Tarot and the Language of Myth

The Minor Arcana—Ace to Ten of Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles—once carried only simple markings. But in 1910, Pamela Colman-Smith and Arthur Waite brought these cards to life through imagery. This shift allowed people to engage with the cards more imaginatively, as stories and symbols rather than just numbers and suits.

In 1985, Liz Greene and Juliet Sharman-Burke deepened this development in The Mythic Tarot Deck by pairing each card with a Greek myth. These myths reflect the traditional divinatory meaning of each card and can be used across any Tarot deck. The suits—Fire, Water, Air, and Earth—also speak to the four functions Jung described: Intuition, Feeling, Thinking, and Sensation.

In this course, we explore the Minor Arcana of The Mythic Tarot Deck and the Sharman-Caselli Deck, which follows the more traditional Waite-Smith imagery. Each card is a window into the human experience. Through a psychological lens, and guided by myth, we will explore how the cards can support not just divination—but also reflection, self-understanding, and a connection to the elemental world.

Tarot as a Bridge

C. G. Jung believed that the health of the conscious mind depends on its connection to the unconscious. Symbols and myths, such as those found in Tarot, create that vital link. They invite movement between the known and the unknown, between the surface of life and the depths of soul.

You are invited to join us in this rich exploration, guided by the enduring wisdom of myth and the living language of the cards.
