There have been several attempts to create 'Jungian' Tarot decks. For example:

Jung himself didn't say or know much about the tarot, although he recognized that the cards represented archetypal principles - he was much more interested and experienced with the I Ching.

Tarot and the Archetypal Journey, the Jungian Path from Darkness to Light by Sallie Nichols

Hi Lemonjub,

You're right, most of the book is about the card meanings. There is a very last chapter called "On spreading the cards" which goes over system the author uses to do a reading for herself. But yes, the majority of the book is more about card meanings fro a Jungian perspective.

To give you a sense of the content in the last chapter, here is the first paragraph --

"In the previous chapters we discussed the symbolism of the Tarot and suggested some techniques for using the cards to help us in our daily lives. Another way to use the Tarot for personal insight and growth is to spread and "read" the cards. When reading the cards, we ask a questions, then deal a specific number of cards in a given pattern and study their symbolism and relationship to one another in order to find an answer to our question. Here, we shall discuss the philosophical implications of spreading the cards, some techniques for interpreting their answers, and suggest one method of laying out the cards for this purpose."

Hope that helps!

Psycards are based on Jungian archetypes, but they aren't Tarot cards. There are 40 symbol cards and no suits. They seem to be unavailable at the moment, though, the website is "under construction" and the Facebook group seems to have gone quiet.

Thanks, Mindbender. What exactly is a reading with these cards like? Is the purpose to identify which archetypes rule the 'querent'? I assume the purppose isn't to tell the future.

Thanks again.

No, Psycards are used in a very similar way to Tarot cards.

Are there any books on how to give readings using Jungian interpretations of the tarot cards?

All I can find are books explaining that certain cards represent certain archetypes, but little to explain how to give a reading based on that.

There is a book by Lewis L Val on this subject.

Can you tell me the name of the book please? I am a huge fan of Le Val and would love another read from him.
