What is Tarot?
Tarot is a centuries-old practice using a deck of 78 symbolic cards for self-reflection, guidance, and insight. Unlike fortune-telling, modern tarot is a tool for self-awareness — each card acts as a mirror reflecting aspects of your life, emotions, and potential paths forward.
Major vs Minor Arcana
The 22 Major Arcana cards represent life's big spiritual lessons — from The Fool's innocent beginning to The World's completion. The 56 Minor Arcana cards deal with daily life across four suits: Wands (fire/passion), Cups (water/emotions), Swords (air/intellect), and Pentacles (earth/material).
How to Do a Simple Reading
Start with a single-card draw. Focus on a question, shuffle the deck, and draw one card. Consider its imagery, traditional meaning, and how it relates to your situation. As you gain confidence, try three-card spreads (past-present-future) or the Celtic Cross.
