Correction

I had to make a correction to my original post. The "Ludovica" image of the 12th trump of the tarot is not from an actual tarot deck. It is an individual painting. I made an error in assuming it was from a deck. Please forgive me. The painting was so beautiful, I thought it was from a full deck. In my opinion, this artist should make a deck of her own.

That being said, I still believe that these images, as archetypes, become memes in the collective consciousness, and can cause problems for sensitive people. Hence my conflict. While I love the artwork, it seems that it has had an effect on my life, before I ever saw the tarot, and it certainly had an effect on my mother's life, and she never saw the tarot.
