He believed that the imagery found in tarot could serve as a mirror to the subconscious and help bring to light the archetypes that play a significant role in the human experience. Jung’s concept of individuation – the process of integrating the conscious with the unconscious – aligns well with the principles of the 12 steps, which aim to bring about a personal transformation through self-awareness and a spiritual awakening.
