Reflections on the Archetypal Journey

Why Tarot Cards?

The Tarot deck is a collection of archetypal images. As I look back on my formative years, I am keenly aware of the archetypal energies I was encountering. I found that contemplating a picture that illustrated a particular energy made it much easier to identify that energy's influence, feel my connection to it, and consciously integrate it.

As I was working through the pages in the Journey section of this site, I noticed that many of them focused on a single theme, and those themes often aligned with the archetypes illustrated in the Tarot deck, so I included the cards as a visual representation of what was going on. I further noticed how all those isolated experiences combined into a process of incorporating all these energies.

The images remind me of a time and place. Times and places remind me of the images. Linking them allows the two processes to work together.
