Tending to Our Parts with Tarot

from The Tarot Diagnosis · host Shannon Knight

I’m doing something a little different this week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast! I’m re-releasing an episode from a few years ago on Tarot and Parts Work, where I get nerdy about the therapeutic model of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Jungian Depth Psychology through the lens of tarot.I have a few reasons for this: First, there’s been a surge of interest in this intersection, so I want to bring more visibility to the topic for newer listeners. Second, I’ll be traveling over the next few weeks and won’t be able to record a new episode. So, whether this is your first time listening or a revisit, I hope you find new insights in this conversation.🚨 Exciting Announcement! 🚨I’m hosting a Summer Solstice Summit from June 20th to 22nd, featuring more than two dozen of my favorite tarot and astrology practitioners! These are brilliant minds—therapists, psychologists, astrologers, and innovative tarot thinkers—coming together for a three-day immersive experience. I’ll be sharing more details soon, but for now, head over to TheTarotDiagnosis.com and click the Tarot Conferences tab to be the first to get updates!Now, back to this episode…During this episode, I explore and pull cards for different parts of ourselves—such as the exile, the firefighter, and the manager—while weaving in Jung's theory of the Self, the persona, and the shadow. I even share a personal example of an exile through the lens of the Eight of Swords, and I spend time processing The Eight of Cups and The Lovers. Plus, I discuss how The High Priestess is the most fitting archetype to represent the Self.Let me know what cards show up for you as you pull alongside me!🔮 Decks used: Pagan Otherworlds & Tarot Vintage💡 Have a topic you’d love to hear about?
