TAROT - More than Fortunetelling.

When someone asks how he or she should start learning Magick, i say - buy a TAROT deck of cards.

TAROT is mostly known for it's fortunetelling uses, but i think it's far more.


Each card is a Symbol, different TAROT decks have different images and meanings. Magicians use symbols in their Spellwork.


There are also Ritual Tools of TAROT:
- Athamé,
- Chalice,
- Pentacle,
- Wand.

These are useful in Spellwork & Rites.


Also, i am noticing similarities between TAROT and Jung's Psychology.

Important ideas in Jungian Psychology are Archetypes - i've read that TAROT is not so much Occult as Archetypal. Archetypes worked far in past, before TAROT decks were created.


What exactly are Jungian Archetypes?
