A Deck of Discovery
Part 1
by Ashleigh Stewart

Page: 1 2

In this article my intention is to provide a general overview of the structure of the Tarot and to explain the basic purpose and significance of each section of the deck.

I will begin by introducing the major arcana. The major arcana consist of 22 cards. In my own opinion and what is the likely view of the majority of Tarot readers, these cards are the most significant cards in the deck.

These cards detail the psychological state of a human being and determine the areas where attention is required in order to promote psychological growth. In essence, these cards reflect our "inner self" and have spiritual significance.

The simplest way of considering and understanding the phases of growth that are depicted throughout the major arcana is by looking to it as the story of "The Fool" embarking upon his journey through life.

The Tarot portrays the movement of "The Fool" key 0, from his first appearance in the major arcana until the end when he reaches 'The World'.

This is the last card in the major arcane, key 21 and the point where he has completed one life cycle of evolution. From his first point of expression, leading from him being a spark of enlightened divine perfection, into facing the trials of life and experiencing the lessons of both a positive and negative nature that are required of any human being to grow and evolve until they gain enough wisdom and insight of life to become, once again, an unbound enlightened being.

On reaching this stage "The Fool" has evolved into the same state of consciousness he was at when he first arrived onto the earth plane.

The next section of the cards is the minor arcana. These cards add fullness and depth to the details given in the major arcana. The minor arcana represents the "outer life", for example, relationships, events, work and any projects that are significant in influencing the state of mind of the human being in psychological terms as demonstrated in the major arcane.

There are 40 cards in the minor arcane which are divided into four individual suits.. These suits are Cups, Wands, Swords and Coins. You might recognize these suits as bearing resemblance to the suits demonstrated in regular decks of playing cards where we have Hearts, Spades, Clubs and Diamonds. The four suits of the minor arcane are governed by the four elements earth, water, fire and air.

  • Wands -- Fire which rules creative energy and ambition.
  • Cups -- Water which rules the emotions, love, feelings and the subconscious mind.
  • Swords -- Air which rules rational thought, logic, intellect and the conscious mind.
  • Coins -- Earth which rules material manifestation, physical growth, finance and industry.

The Tarot shows us the importance of having balance in our lives. Without achieving and maintaining a balance the result can be of bringing harm to ourselves in either a psychological, physical nature or a combination of both factors depending, of course, upon your own life circumstances.

Featured Tarot Article:
Pisces, Neptune -- The Moon, The Hanged Man
The Hanged Man is Card Number 12 in the Major Arcana. It is associated with the Astrological planet and symbolism of Neptune, metaphor of mystery, psychological complexity, spiritual enlightenment, self-sacrifice, hidden developments, secret doings, behind-the-scenes planning and chicanery, things unseen ... and insanity. It's a most uneasy mix, this strange, jumbled, bewildering energy.
