Tarot of the Unconscious

Uncovering the Hidden Link Between Psychoanalysis and the Cards
When author and longtime tarot reader and teacher Aliza Einhorn returned to school in order to become a psychoanalyst, she thought that she would have to put divination behind her. Instead, she discovered new insights regarding tarot and intuition. The result is Tarot of the Unconscious: Uncovering the Hidden Link Between Psychoanalysis and the Cards.
“No matter if you’re new to tarot or an old hat like me, Einhorn’s thoughtful approach will help you break away from stuffy traditional meanings and develop your own deeply intuitive relationship with the cards.” —Theresa Reed, author of The Book of Astrological Returns

Inspired by Sigmund Freud and the deep-diving talk therapy of psychoanalysis, Tarot of the Unconscious is a unique exploration of the tarot. Author Aliza Einhorn brings a rare perspective to the subject, both as a seasoned tarot professional and a psychoanalyst-in-training, probing the uncanny correspondences between the mysterious tarot and the groundbreaking ideas of Freud. Einhorn created new tarot spreads especially for this book—and offers interpretations of each, teaching readers how to interpret cards as well as how to hone and rely upon their intuition. Further, Einhorn guides readers to bravely create their own spreads.

Tarot of the Unconscious is suitable for tarot readers of any level—transforming nervous tarot novices into confident, creative tarot practitioners, while offering new thought-provoking perspectives to seasoned tarot experts as well.
