The Esoteric Roots Of Tarot And Its Connection To Jungian Archetypes
Tarot is a set of illustrated cards used primarily for divination, but its esoteric origins link it to a deeper, mystical exploration of human consciousness.
Occult groups like the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the 19th century further codified Tarot's imagery into a complex system of esoteric symbolism, aligning it with qabalistic, astrological, and alchemical traditions.
This symbolic system resonates closely with the Jungian concept of archetypes-universal, primordial symbols residing within the collective unconscious.
Carl Jung, the Swiss psychiatrist, recognized that Tarot cards embody these archetypes, such as the Hero, Shadow, and Anima, making them tools for introspection and understanding the deeper patterns of the psyche.
Thus, Tarot serves as both a mystical and psychological tool, offering insights into the human condition and the universal narratives that shape our world.

Very well presented and the known history of the card's
I collect historical tarot cards. I currently have 29 decks. I have the Visconti deck, as well as the sola busca… I like to study the changes of its symbolism over time.
When symbolism changes over time is a fascinating statement. Like the 'low land' means the land low over there. Like have u seen the mad cow _ we lost it over in the high land. Oh u mean he's over in the low land. No he's on the high land. It's all relative _ when your sitting in a tree. No your mad cow is in the ditch over there _ stupid.
Pretty cool. Is it very expensive or just expensive?😅
that is interesting. Do you collect like really old antiquities or reproductions. Studiing the changes must be very interesting.
🧐😮💨🙌🏼
Amazing I'm a 20years Tarot Reader 🙌🏼 can i ask where did u found your rare collection?
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate,” is such an interesting thing for Jung to have said because he also believed the unconscious to be infinite. Jung was directing western minds to the universal truth of consciousness as oneness, leading us back to spirituality which was then perceived as woo woo regarding the eastern teachings from which Jung drew his conclusions (ie the Secret of The Golden Flower). He had to strip psychology bare of soul for the western mind to absorb it, but foundationally his practices were based in long-practiced traditions of eastern mysticism.
It’s why the gov paid Einstein (the original Bug Physics shill) to claim that life and time were finite. They don’t want us knowing this.
Bug=big
If we could plants a secret flower in every secret garden we would have world peace immediately following world war3.
I see the Emperor as embodying the Father archetype, rather than Wise Old Man. I view The Hermit as epitomizing the Wise Old Man. The Magician I see as the archetypal Ego. I agree with the narrator that the Fool represents the Divine Child.
Great concise history! I can personally attest to the study of tarot as a journey of self-actualization. Last year I documented my personal tarot readings on every new and full moon and was able to delve into psychological patterns that influence me. It helped me to weather changes and to open me up to spiritual guidance. You can watch my process on my KZhead playlist, if you'd like to see how a beginner can go about using the practice of interpreting the cards. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!🌛🌚🌜
Sallie Nichols wrote Jung and Tarot. Worth checking out...
As someone getting acquainted with the Tarot the timing for this is awesome. Many thanks💕⭐️👼
you have no idea lol just WILD timing for me as well, INCREDIBLE
Google algorithm, especially if you've been watching videos and purchasing decks.
I was asking for this video about 7-8 days ago- thank you for listening world algorithm creators
Thank you for posting. I am studying and enjoying this.
I was just asking this at midnight 😨😱 I ask for answers and now I have them like 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Thank you so very kindly for this. There's a name I've been hearing for many years but hadn't realized what it meant until now. This video unlocked something I'd been missing. 🗝
🙏🏼 gratitude- great peek into these symbols. May we be grateful that otherwise hidden information is so readily available for our growth.
Go to the source. See the threshold of Ashurbanipal from Dur Sharrugin and ask yourself why that same symbol is present on (1) the Magdala Altar from the Migdal Synagogue, as well as on (2) ancient ossuaries from the Second Temple period (including multiple on an ossuary of "Yeshua son of Joseph"), and finally in Christianity as (3) the Vesica Piscis from which Jesus emerges at the Eschaton, as well as various early Christian depictions of circles with the Vesica Piscis obviously highlighted but not explicitly stated. You can find many many many examples of this, suggesting the concealment of certain information, certainly by whatever hegemony of the 1st century CE could coopt and corrupt the revelation of a sign, which is why the Christians refer to that sign as "the Sign of Jonah." Seriously. Check it out.
There is a great deal more to be said about that, and the secret is widely revealed in many ancient Churches, though the Christians were not given the Eyes for seeing.
