cards them­selves so I could decide for myself if the cards rep­re­sent­ed psy­chol­o­gy, the human con­di­tion and a path to the Uncon­scious mind.

    I did decide after all that time invest­ed in edu­cat­ing myself that Tarot can help a per­son nav­i­gate the human con­di­tion and get past the ego to reveal insights into past, present and future paths, wis­dom, guid­ance based on psy­chol­o­gy and spir­i­tu­al­i­ty of dif­fer­ent cul­tures to gain a great deal of ben­e­fi­cial infor­ma­tion.

    I found noth­ing to sup­port claims of tarot being evil or mag­i­cal or satan­ic. I only found psy­chol­o­gy and spir­i­tu­al wis­doms from many cul­tures. The images are more sym­bol­ic than lit­er­al with the death card mean­ing sit­u­a­tion­al end­ings, change, trans­for­ma­tion, destruc­tion more often than actu­al death but with sup­port­ing cards it can more rarely mean actu­al death.

    The cards are just paper with ink on them. Its the abil­i­ty to inter­pret the images that seems mag­ick­al and you dont have to be psy­chic to read tarot but being a psy­chic sure adds even more insights to a read­ing.

    You def­i­nite­ly do not have to be present for “me” to read for some­one. I have heard some debate on this too. Should you do in per­son or remote read­ings. I think that answer is high­ly depen­dant upon the read­ers capa­bil­i­ties and beliefs. If the read­er is capa­ble of access­ing the ener­gies of the indi­vid­ual and the sit­u­a­tion­al ener­gies then Yes, a remote read­ing is 100% pos­si­ble. If a read­er has the capa­bil­i­ty for remote read­ing but believes only in “in per­son” read­ings work, that is what works for her but she could read remote if she believed and learned that she can.
    Any­ways, I am real­ly glad I ran across this arti­cle.

    Psy­chol­o­gy = Nar­cis­sism at min­i­mum by own rules out of the box, objec­tive hypocrisy test.

    Psy­chol­o­gy is also satan­ic, word sal­ad hypocrisy destroy­ing rela­tion­ships harm­ing chil­dren, all for Prof­its.
