Tarot is a divination tool that connects us to the world of spirit and the magic of Mother Earth Medicine.
A tarot deck contains 78 cards, divided into twenty-two Major Arcana cards and sixty-six Minor Arcana cards, each with a different meaning and message.
The Major Arcana cards represent archetypes we embody throughout our lives and major life themes. These cards deal with big picture thinking, representative of the higher self and spiritual perspective.
The Minor Arcana cards represent the details of the story and our daily life – beginning with the Aces and ending with the Kings, they are divided into four different suits, each representing a different earth element. Cups are water, Wands are fire, Swords are air, and Pentacles are earth.
Through this representation of the four elements in the Minor Arcana, we are reminded of our connection to the earth and the power we share.