It's true that the Roman Catholic Church was corrupted by that hegemony from its Pauline inception. That anyone thinks any "truth" escaped in any linguistically transmissible way shows how much people underestimate the reach of Rome over the span of three centuries, until it finally reached out to remove the Gnostics from Egypt as well as those who still understood cuneiform from Mesopotamia. The Gnostics didn't escape the reach of Rome. Why do people think the Catholic Church survived? Paul was a small fascist, and like the Croci Paulum, he will return to pay for his antiepisteme, his forsaking of the Lord, for which he was broken. Early Christianity had some relationship to a specific six-petaled flower (found on Phoenician bowls, as well as on the pillar capitals of the City of David and the Second Temple), and that flower was referred to in Latin as Croci Paulum, "small crocus." In Hebrew, the name for the flower was Karkom, referenced only in Song of Songs. It was a necessary element of the Temple incense sacrifice. We have no idea how much Saffron was burned in temples and synagogues around the Mediterranean, but there must have been a great deal of Saffron produced in the Ancient Near East, and it is almost entirely wiped from the historical record with the exception of its symbolic trace, which is just as widespread as we know the production of Saffron was. People laugh at the idea of the Church of Mary Magdalene at Rennes-le-Chateau, because it was taken up into some conspiracy theories regarding its construction and purpose in the 70s, which I have yet to even read a wiki about. Anyway, there was something concealed at that Church, which the Priest Sauniere discovered while analyzing certain symbols in the forests around Carcassonne. The Church at Rennes-le-Chateau apparently had some ancient pillar capitals and other iconography that led Sauniere to the concealed Truth, which he then had commissioned as artwork across the Church, placing the Crocus at the center of the crosses, for example, with the traditional golden dot at the center (unless you know the ancient iconography, you would never see this), and then in a massive relief depicting the Eschaton, tucked away subtly at the bottom of the hill, in the shade, is a depiction of an ancient, pre-Corinthian capital. People paid Sauniere well for masses because the locals believed that something had been revealed to them, even though they could not ever piece it together. It remained a mystery.
Thank you for this! Amazing documentary.
Great information and great production level. 👍🏻👍🏻
I have absolutely enjoyed watching this and enjoy embracing learning of the psyche and such. I just began following and am going to go watch more. And this comment is the 111th comment.
A very interesting video. Thank you. I've been reading for a few years now with a passion for historical tarot and to date subscribe with the Ficino / Botticelli theory of origin for the triumphs which can be found in many of Sandro Botticelli's paintings while the pips were inspired by Mamluk cards via the trade routes. It's a pretty great rabbit hole to jump into.
A really nice show, enjoyed it so much.
Appreciate the knowledge.
fascinating great production value compelling narration excellent scholarship tyvm
Great information.Thank you
Many thanks, great work!!
What's a comprehensive video. Subscribed!
This was ironically very suited for me. I got my deck of tarot cards in early 1981 and as a child growing up I was into why people did what they did and hearing about both Yung and Freud , I chose Yung. lol the great debate.... This brought back memories of bygone days and what I once was, and who's influences were the deck of cards I STILL have tucked away in a metal box with my "on stage with Metallica , snake pit" cloth sticker I won to the 1991-92 tour and concert ticket stub. Neither are something I partake of these days and I kind of miss both. (concerts more as music was my first love of the 2 the other being the occultist things like astrology, astrology not so much . Which is why). Thanks for the information into the where who and what of tarot (mostly my deck design😅) a very good video!!!
Thank You for this explanation of; Why and how Tarot was created for. #Reachigherself #DivineMessagesAngelsAncestorsMostHigh
Excellent input Thanks God bless
Excellent video! Thank you
All very good, however one omission stands out: Meditations on the Tarot. A profound and extremely deep dive into Tarot.
I would suggest the Waite-Smith tarot was more influened by Oswald Wirth's "The Tarot of the Magicians", whilst its pip cards borrowed fron the Sola Busca deck.
Thank you! ❤❤❤
Decades ago, Robert O'Neill & more recently Robert Place, Paul Huson & Nigel Jackson all mentioned the Platonic aspects in the Tarot, I myself relate the three examples of Plato's pure forms, cup (circle/Sun), triangle (Moon) & table (square/Earth & its 4 directions & elements) to the cup, that only three legs of the table are shown on early cards & the table of the Magician, who as Hermes Trismegistus his glyph also includes the Sun, Moon & Earth the three spheres as the juggler he is master of, to give one example.
Truth of Tarot Ra is the entity that created the Major Arcana on Venus. Discover more,. Read the Emerald Tablets, Law of One, Seth, and there are many others who have this knowledge. If you watch this video, use it for the purpose of knowing what others came to believe and what you know as truth. I have listened and I find this information to be helpful. Love and light to all ❤
I love the tarot from Venus and Saint Germaines Tarot Deck is good, it's where the B.O.L. got their tarot idea designs. Ra fixed the first 7. The three keys books from eliphas Levi and his tarot are nice as well.
@@grantbishop1961 I am not sure you understood me. Ra,.. from our Egyptian history IS THE one who went to Venus,. Not sure how,. But nonetheless went to the planet Venus to create a way of communicating with the celestial entities for guidance to the human entities. Ra created the 22 major arcana and brought them to earth to be used. It is called the Hero”s Journey,. The cycles of life. I’m a tarot reader of over 35 years. I do not know of a venus deck. I’ll keep my eye out for it. Love and light to you my celestial sibling! ❤️❤️❤️ I don’t know what B.O.L . is. (And Ra fixed the first 7?) no idea what it refers to.

