Tarot Card Lesson of the Day
Ok, I'll admit right up front that I may not be able to post EVERYDAY, but this is something I am striving for. This is intended to be a beginner’s foray into the Tarot and not really intended for those of you who are seasoned readers. Your comments concerning how you see the different cards or aspects are more than welcome. Additionally this is just how I see the various cards and interpretations tend to vary among readers and there really is no set in stone meaning or definition of each card. For me the Tarot is just a focusing point to channel information that I am getting and there are times when a card will “speak” to me with a rather non-traditional meaning.
The Tarot deck that I use primarily is the Rider Waite deck. This is the one that I recommend to beginning Tarot students because of the basic symbolism involved. So, this is the deck I will be focusing on during the lessons.
The Tarot is made up of 22 Major Arcana cards, such as the World, Death, Lovers, and so on. I find that these cards tend to come up in major life issues or karmic issues. These are the ones to really pay attention to as they tend to reveal the cosmic lesson that we are being asked to learn.
The Minor Arcana is comprised of 56 cards that range from 1-10 and the court cards, which are the Page, Knight, Queen, and King. I find that when you are asking for more day to day things you will come up with more Minor Arcana cards than Major. This is just a rule of thumb and really and varies among readers and what the situation surrounding the question is.
