神話、圖像、與生命轉化：以偉特塔羅為例

神話不只是一種故事形式，它是人運用象徵表述心靈之見的敘事方法，它所承載的是意義。古人用神話來詮釋各種矛盾、不合理、無可理解的生命狀態，在神話中會以超越現實的敘事提供另一種理解生命的情境，並以各種象徵式的意象與語言傳達出模糊、多義與無法明說的意義。在探究存在、心靈、生命意義的不同領域，神話佔有重要的角色，也都拋出了現代人失去神話而產生的心理危機的問題。如何讓神話重新回到這時代的心靈，也成為靈性生活的重要探究方向。坊間被使用為占卜的塔羅牌，從十八世紀神秘學研究到二十世紀的靈性運動，成為表述精神與內在轉化的象徵媒介，這些圖像以人格化的構圖，展現了不可見的心靈世界。尤其是二十二張大秘牌，圖像依數字排列，並以文字標示出每張紙牌的主題，這些牌卡的組成，可形成一組個體內在的成長與轉變的生命敘事。這篇論文嘗試打破塔羅牌為占卜媒介的印象，介紹塔羅圖像的神話敘事模式，嘗試把艱澀的神秘學象徵，轉換為較普及的英雄敘事，把圖像轉譯為生活中的每個人所經歷的內在成長歷程，以及歷程中所追尋的意義向度。此研究期待從塔羅圖像的神話敘事，拓展塔羅圖像在教育領域上更多元的實踐與應用可能性。

並列摘要

Mythology is more than just a collection of stories; it serves as a narrative technique through which individuals use symbols to articulate their spiritual beliefs, conveying profound meaning in the process. How to bring mythology back to the mind of this era has also become an important research direction for spiritual practice. Tarot images have always been a symbolic medium to express spiritual and inner transformation from the study of occultism in the eighteenth century to the spiritual movement in the twentieth century. Especially for the twenty-two Major Arcana, the images are arranged according to numbers, and the theme of each card is marked with words. The composition of these cards narrates individual inner growth and transformation. This thesis attempts to break the impression that tarot cards are a medium of divination, introduces the mythological meaning of tarot images, attempts to convert difficult mystical symbols into more popular hero narratives, and translates images into the inner growth of everyone's journey, and the search for meaning. We look forward to expanding the practical possibility of Tarot in the field of education.
