7 8 www.mermaidtype.xyz About Mermaid Type Tarot

The Mermaid Type Tarot and the PARTY Edition are inspired by the beauty of relationships and depth psychology. The deck is a collection of 78 artworks that include photos, sculptures, paintings, digital art, and drawings. The complete type set has numbers 0-9, uppercase and lowercase a-z, and basic punctuation. The PARTY Edition features full images while the original deck hides some of the pictures in the letter and number silhouettes. Tarot has five suites, and they are divided into four minor arcana and one major arcana. The guidebook offers suggested interpretations and instructions. Interpreting tarot cards is a creative form of reading, self-reflection, and entertainment. As you look at each card, any element can potentially spark meaning. A color, for example, can be read as blue water in the ocean or blue air in the sky. The goal is to find what feels right to you. Many people use tarot to go deeper into their own psyche and enjoy the practice of sharing their Truth together with this popular tool. Everything you need is already inside, but intuitive sparks ignite from the images, facial expressions, postures, colors, and materials present in tarot cards. The practice is to activate your imagination and gain insight with subtle energy signals through color, symbol, and pure intention. Explore and identify ideas about your past, present, and future. Reflect assimilate and integrate associations with the frequency of colors and the whispers of the mermaid language. Remember your associations with numbers and letters and watch for patterns of information. This is about knowing your Truth. I encourage you to follow your intuition and research on what inspires you to want to learn more. You can follow Mermaid Type Tarot on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. There are recommended resources and virtual workshops at www.mermaidtypetarot.com. Please check out the videos on the history of tarot and beyond online if you want to explore it in depth.

9 Tarot and the individual

Do you know who you are? If you seek to know who you are, tarot is a tool to help you on a psychological journey of individuation. The word individuation comes from Swiss psychologist Carl Jung. It means to become an ‘in-dividual,’ and to embrace incomparable uniqueness. Individuation is about ‘coming into selfhood’ or ‘self-realization.’ In this sense, the Self needs a capital S as it resembles a wholeness that is like the concept of God. All people travel the road of Self-discovery and individuation, and each path is unique. I can share with you part of my journey. My first encounter with tarot happened in college, around 2002. Inspired by a class project with Carl Jung’s book, Man and His Symbols, I memorized the tarot cards and started reading fortunes. Within a year, I was reading regularly at house parties and special events. I love reading cards because it is emotionally and creatively magical for myself and others.

A tarot reading can reveal secrets and offer meaningful insights. Success is about discovering many new and desirable possibilities, not about having to find one right answer.

In addition to this guidebook, other knowledge traditions such as astrology, Wicca, and numerology can be useful when reading cards. Calendar dates can be significant because of their connection to events. For example, one memorable event is a day we are born. Imagine you pull a card with the number 17 on it, and you were born on the 17th. How might this card reading be something extra special for you? Names are also meaningful. If I pull an M card from the deck, I might associate it with myself, Mitra, or mythology. It’s in the power of the individual to make meaning. My name comes from ancient mythology. The Mitra-Veruna twin deities are individual yet complementary as solar-lunar deities. The day is of Mitra, and the night is of Varuna. My name calls attention to the deeper pattern in my creative life purpose. I have a drive for balancing and uniting opposing forces.

10 www.mermaidtype.xyz The Mermaid Type is a balance of my artistic strengths and vulnerabilities as a dyslexic person. Mermaids are powerful in their watery element. However, out of their element, they are immobilized. Likewise, my experience with words is one of feeling extreme opposites. Many people can relate to feeling unbalanced. A psychologist told me, as a child, that art was my best option because I would not be able to do anything else in life. It was devastating news, and ironically my career has proved the opposite to be true. Dyslexia has not held me back from achieving my goals. I now see vulnerabilities as a source of strength as they teach us resilience and patience, which are practical life skills. Finding balance is an art that all people must learn. The challenge of creative individuals living today is to balance. Over the years of reading, I noticed how many people come to tarot with questions about love and relationships. I struggle to keep a healthy balance in my close ties too. One day, while talking to my then-boyfriend about mermaid sightings, I found an old black and white print of a mermaid couple that seemed to be arguing online. The image captured my attention, and I decided to work with the image in my art. I was in a depth psychology MA program at the time and wanted to try a therapeutic technique called, sticking to the image. I understand that when people are stuck in limiting patterns, it can be helpful to expand the vision with this method. I started by drawing the same mermaid couple in different letter shapes, and more diversity emerged as the alphabet developed into numbers and special characters. Mermaid Type is my image of balance, interconnection, and wholeness. I see this deck as a holographic image with repeating patters from the micro to macro level. Each letter card is a complete character, and together they make a language tool open to infinite possibility. I believe these mermaids have new stories to tell and that they want to collaborate with you. Let the letters come alive. They can move and dance as you look within to read the cards. It is my sincere wish that this tarot deck is a tool to help you balance and explore your infinite potential in a safe space. Thank you to all who supported the first edition print of the Mermaid Type Tarot project, and that is you too! - Mitra