I wonder how someone could talk about the occult roots of Tarot without mentioning one of the most known and used Tarot deck. I speak about the Thoth Tarot created by Alistair Crowley.
Thats a 6 hour video in its own. LOL
@@johnnewton8017 ok, yes… thats a good point 😅
Lady Frieda Harris actually paid Crowley to do it as a means of teaching her and her sacred geometry is throughout the deck which is astonishing in it’s beauty and meanings that she has worked her paintings to perfection for the deck 💖
@@martiangentian As far as I know Crowley made her paint cards several times until he was satisfied. He had very explicit visions of the cards coz of all the different stuff they are mixing up
@@daanarchist6345 he did and she did it and she was a student of sacred geometry, it was a collaboration which is definitely more than the sum of its parts.

Occult Symbols = 179 = 8, English, In Chaldean = 49 = 4. Sumerian tablets = 179 = 8, English, In Chaldean = 49 = 4. Sumerian cuneiform alphabet found on Sumerian tablets. ( drutska / Adobe) The cuneiform script was inscribed on a variety of material, including stone, metal, and wood. The medium of choice for the Sumerians (as well as other civilizations that used this script), however, was the clay tablet. Using a stylus (commonly made of reed), a scribe Astronomical key = 181 = 1, English, In Chaldean = 49 = 4. (2nd key) There are Seven Keys of Interpretation, according to H. P. Blavatsky, for each symbol in esoteric philosophy. This applies not only to the writings coming from the esoteric philosophy, but also "to every other allegory whether in the Bible or in pagan religions". Blavatsky maintained that the exoteric religions had kept a few of these keys, "Eastern Occultism alone being able to boast that it is in possession of the full secret, with its seven keys". These keys, however, are kept secret by occultists: The Beast system = 181 = 1, English, In Chaldean = 49 = 4. (The Zodiac) Egypt's secrets = 181 = 1, English, In Chaldean = 49 = 4. CCXX XCIII DCLXVI = 182 = 11, English, In Chaldean = 49 = 4. The technical title of the book is Liber AL vel Legis, sub figura CCXX, as delivered by XCIII=418 to DCLXVI, although this title never occurs in the Book itself, which refers to itself as "the Book of the Law" and "the threefold Book of Law" (chapters 1:35, 3:75). CCXX is 220 in Roman figures, representing The Tree of Life (10 numbers times 22 paths), and is the number of verses of the Book in typescript. XCIII is 93, the enumeration of both "The word of the law" Thelema and Aiwass. DCLXVI is 666, the number of Crowley as Great Beast both as Adept and Magus. This is a way of saying that the book was delivered by Aiwass (whose number is both 93 and 418) to Crowley, who is The Beast 666. The facsimile manuscript of the Book is not, however, numbered 220, but XXXI (31) as the first chapter's verses are unnumbered in the original manuscript: that is, no verse numbers were dictated to Crowley for chapter one. Both editions were titled by Crowley AL, pronounced "El", value 31, so therefore Liber 31 is the manuscript of The Book of the Law called AL (not be confused with Liber 31 by C. S. Jones (Frater Achad), which is an exegesis of some of the qabalistic symbolism of the Book), whereas Liber 220 is the edited (strictly according to the editing instructions dictated as part of the text of the Book itself), printed form of the text: see The Equinox of The Gods for a full account by Crowley of the reception and publishing of the Book according to these internal instructions. The original title of the book was Liber L vel Legis. Crowley retitled it Liber AL vel Legis in 1921, when he also gave the handwritten manuscript its own title.

