Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books

Complete Book of Tarot: In my late teens, I started reading Freud and Jung and became fascinated with dream symbols and psychological archetypes. My study of the celestial science resonated with what these two great psychologists had to say. In my own experience, Jungs writings made sense regarding the contents of the collective unconscious. The same images that populated mythology, religion, and world literature cropped up in astrology and tarot. The symbolism shared by psychology, psychoanalysis, and astrology held my attention throughout my studies.
