Major and Minor Arcanas
There are as many interpretations to tarot cards as there are people who interpret them. I provide here only two interpretations for each card: That of upright and that of reverse or upsidedown. I have seperated these into linked categories to reduce the time it takes to load each page. If you find a link broken or a word misspelled let me know.
THE MAJOR ARCANA
The cards of the major arcana offer us broad categories of the stages and lessons of life: love, change, spirituality, morality. They are the 'Big Guns' of the Tarot, almost larger than life. Beginning with The Fool(0)and ending with The World (21), they form a complete allegory depicting the circle of life.