what are you talking about? this isn't numerology.. what is it you're attempting to say or describe here?
Need to take a deep dive into this.
Thank you, very much🥰🥰🥰
I really enjoyed this content and am thankful for the resources that are given. With the use of A.I. or not, this is a tight video essay.
pretty good vid. ever do anything on the keys of solomon ?
The titel should say: "origins of the British version of tarot" as far as tarot was prior original from other countries and because there are other versions as well. And C. Jung would mist agree with this.
Thankyou!
I am truly becoming impressed with each video you release. Never forget the integrity of what you do. Its never about how many subscribers you have. It’s about that special feeling you have in your heart. The genuine pursuit for truth. THAT is what the occult is about. If you put truth before the need for attention, god will bless you with great visions. Imagination. Inspiration. and intuition. ; )
I'm glad Pamela Coleman Smith, aka Pixie, is beginning to be recognized. Waite had no interest in Minor Arcana, so she was given free rein. As a result, it is far more interesting than the tired old stereotypes in the Major Arcana.
It most certainly is a tool. To give the subconscious it's due. Unless it's honored as it's true experience. It will always judged. A smorgasbord for those that due. The weaving of reality your desires as individual as we are. Within the point of colors ,customs and your interpretation. It can show black and white your self realization we are possibly not alone. A you me and us.
Great

The wise old man archetype fits more accurately with the Hermit.
Spot on 👌
I should have expected this was associated with Agrippa's Diary!
How do you know the book Antoine Court de Gebelin cited was on-existent? Even if it was never materialized on Earth. Or that he had no understanding of the Egyptian Language simply because mainstream hadn’t yet deciphered it? And who is to say it’s nowadays deciphering is accurate anyway? Plus anyone looking at tarot probably has some ability to channel meaning, especially through symbols. And the meaning is highly personal. It seems all too obvious to me that the tarot symbology would have Egyptian roots.
perpetual momentum 🕯️
The 20 major arcana of the Pamela Coleman Smith deck aare the 20 days, which are known globally,...the lesser cards 2 -10's are the 36 decans. Then the 12 sunsigns are the kings, queens and knights,...and the leftover 4 pages, ....may well be the four warning decans shown in redundancy. Ghandi was there in England in the early formation of the golden dawn, and he would have certainly known the decans. The tarot order I list here , correlates instantly with other more permanent sets of images and descriptors, but itself is not an elite level presentation of the days and decans..... Hokusai did way better and of course the Maya and Chinese have elite level sets, as do the Hindu. If someone does not know the 20 days,... they are not a source of knowledge on the topic of the tarot or how it also correlates with genesis, which follows the decans in order by chapter, starting over again at 37. Exodus follows the 20 days in precise order by chapter twice round . frogs are #8 and hail and Thunder are #9. pretty simple.
Great.
So i use to have what i called "senate meetings" with the major arcana if the tarrot. My hand writing would change when each archtype changed. It was a wierd process .
Wow. That was a euphoric experience ( if I smoked… I’d need a cigarette after this…) Thank you

Hi. What is the image at 7;33? I have seen the exact thing on medicine last week and now on your video. Omg
Hello. Are you talking about the image in the middle? Caduceus? It is a symbol for medicine, among other things.
One can only come to truth through revelation, no? Would it be incorrect to say that truth must first be veiled in darkness if it is to be brought beneath the spotlight? By this means would not the truth be undeniable upon its revelation? Truth being like that of sunlight. I would say Socrates was well aware of this, well Plato was anyway. This is my way of concurring with your closing statement. Thank you for the video.

