Mapping the Soul Through Tarot: The Hero's Journey Within
In Mapping the Soul Through Tarot: The Hero’s Journey Within, teacher and mystic Evan McDermod invites you to rediscover the Tarot as a tool for self-realization, archetypal reflection, and mythic remembrance.
Drawing upon the wisdom of the Rider–Waite system, Jungian psychology, and the timeless cycle of the Hero’s Journey, this guide transforms the Tarot into a mirror of your own becoming.
Through poetic narrative and practical application, you’ll explore:
- 🜂 The Major Arcana as the Soul’s Mythic Arc — each of the 22 archetypes aligned with the stages of the Hero’s Journey, from The Fool’s leap of faith to The World’s return to wholeness.
- 🜄 The Minor Arcana as the Four Elemental Paths — Fire, Water, Air, and Earth as living energies within you, revealed through every Ace, Court Card, and numbered card.
- 🜁 The Art of Archetypal Reading — learning to ask mythic questions, interpret symbolically, and read your own consciousness through the cards.
- 🜃 The Hero’s Journey Spread & Daily Practices — meditations, rituals, and journaling techniques to integrate the Tarot as a spiritual discipline.
- 🌌 The Living Tarot — a closing invocation to embody the archetypes as forces moving through your own life story.
Whether you’re a beginner seeking spiritual connection or an adept looking to deepen your mythic understanding, this guide offers a complete initiation into Tarot as sacred mirror and the art of living symbolically.
A complete Tarot initiation — every card, every element, and a Hero’s Journey spread to help you read not the future, but the unfolding myth of your becoming.
