Archetypal Tarot

[Guest guest]

30th October 1999

Dear Jung-Fire Friends,

In response to the invitation from Mike Dickman to join this list I would

like to announce the following Project - which can feed into the collective

Fire of the List. But before doing so I would like to share the following

quotation:

" Jung once remarked that his life's work has been to encircle the " central

fire " with a series of mirrors but that necessarily there were gaps where

the mirrors met. "

Rose F. Holt, Review of 'The New God-Image' by Edinger, in: The

Roundtable Review, Jan/Feb. 1999, p. 11

Part of my ongoing work, which has been based upon the Hermetic

transmission, alchemy, and Jungian and Post-Jungian schools for over 27

years - has now reached a stage of pre-publication - the discipline from

which I started was Art History - and the overall matrix on which I have

based my research - is the Tarot, in a neo-Jungian manner of speaking!

This is to annouce a NEW NEWSLETTER - and WEBSITE: T.A.T. - THE ARCHETYPAL

TAROT

This Newsletter and Website - will contain my personal research into the

Sacred Tarot over the past 30 years. Development of this site will take

place slowly, and according to organic growth. At present I have placed the

entire Tarot of Mantegna images here -

The Newsletter and Site will also include references to Tarot Sites,

Bibliography and Other Material - plus the Archives of the T.A.T.

Newsletter - I am also keen to build a database on The History of the Tarot.

The Newsletter will be posted at very irregular periods - and will not

burden your incoming mail folder.

CONSULATATION - QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS - Unfortunately, time does not allow

for many personal consulations - except a few appointments in person, or

if need arises, via email. Nevertheless - open ended - QUESTIONS AND

ANSWERS - on the Macrocosmic Nature of the Tarot and its Microcosmic

application to the individual will be dealt with in the Newsletter. In

other words, feel free to answer questions.

If the volume increases to such an extent - I will transform the project

into an automated Discussion Forum.

The System used will be the Egyptian Tarot, as published by The Church of

Light, in the book 'The Sacred Tarot' by C.C.Zain.

The Church of Light has a Website at: http://www.light.org - which was

shuttered for reconstruction the last time I visited it. Though, other

systems will be refered to.

This will be the only mailing on the subject.

If you wish to receive the Archetypal Tarot Newsletter - please email me

at: assa@...

and you address will be placed on the list.

News about the T.A.T. Project will also be posted on my general Uroboros

Newsletter - where in any event, you can follow developments.

Yours sincerely,

Samten de Wet.
