Work with the “darchetypes” of your shadow self through the tarot

• Uses alchemical reconciliation through opposition to illuminate the shadows in our lives for a more complete sense of self

• Explores the dark side of the Major and Minor Arcana where the Fool becomes Hubris, the Magician becomes the Manipulator, and the Empress becomes the Cannibal Mother

• Offers techniques and card spreads to investigate the “darchetypes” that lurk in our personal and collective unconscious

As a tool for shadow work and divination, this deck gives methods to see through the blind spots of ordinary tarot readings into the heart of what is often hidden.

Using Hermetic principles, Maja D’Aoust defines oppositional energies as they relate to the cards of the tarot. With the alchemical method of reconciliation through opposition, she looks deeper into the familiar meanings of the Major and Minor Arcana to give readers insight into the shadow energies at work in their lives to reveal a path toward wholeness. By inverting the archetypes, Maja opens portals of understanding to the bad behaviors that we often attempt to conceal, repress, or deny. Shadow forms of the Minor Arcana are represented in a suit of cups that includes toxic family, gluttony, addiction, and betrayal. In the suit of wands, the dark side of our drives and passions are exposed in cards like propaganda, slander, martyrdom, and avoidance. Working with our secret shadows can reveal deeper truths and renew your vigor to experience reality. Maja’s techniques and card spreads offer unique methods to investigate and understand the hidden “darchetypes” that root us to the underworld and our ancestors.

The Shadow Seer Tarot gives readers an increased awareness of their unconscious dark side for a balanced perception of the world and a more complete sense of self.
