A provoking how-to with a dash of stirring tarot philosophy for both new and seasoned diviners.
Tarot and the Psychology of the Soul establishes how we can view the cards as reflections of the psyche via depth psychology, guiding listeners through how to use the cards for inner work to answer the question: How am I meant to live?
Rather than tarot cards being used to solve our meaninglessness and confusion, they can help mend a divide between the conscious and unconscious sides of the psyche. Depth psychology unveils the road into the wilderness of the unconscious, showing us how to listen to the insights of dreams, the whispers of the shadow, and the longings of the essential self.
Mariana Louis delivers principles that tarotists can return to again and again. She guides beginners and established practitioners alike in discovering how the cards innately reflect the psyche and the archetypes—both key to transformative inner work.
While founded on scholarship, Tarot and the Psychology of the Soul has a style that is both intimate and encouraging, motivating listeners to discover the true power of tarot and the wisdom they carry within. Throughout the audiobook, Mariana offers psycho-spiritual meanings and approaches to the major and minor arcana, a breakdown of how to apply what listeners have learned, and guidance on preparing for readings and understanding how the cards communicate.
Uncover your inherent power and your authentic self with this Jungian-inspired guide to tarot.

This is not a typical look-up-the-definition-of-the-card book. I am a huge fan of Jungian psychology as it relates to Tarot and so I’m over the moon that Mariana took the time to lay the ground work to help us understand the “key tenets of Jungian thought”…and depth psychology. Once we have an understanding of Jung’s thought process, we begin our journey on the path to finding our authentic self. This, then, is where tarot can help us on our quest to self-discovery. We learn that Tarot can be more than cards and a guidebook of meanings…but a deeply profound tool that can take us to ever deeper understanding of ourselves and to help us answer the question, “how am I meant to live.” In the beginning of the book, Mariana writes of Tarot: “Essentially, we do not want the cards to tell us how to live, but to help us trust how we live.” This is a powerful book that allows us a more intimate relationship and more spiritual partnership with the cards that ultimately, if we’re diligent, patient, and contemplative…can lead to a better understanding of self & Self. For those who prefer a “guidebook”, the book begins on page 70 (of Kindle) for deeper reflection into the cards. The way she describes and explains the Major/Minor/Court cards, I believe it helps you intuitively understand the card, with a more heart centered meaning for you. She touches on the importance of numerology, as well as the feminine and masculine energies of the cards. If you are looking to go to a higher level in your Tarot studies and perhaps get closer to your soul/self, this is the book to read!

Absolutely wonderful content BUT WHY THE AI COVER??? It all blurry and messy. You could have done better.

Let me just say… for someone who has stepped into the world of Tarot and knowing a bit if nothing about tarot.. this has definitely helped to look at it in a different perspective.
I absolutely love this book and would absolutely recommend it.
Audiobook format is A+ ♥️

Beautiful book on archetypal tarot that dives into the psyche. Would definitely recommend.
Jung At Heart –
The absolute best tarot book I own. It’s truly a complete course on archetypal Jungian-based tarot. It’s beautifully written and presented and covers all aspects of the individuation process. Tarot is viewed and approached through the lens of the conscious and unconscious meeting through the tension of the opposites. An honor to own, a pleasure to read, and a book I’ll return to over and over again.
A Happy Reader –
This is an amazing book on Tarot, for both beginners and “old hands” in working with symbol systems for spiritual development. The author, Mariana Louis (who I’ve had the privilege of learning from through her online school Persephone’s Sister) has presented the reader with a guidebook on how to use tarot as a means of journeying deep into the realms of the soul. This is no cookbook, but a carefully curated map for traveling deep into the realm of archetypal knowledge and wisdom, holding up mirrors of self discovery for fellow soul-travelers. This study is for adventurers who are eager to delve into the limitless mysteries of the psyche. Mariana’s book is a masterful guide on using the medium of tarot for self- knowledge and transformation. If you buy only one tarot book this year, you won’t be disappointed with this choice. Thank you Mariana for distilling your years of study and soul discovery here in this brilliant book for our benefit!

Great book good read

There are very few people that I trust in the world of Tarot, and Mariana is one of them. I’ve taken a couple of her courses over the last two years, and her approach to teach and help one absorb the meaning of the cards and interpretation is by far the best I have experienced. I am only about 20 pages in, but I can tell already, this book is going to become my holy grail of all things tarot. Highly recommend for those that want an in depth, but approachable and digestible guide book and reference!!
