Week One will provide an explanation of the Jungian perspective on signs and symbols, viewing Tarot as a set of dynamic and personalized messages. Study of Tarot’s symbolic foundation will begin that week, as well, with examples from both the Major and the Minor Arcana of how shared symbol structures often reveal totally different messages. This will be illustrated by the triangular structure often seen in the Major Arcana, and by the divine gift symbolism of the four Aces. In the nine remaining weeks, the rest of the 78 cards will be viewed, with a different category of symbols highlighted each week.
