Welcome to Nicole Green Tarot
Psychologically Informed Explorations of Tarot Symbolism
Welcome to Nicole Green Tarot, a space for serious, symbolic, and psychologically informed engagement with the tarot. As anyone who has more than a passing acquaintance with the tarot knows, it is not merely a divination tool. It is a visual link directly to the depths of the human psyche. On this site, we treat the tarot not as a machine for prediction, but as a lantern and a landscape; a source of illumination and a rich terrain for exploration.
The Lantern
Each card in the tarot sheds light on some aspect of the self. It may reflect what you already sense but haven’t yet been able to articulate. It may draw attention to a possibility or a tension you hadn’t noticed. The light is not indifferent or clinical; it is symbolic light that illuminates inner meanings in their own time. The tarot helps us to see, not just to answer.
The Landscape
The world of the tarot is not a fixed system but a living symbolic landscape. It changes as you walk through it. Each reader engages with it differently, bringing their own history, instincts, and imagination into dialogue with the archetypes. The proliferation of decks in recent years shows how alive this symbolic terrain remains. From the medieval Visconti-Sforza to the Marseille, Rider-Waite-Smith, Thoth, and countless contemporary variations, each artist adds new contours to the shared terrain.
The blog is the heart of this project. We’ll take deep dives into individual cards, compare how different decks portray the same archetypes, and explore relationships between cards across spreads and contexts. We’ll also look at the books, both popular and obscure, that have kept this symbolic tradition alive across generations. The tarot images and the varied reflections on them are not a closed book, but a conversation that bridges time and culture. Here, we join that conversation.
I also offer a small number of private readings rooted in this symbolic perspective, not to tell your future, but to help you see more clearly the patterns, options, and meanings already present in your life. These are in-depth, reflective sessions focused on insight rather than outcome.
Whether you're just beginning or returning for a deeper pass through the landscape, I hope you find something here that invites you into closer relationship with the symbols and with yourself.
Warmly,
Nicole
