{Freud and the Tarot}[18th June 1988]


[Redbook5:172][19880618:2242]{Freud and the Tarot}[18th June 1988]

.2242

I have been surprised by the complete absence from works by or about Jung which I have read so far* of any mention of the Tarot, and the lack of overall interest in Astrology (but there is still much left to read: about 97%!

But I am intrigued to read that Freud used to play Tarok, ***a card game which uses the Greater Tarots as well as some of the lesser (including all 16 court cards). Cards are laid out in 2 rounds of 8 (does this mean circles? – presumably not!), between which 6 are laid face down as a 'window' (=?).

****Did Jung play Tarok with Freud? <891010>
