The Major Arcana

Hello there fellow Fool!

If you've found your way here you might just be starting out on your journey with the Tarot towards knowing yourself. I hope my posts will help and guide you on your journey towards enlightenment. 

I thought it might be a good idea to start this blog by taking you through the Major Arcana of the Tarot. It depicts the trials and tribulations of the Fool's Journey through life on this Plane of Existence. The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards and constitutes the heart of the Tarot.

We start the Journey by befriending Card number 0, The Fool.

The Fool is who we all are at the beginning of life, start of a new project or in terms of starting a new cycle of personal development. Number 0 indicates he's neither positive nor negative, he's malleable and pliable, open minded and spontaneous. The dog indicates he is driven by instinct and trusts his gut feeling. He's strangely unaware of the hardships of the world as he approaches the cliff edge on his journey of acquiring knowledge...

The Fool will support you when you are faced with taking a big step or when you've lost the sense of joy in your life. He's never afraid of new beginnings and looks at life as a playful adventure. If you need a simpler approach to a problem in your life, meditate on the Fool, employ the spontaneity of a child and put your adult mind to the side for a while. 

New beginnings are always good, embrace them and always trust in the fact that the Universe provides.
