Major Arcana

In an introspective tarot reading, the Major Arcana cards traditionally serve as profound symbols representing  themes and principles in our lives.

 

When reading reflectively, cards can be chosen to visually reflect a situation, person or event, or can be shuffled and drawn to widen thinking and provide helpful insights. 

Whether it's feeling like you’re embarking on the transformative journey of The Fool, needing to apply deeper thinking and observation to unlock the wisdom of The High Priestess, or hold onto the innocent hope of The Star, each card offers a unique perspective on the human experience.
