Journal: Arts Studies and Criticism DOI: 10.32629/asc.v5i6.3441
Abstract
This paper explore the healing power of tarot cards and the Eight Diagrams from the point of view of cultural convergence theory. The study examines how these ancient divination tools can promote cross-cultural understanding, enhance communication, and facilitate personal growth and healing. Through a review of literature and case studies, the paper argues that tarot cards and the Eight Diagrams can be effective tools for intercultural communication and self-reflection as they provide a common language and framework for understanding universal human experiences and emotions. The paper also discusses the potential challenges and limitations of using these tools in cross-cultural contexts and suggests strategies to overcome these barriers.
