What Are Tarot Cards?
Tarot cards are a deck of 78 cards divided into two categories:
The Major Arcana (22 cards): Represent significant life events, themes, or archetypes. Examples include The Fool, The Lovers, and The World.
The Minor Arcana (56 cards): Focus on everyday events and situations. These are further divided into four suits: Cups, Pentacles, Swords, and Wands, each representing a specific area of life.
Each card is rich with symbolic imagery and layers of meaning, making tarot an intriguing tool for divination and introspection.
The History of Tarot Cards
Tarot cards trace their origins back to 15th-century Europe, where they were initially used as playing cards. Over time, mystics and spiritual seekers adopted the tarot for divination and guidance. Today, tarot reading is a popular practice worldwide, blending elements of psychology, spirituality, and intuition.
