The Relationship between Tarot Cards and Psychology

Tarot cards and psychology carl jung was the first psychologist to face tarot cards squarely. He regards tarot cards as a symbolic prototype: the basic types or situations of human beings are all implied in all human subconscious behaviors. For example, "emperor" is the symbol of the highest authority (parents) or the image of father. This prototype theory has triggered many psychological uses. Some psychologists ask patients to choose a tarot card that suits them to determine how patients view themselves. Some psychologists try to use tarot images to make patients understand his thoughts by imagining his situation or relationship: Is it as keen as Knight of the Sword? Or is it as blind and evasive as "Two Swords" in the RWS series? Tarot cards can be regarded as subconscious algebra and can be analyzed at the level of consciousness. Interestingly, previous tarot cards, such as Visconti-sforza and Marseille, are often rougher and less algebraic than modern tarot cards. This is not only an illusion from a modern point of view, but also reflects the general direction of the evolution and change of Tarot art in previous centuries, especially since 1900. The symbolic meaning of tarot cards has been very successfully popularized from the beginning.
