Bridging Two Worlds
The mystical traditions of tarot and astrology have long been viewed through the lens of divination and prediction. However, a psychological approach reveals their true power as maps of the human psyche, tools for self-discovery, and frameworks for understanding the complexities of consciousness.
Carl Jung, the pioneering depth psychologist, recognized that mystical systems contain universal symbols and archetypes that resonate with our collective unconscious. These symbols provide a language to access parts of ourselves that might otherwise remain hidden.
At Dragon Divine Tarot, The Dragon integrates contemporary psychological understanding with ancient mystical wisdom to create a transformative approach to personal growth, shadow integration, and psychological healing.
