lecture five:

It would seem to me that the Major Arcana of the tarot speak to the Jungian archetypes; perhaps this is what the elusive Drew was trying to explain in the aeons ago that was last semester about the Tree of Life and how everything is so carefully linked, that I may have understood then but understand completely differently now. The collective unconscious, indeed, may emerge in places other than dreams; what, though, is divination as an art if it is not the interpretation of waking dreams? There exist the Fool, the Magician (wise man), the High Priestess (wise woman), the Emperor (animus), the Empress (anima), the Lovers, the Devil (or horned one, complete with playfulness); the collective unconscious divine, divining in conversation with the personal unconscious through the minor arcana and the ego through the interpreter a brief glimpse of time, awake.
