Major Arcana

The Major Arcana is a smaller group of cards and there are only 22 of these. These cards have a picture on them, and they don’t belong to any of the four suits, but they mostly stand together. The Fool card of course, will show up on its own as a Joker card.

All the cards in the Major Arcana group stand by themselves but you can put them in an order from 0 to 22. These are cards that tell the journey of the Fool and each of the cards represent something such as tradition, love, gods, and goddesses, hope and more. They also represent the people that play a huge role in your life and the guides that assist you.

The Major Arcana cards play a big role in your life, and they have a lot of weight when it comes to the reading. Some people will not make them as significant as other cards, but most people see them as special and important.

These cards are the ones that represent things that other people around you have in common and the things that make you different than everyone else. If you imagine that there are a million people that love to do yoga, there might be half a million that do it differently than you do. This is how the Major Arcana cards work, in a way.