I was under the impression the deck was used as a card game initially. This was great, thanks! I saw 2 examples of the great Wheel in this. Unfortunately for Jung, and all those who came before, its possible the veil has torn & fallen! That great wheel was recorded by every culture on earth, in prehistoric times! It was a gathering of planets, on different orbits, closer to earth & huge in the sky! Other events occurred as well, plasma discharges forming dragons, serpents & bizarre things carved in stone, petroglyphs & other art, in the sky!

35 seconds in and we already need Fact Checking: 1. The "human race" already knows how to read the "language of symbolism" because we invented it. 2. There is no "ancient esoteric tradition of the Tarot," because the Tarot was invented in Italy in 1452 as a game - hardly "ancient" and hardly a "tradition." 😂
15th century
550+ years ago qualifies as ancient to me. The most ancient would be cave drawings and carvings on mammoth bones, which are also fascinating.
@@leighharwood3886 @leighharwood3886 I'll give you that 550 + years is certainly old! But there are trees much older than that. The notion that tarot cards have "ancient" origins tracing back thousands of years to civilizations like Egypt is a popular myth, but one that lacks concrete historical evidence. While the tarot's imagery and symbolism incorporated elements like the Canaanite alphabet, the earliest documented tarot decks emerged in 15th century Renaissance Italy and were initially used for games and entertainment among the nobility. The claim of Egypt's influence was likely first popularized by Antoine Court de Gébelin in the 18th century, perhaps to generate interest from patrons like Louis XVI. However, the realistic "ancient" connection lies in the esoteric cosmological associations developed nearly centuries later by the French occultist Éliphas Lévi in the late 1800s. Lévi's seminal work reinterpreted the tarot through gnostic, Kabbalastic, and hermetic lenses, transitioning it from a parlor game to a mystical system rich in arcane symbolism. This sparked a modern esoteric revival, influencing the design and perception of tarot decks used for divination and personal exploration today. So while tarot cards hold symbolic ties to older traditions, claims of their "ancient Egyptian" pedigree appear to be more romantic exaggeration than historical fact. Their enduring cultural significance arises from their renaissance origins and their profound re-envisioning by influential occultists in more recent centuries.
I think that tarot came from ancient Egypt(Pharoah time n era) the Italians of rennaisance they just find them and started deal with them, cover them with the fashion and images of their time. Of course the passing of Egypt from the ancient religion on the Islam effected negative this tradition. Put it in the margin. Italians had bring them back in the light of the world! Hermes Trismegistus was an Egyptian priest of Thebes(the city of gods) in ancient Egypt, and profound figure so centures after him the occult that has tarot in the coronation!
@@OldAlbionSpyAgentHihi ''Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.'' So while such myths could be fun to entertain, one must also practice a healthy bit of scepticism and consider the source and possible motives for generating such interests. They've largely been popularized today by pseudoscientific American writers like Graham Hancock, who sprinkle fancy words like ''Younger Dryas'' to sound legit. One must also consider the character of those who generally fall prey to such beliefs, meanwhile bearing in mind the anatomy of mistrust, conspiracy theory, and fear.

It's precise birthplace is pre histroric Egypt. The Tarot was given to mankind by the Ra collective. It had 21 Major arcana plus the void. 22 cards. The numbers and suits were added by the Chaldeans and Sumarians. The Tarot was never intended for fortune telling, always being for the study of archeotypes. It is black magic to use the Tarot for fortune telling. It's why the church banned it.
This is what I was taught in a mystery school video✨🌟
Have you been to Egypt and seen the evidence? Can you send us to archeological evidence for the pre-historic tarot or the source of playing cards with the Chaldeans and Sumerians? Or do you just believe it was so? If it's just a belief you trust, then why isn't my trust just as valid as yours? I've been studying tarot for 56 years and traveled to many countries looking for actual evidence.
@@marygreer4036 Yes, the Egyptian Tarot exisits. Have you studied The Law Of One? If you haven't then you have not studied that hard really.
@fillyfresh Funny, you obviously don't know who you're replying to, do you?
@@martinwilliams9866 lol she even covers this herself on ther website but has missed the key evidence. How embarrasing!
