Certainly! Tarot cards are a deck of cards used for divination and fortune-telling. They originated in the 15th century in Europe and have since become popular worldwide. A traditional tarot deck consists of 78 cards, divided into two main categories: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana.
Major Arcana: This set of 22 cards represents significant life events, archetypal energies, and spiritual lessons. Each card in the Major Arcana carries its own symbolism and meaning, depicting various stages and aspects of human experience.
Minor Arcana: This set of 56 cards is further divided into four suits—Wands (associated with fire and creativity), Cups (associated with water and emotions), Swords (associated with air and intellect), and Pentacles (associated with earth and material aspects of life). The Minor Arcana cards represent everyday situations, challenges, and influences.
During a tarot reading, a reader shuffles the deck and draws cards based on the question or issue at hand. The cards are then interpreted to provide insights, guidance, and possible outcomes. Each card has its own symbolism and can have multiple interpretations depending on its position in the spread and the reader’s intuition.
