The Art of the Descent into I - Kundalini Tarot

Antonin Tuynman PhD



I recently published my Tarot guide: "The Art of the Descent into I - Kundalini Tarot, A Jungian Mosaic of Shadow, Silence and Soul".

Here's the Blurb:
When the soul, abiding in infinity, is lured into the arduous journey through matter, it has no inkling of the tribulations and predicaments it will face. Yet, drawn like a moth to a flame, it descends through the layers of materiality - ether, fire, air, water, and finally earth - becoming solidified in physical incarnation.

Here, beneath the heavy veil of existence, the soul becomes ensnared in a treacherous web of desires, illusions, grief, and disappointment. After countless incarnations marked by hardship, it begins to yearn for a return to its divine, infinite origin. The Seeker - whether novice or adept - must still find their way through the labyrinth of material pitfalls, emotional maelstroms, mental tempests, scorching energies, and the mirages of false spirituality.

It is here that The Art of the Descent into I - Kundalini Tarot offers a map for navigating the inauspicious quagmire of being. Rooted in deep archetypal and mythological currents, and illuminated by Jungian synchronicities, it helps the querent uncover meaningful insights to dissolve confusion.

For this purpose, I have created both this book and the accompanying Tarot deck, essentially based on Crowley’s Thoth Tarot. They not only offer consolation and guidance through the dark night of the soul, but also provide practical tools for mapping the contours of our psychological landscape.

On one hand, the curious spiritual seeker will discover a wealth of material drawn from Kabbalah, Astrology, Mythology, and Psychology. On the other, the pragmatic soothsayer will find concise overviews and divinatory meanings for each card in every position of the Celtic Cross.

It is worth noting that this is not a manual for awakening or raising Kundalini. Rather, it is a guide for identifying the energetic, emotional, mental, material, and spiritual blockages that hinder the flowering of Consciousness.
Join me on this journey through Shadow, Silence, and Soul.
