[edit] Description
Taking the Fool's Journey as an archetypal starting point, Tarot as a Way of Life posits a Jungian interpretation of Tarot and its symbols. The author sees the Major Arcana as psychological forces operating in everyone's life and makes her case for the Tarot as a tool that empowers the individual in their journey towards integration. The book references the Waite-Smith Tarot explicitly and emphatically, though it draws comparisons to the Marseille Tarot and a few popular modern decks. Hamaker-Zondag spends some time discussing the yin-yang polarity of the Tarot and drawing connections to astrology (listing a number of attribution systems), numerology, and mythology. Her coverage of the Minor Arcana is more numerologically based, but again discusses it as a coherent system useful in facing personal situations.
