This chapter from a more substantial work on Oracular Devices relates how the representation of ideas accelerated during this period. And how some cosmological models were outlined. It suggests how the invention of printing led to a boom not only in literary and philosophical works but also in cultural products as diverse as music, playing cards and pornography. It is also concerned with a few of the ideas that later gained importance in occult uses and interpretation of Tarot.","author":[{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Person","name":"Thomas

However, the Tarot cards have changed in form and function since their first appearance during the early Renaissance. 1 For at least five centuries, the Tarot has tenaciously survived the condemnation of church, the persecution of state and the ridicule of academia. 2 Whereas, most contemporary literature on Tarot, aims to interpret the occult significance of each card placing exclusive emphasis on the divinatory meanings, this research does not follow the standard pattern, for it is fundamentally ethnographic in its assumption. 3 This dissertation aims to research the form, symbolic artistic imagery (iconography), and related meanings (iconology), of the Rider-Waite-Smith 4 deck of Tarot cards, which have remained relatively similar to previous decks with some alterations throughout five-hundred years, until the late-twentieth century with the proliferation of New-Age decks. Art historians focus on the artistic significance of the cards within the context of the specific period and cultural milieu they were created in, scholars of western esotericism focus on occult significances and historians of games focus on the decks' multifaceted history. 5 The goal of this study, which is interdisciplinary in its essence, considering its association to Art History and Material Folk Culture, is to decipher the underlying meaning of the symbols, iconography and iconology according to Art History theories and the Jungian Psychological School of Thought utilized in Folklore. Therefore, the focus of this research is on the cards from the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot deck, considered one of the last classic Tarot decks, by deciphering its artistic and symbolic meanings, all the while relating to older classical Tarot decks, since they are founded on adaptations of and inspirations from, the decks that came before. 6 In the Confucian sense, Tarot provides the advantage of the thousand words each picture is worth, being easily adaptable because it is inherently neutral and doctrinally foundationless. It carries no particular allegiance to any system of belief, which postulates an exclusive claim on truth or reality. 7</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"The Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot Deck A Study in Icon \u0026 Iconography \u0026 Iconology According to Art History Theories and Jungian Archetypes","attachmentId":69711725,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/52457330/The_Rider_Waite_Smith_Tarot_Deck_A_Study_in_Icon_and_Iconography_and_Iconology_According_to_Art_History_Theories_and_Jungian_Archetypes","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/52457330/The_Rider_Waite_Smith_Tarot_Deck_A_Study_in_Icon_and_Iconography_and_Iconology_According_to_Art_History_Theories_and_Jungian_Archetypes"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="2" data-entity-id="74400316" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/74400316/Further_context_for_the_Tarot">Further context for the Tarot</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="120095557" href="https://independent.academia.edu/ThomasTaylor50">Thomas Taylor</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">After their invention in Italy the Tarot follow the same route as the composer Giovanni Battista Lulli, to Paris.

Both the revived Original Christian rule "Love your Enemy" and the "As Above so Below" of the Hermetic philosophy were based on the desire to overcome conflicting concepts. In the search for the inner balance of all forces, Christian practitioners, natural philosophers and alchemical scientists found their essential common ground.

By examining the evolution of the World card, from the 14th century Italian decks to contemporary ones, we will see a shift from male Christ imagery to female anima mundi imagery. Parallel to this iconographic shift is the figure of Mary Magdalene, who in Renaissance painting began to be portrayed less as a sinner and more of a penitent saint. The assumption of Mary Magdalene in art correlates with the finalized form of the World card. The alterations of Christian iconography and symbolism in Tarot cards are the result of occultists’ reappropiation of the Tarot in the late 1700s. The fear/distrust/disbelief of God and Christianity that began at this time funneled into an interest in the occult; in the Tarot, we see a preservation of the luminous but a problematic relationality with Christianity. The World card, as it has been handed down to us today, is a synthesis of the assumption of Mary Magdalene, the Christus Victor, and the anima mundi.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Tarot and Christian Iconography: World and Magdalene ","attachmentId":35189261,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/8851376/Tarot_and_Christian_Iconography_World_and_Magdalene","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/8851376/Tarot_and_Christian_Iconography_World_and_Magdalene"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="7" data-entity-id="36361347" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/36361347/The_Pictorial_Key_to_the_Tarot">The Pictorial Key to the Tarot</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="80343570" href="https://independent.academia.edu/AlejandraCajade">Alejandra Cajade</a></div><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"The Pictorial Key to the Tarot","attachmentId":56270531,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/36361347/The_Pictorial_Key_to_the_Tarot","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/36361347/The_Pictorial_Key_to_the_Tarot"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="8" data-entity-id="4161198" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/4161198/The_Uncertain_Predictor_Italo_Calvino_s_Castle_of_Tarot_Cards">The Uncertain Predictor: Italo Calvino’s Castle of Tarot Cards</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="26957" href="https://buffalo.academia.edu/JosephConte">Joseph Conte</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Literature and Science (Rodopi Perspectives on Modern Literature 14).
