Sections : The Major Arcana and The Minor Arcana.

The word "Arcanum" means Profound Secret.

these peoples as a way to Chart their Important

There are Twenty two cards in the Major

Arcana, also known as Trumps. Each card,

numbered 0 through XXI, relates to an

Aspect of the Human Psyche. Beginning with

The Fool's Journey and ending with the Unification

of the image of The World, the Trump cards

express each Aspect of the Soul's Journey from

Infancy to Maturity to Wisdom and

Ultimate integration with the Whole.

While the Major Arcana expresses Universal Themes,

the Minor Arcana brings those themes down

into the Practical arena to show how they

operate in Daily events. The Minor Arcana cards

represent the Concerns, Activities and Emotions

that make up the Dramas of our Everyday Lives.

There are 56 cards in the Minor Arcana

divided into Four Suits:

Wands (or Staffs) - Passion

Cups - Moods, Emotion

Swords - Mentality

and

Coins (or Pentacles) - Spirituality, Higher Purpose.

type of Power in of themselves. They are

Journey told in Pictures. It is up to the Individual

Readers to read and Interpret the cards

and to Modify that Interpretation to fit

the Question being asked.

The Tarot cards are shuffled and layed out

in a "Spread". A spread can consist of

One card to all Seventy Eight cards in the deck.

There are many types of Spreads, as are there

many ways of Interpretting each Spread.

Most Readers generally work with three to

five different kinds of Spreads that they

Individually prefer to work with.

Matter and the Spirit Interact in and with each

other. People are interested in the Tarot because

Answers in Life, but I thought that
