When I started to look deep within the images of the Tarot cards, there were several books that helped me along the way. One of those books was Mary K. Greer’s 21 Ways To Read A Tarot Card. Not only did it give me a way to explore the Tarot cards in many different ways (21 actually), but it also gave the process a very creative turn.
Today, I am going to share my thoughts about this very wonderful book with you.
Today, lets look at how the archetypes of The Anima and The Animus are depicted in the images of the Tarot cards.
Our inner world has many dimensions. However, our outer world can also have several layers. All of those different layers make up the Persona of an individual.
Lets have a look at how this archetype has been expressed within the images of the Tarot cards.
Lets look at how the Shadow archetype manifests across the different spheres of our life, and of course, the images of the Tarot cards.
Today, we are going to look at the archetype of the Self and at how it has been portrayed in the Tarot cards.
I have been thinking of writing a series of posts about these different archetypes. But before we dive right into the pool, lets take a deeper look at the concept of Archetypes, and how they relate to the images on our Tarot card deck.

In our previous posts in the series Understanding The Court Cards, we’ve gone through the different court cards and their meanings etc. But then, the question that most of us still wonder about is: which court card most relates to our own personality?
Discovering which court card you are can really be a very interesting journey, believe me! And yes, it is a journey of self-discovery and self-awareness.
So how does one go about finding one’s court card? Today, I am going to talk about some of the interesting ways I have discovered my court card. Possibly, that might help you discover yours as well…
The Kings are right at the top of the hierarchy amongst all the Court Cards. They represent the absolute mature version of the personality in that suit. As such, they are stable and solid, and they exercise complete control over their element. On occasion, they are even capable of even directing the flow of the energies of their element.
The ideas that were conceived in the stage of the Page, acted upon in the Knight stage, nurtured and cared for in the Queen stage — these ideas have now fully developed, and are stabilized and directed towards the next level of growth and development in the King stage.
Let’s look at the different Kings amongst our Court Cards.
