The Mythic Tarot is a psychological approach to Tarot.

The Greek Myths have been given a psychological interpretation and Dr Liz Greene and Juliet Sharman-Burke have omitted some of the obscure symbolism to be found in other decks.

The Major Arcana are seen as functions of the individual psyche.

Many Tarot decks are looking towards outer events, what is happening now in your life and what is going to happen in the future. The Mythic Tarot looks at the inner states that are causing the outer events to happen, and how to make inner changes that will influence future events.

For the ancient Greeks, Fate was the result of choices made over time. Liz Greene writes:

'If we focus only on the physical manifestation of the complex we might become well versed in prediction but we have also ensured we are fated, as there is no consciousness of the energy pattern at work inside and therefore no chance to make a relationship with it'.
