Introduction

WoCo Tarot is a blog about the nature of tarot, the practice of card reading, and the meaning we ascribe to interpretation and intuition.  There's a lot of power in these little cards, and although I'd consider myself an amateur card reader, I've already seen how influential and clear tarot can be. 

Carl Jung said tarot cards contain archetypal images that are present within the collective unconsciousness.  One card reader, Sandy Anastasi, theorized that tarot cards were once an essential part of training to be a psychic (a word I'm not particularly fond of).  Her idea is that learning to recognize the images on the cards and understand their meaning allows one to see these images in life as second nature.  Imagine being able to pick apart elements of real life or a dream and give them greater meaning, using some sort of heightened intuition.  Amazing.

I'm interested in these kinds of discussions and the potential of tarot.  If anything interests the reader, feel free to comment and share.
