This is a preview of my Tarot Exegesis series, which analyzes every card of the Major Arcana. I've created this multi-part series as supplemental material to the main Tarot series.

Each episode is an in depth exploration of the symbolism and psychological significance of several cards. On this preview I explore The Emperor & The Lovers (Major Arcana cards IIII & VI).

When did the Tarot begin? Can it be traced back to Egypt or is it more recent in origin?

The Tarot is a tradition with a varied reputation, over centuries it has been labeled: a card game, a divination tool, a creation of the devil, and a spiritual book of wisdom. What is it about the Tarot's symbolism that provokes so much emotion out of us? We will explore the cards through the theories of Dr. Carl Jung to find out.
