Major Arcana The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards which are numbered from 0 to 21. They show the Fool's Journey, which is the path we take from our earliest awareness to finally becoming integrated and fulfilled. Each card represents one step along the journey of inner growth. This journey starts with the Fool, then proceeds to the Magician, the High Priestess, the Empress, the Emperor, the Hierophant, the Lovers, the Chariot, Strength, the Hermit, the Wheel of Fortune, Justice, the Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, the Devil, the Tower, the Star, the Moon, the Sun, Judgement, and finally the World. Not everyone goes through these stages in order, and sometimes people tend to go back and forth a bit rather than in a straight line. Some people also skip some of the steps. Everyone’s journey is different. Overall, the cards of the Major Arcana signify things with deep and lasting meaning. They show universal themes.

5

Minor Arcana The cards of the Minor Arcana depict things that are more a part of our daily lives. They signify feelings, wishes, or events that might be fleeting. The Minor Arcana is divided into four suits: Swords, Cups, Pentacles, and Wands. Each suit represents a different aspect of our daily lives. Swords represent the element of air, or the mind. Associations: Logic, Truth, Intellect, Power. Cups represent water, or the soul. Associations: Feelings, Emotions. Pentacles represent the element of earth, or the body (all that is physical). Associations: Physical being, Physical needs. Wands represent fire, or intuition/willpower. Associations: Imagination, Inspiration, Motion, Potential Energy, Ambition, Effort.

6

Within each suit, there are cards numbered from Ace to Ten as well as the Royal cards. Studying the numerology behind each number is beyond the scope of this guide, but I would like to briefly discuss the role of each member of the royal court. King: The King of any suit is the ruler of that suit. That means he not only possess all the characteristics of the suit, but to a greater degree. He “rules” over the other cards of his suit. The King also personifies the male attributes of his suit. Queen: The Queen on the other hand personifies the female attributes of a suit. Like the King, she also “rules” over the other cards of the suit, serving to strengthen the King. Both the King and the Queen represent authority figures. They are mature adults. Knight: The Knight is a servant of the King and Queen. Given his youth (he is a young adult), he represents the qualities of the suit to a lesser degree. He is sometimes seen as a messenger or seeker, symbolizing movement. Page: The Page is also a servant of the King and Queen, but if even more youthful than the Knight. The Page is often depicted as a child and having child-like, or immature, qualities. The Page is seen as an aspect of the situation that is beginning to develop.
