Tarot and Individuation
A Jungian Study of Correspondences with Cabala, Alchemy, and the Chakras
This profusely illustrated book is one of the most complete explorations of the symbolism within the 22 major arcana of the tarot. Gad's amplification of the tarot's cabalistic and alchemical symbolism reveals the wisdom of ages of seekers who have gone before us, leaving us this roadmap to individuation and spiritual attainment. This new revised edition includes a new preface and a section on Kundalini Yoga and the correspondences of the major arcana with the chakras.
With the 79 layouts in this book, it provides a tool for maintaining the well-being of the energetic body as well as the spiritual and psychological.
