Major Arcana - The Moon

As the Fool keeps walking into the night he meets a wolf and a dog howling at the Moon. These two creatures symbolise our instincts and animal nature, they also warn us of danger. The moonlight is the Spirit descending into physical matter. The crayfish emerging from the murky pool symbolises contact with the unconscious but also a secret goal. The Fool is taught understanding of the physical world but also probes into the very Heart of the Soul. Even though there might be hardship, you need to find the Ultimate Truth reflected in the Moon's Light.

The Fool needs to Trust his Intuition more than ever here, he faces sorrow, hopelessness and disappointment but Intuition will take him deeper into the labyrinth of his heart where he'll find a way out. There's no way back, it's blocked by the water, so the only way is forward, away from ignorance. Will he remember his scattered dreams and memories before they're collected by the Moon goddess in her silver jar? At daybreak they'll yet again turn to dew...

In the Kabbalah the number 18 stands for error, magic and superstition. It corresponds to the number 90 and symbolises a new world. Esoterically it's shadow, darkness and illusion... 

The Moon helps you out whenever you need her, she's like balm to your karmic soul. Seeking psychic and spiritual guidance, turn to her and she'll guide you. Observe the phases like you do your emotions and feel and connect with those before you who have done the same...

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.
