Dr. Art Rosengarten is a Jungian-based psychologist in private practice in California for over 30 years. His book Tarot and Psychology: Spectrums of Possibility (Paragon House, 2000), is the primary text of this course and has been hailed “the third major book on Tarot from a Jungian perspective.”
Art is Owner/Moderator of the Yahoo Group TAROTPSYCH, a discussion and consciousness forum with a talented, growing, international membership of serious “tarotpsych” students and practitioners. Art's blog—FarSeeingArt-- is a playful archives of original Ideas, Musings, and CyberExperiments all with a timeless, spiritual flavor that can be viewed at: artrosengarten.wordpress.com. Art has taught The Los Angeles Tarot Circle since 1994, and has taught as Adjunct Psychology Instructor at several graduate schools in Southern California. As a poet, Art won The Consciousness Poetry Slam at Tucson 2 (1997): An International Science of Consciousness Mega-Conference, Sponsored by The University of Arizona. TNP—Art’s own controversial, unpublished deck (Tarot Of The Nine Paths) was digitally-crafted from Jungian sandplay miniatures to visually capture and illustrate Art's vision of an expanded Major Arcana based on the magical properties of the number 9, which he calls “The Hermit Effect.” TNP will be on permanent exhibit in New Orleans at the ‘Paraplex’ (A Paranormal Laboratory and Museum) within the ghost expedition extravaganza, The Haunted Mortuary (opening 2009). In late December, Art will also be presenting a special all day seminar in New Delhi, India, sponsored by the Tarot India Network, and commemorating the immanent printing and distribution of Tarot And Psychology, in India.
