Understanding the Tarot

What is Tarot?

Tarot is a symbolic system of 78 cards used for centuries as a tool for introspection and self-knowledge. The 22 Major Arcana represent universal archetypes of the human journey.

History of the Major Arcana

The Major Arcana evolved from 15th-century Italian playing cards into a powerful tool for divination and self-discovery. Each of the 22 cards depicts a key archetype on the soul's journey.

How to Read Tarot Cards

Observe the symbolism, read the upright and reversed meanings, and allow the message to resonate with your current life situation. Tarot is a mirror, not a prediction.

Upright vs Reversed

An upright card expresses its energy directly and naturally. A reversed card suggests the energy is blocked, internalized, or needs deeper reflection before it can flow.
