22 Major Arcana
Represent Major Themes - Spiritual / Life Lessons - Archetypes.
The energies are reflecting life-cycles that need to be worked through, to end the repeats and
Karmic Lessons. The Major Arcana presents Spiritual Challenges, it is good to take note and as they can be seen as higher purpose calling. What you do now matters.
These are my interpretations and are suggestions - the Tarot have core collective meanings where we can meet, but at the end of the day it is in the moment and what arises to see, as the intuitive impulse plays a huge part of the reading and the knowledge is fluid and unfolding,
I have written this Free Tarot Book knowing there is much prejudice and preconceived incorrect opinions about using the Tarot, mostly made by people who don't even use them. I am aware many of those transforming use the Tarot and find them a useful tool that assists in self-discovering. I start with the Major Arcana and will perhaps move to the whole pack in the future.
Good fortune and please don't believe a word I say, this is about you finding your way.
