Fourth corner-stone in Tarot’s occult though: Psychology

Case : 305. 
It is said that Swiss psychologist Carl Jung discovered “the internal Tarot” of the human mind with his notion of archetypes: with him, tarot was an underlying layer of the collective mind, which is where archetypes are printed —those fundamental images that constitute the psychic constellation of the human. They are psychological images, symbols we play with, in the same manner that the unconscious seems to play with its contents. They are combined in a certain way, and its different combinations correspond to a playful development of humankind’s history. This theory became now the most Γ -la-mode idea, followed by almost the tarot creator in this 20th century. It is not a lie to say that all deck in 20th century are in the influence of this idea, some ways. We can only present most related directly with this theory: Jungian Tarot of Robert Wang, published by Marcus Aurelius Press (1990) and Le Tarot des Archetypes of Bernard Chaumeil, published by Editions Tredaniel (2015).
