AlbakiReads Editorial A Jungian guide to the symbolic world of the Xultun Tarot
A Jungian guide to the symbolic world of the Xultun Tarot
Created as a companion to the Xultun Tarot Classic Edition, this guide examines the deck’s major arcana through Maya history and culture, indigenous teachings, alchemical symbolism, and C. G. Jung’s analytical psychology. The Xultun deck’s cards originate in a single painting and are presented here as one interconnected image rather than isolated emblems. Owen uses that composition to explore the symbolic joining of spirit and matter and Jung’s concept of individuation, while also addressing interpretations of 2012. With its sustained attention to the cards’ imagery and archetypes, the book is designed as an interpretive resource for engaging with this particular tarot deck.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Owners or prospective users of the Xultun Tarot Classic Edition
- Tarot practitioners interested in major-arcana symbolism
- Readers interested in Jungian psychology, alchemy, and Maya-inspired imagery

THE MAYA BOOK OF LIFE: UNDERSTANDING THE XULTUN TAROT is the companion book to the Xultun Tarot Classic Edition. It explores the archetypes and alchemy of the major arcana of the Xultun Tarot through indigenous teachings and the analytical psychology of C G Jung and casts new light on the meaning of 2012. The Xultun Tarot was created by Peter Balin in 1976 based on images from Maya history and culture. Taken from a single painting, it is the only tarot deck where the major arcana form a complete picture. This picture is a symbolic image of the alchemical marriage of spirit and matter and a map of what Jung called the individuation process. Only 500 copies of the original Xultun Tarot were ever printed. Now Kahurangi Press (xultun.com) has recreated this classic, long out-of-print deck true to its original large size and vibrant colours together with a book that explains the profound symbolism of the cards. Michael Owen is a clinical psychologist in private practice and author of Jung and the Native American Moon Cycles. He lives in New Zealand.
