Major Arcana Index
Here’s where you’ll find out more about the Major Arcana of
the Tarot Deck.
Here we provide you with quick-link navigation through the
Major Arcana of the Tarot Deck. These cards are the ones
that are the least understood.  Most of us can easily see the
parallel between the Minor Arcana (Aces through Kings) and
today’s standard deck of playing cards.  

There are a total of 22 Major Arcana cards in the Tarot
Deck.  Beginning with The Fool the Major Arcana lead us
through many of the archetypes that we all experience as we
walk through our life’s path.  Those who have researched the
Jung Archetypal psychological theory will see many of Jung’s
ideas echoing down through the ages from well before he was
even born.  The Major Arcana are believed by many readers to
hold more meaning or strength in a reading.  It is worth noting
that when one follows the path of the Fool throughout the
experiences of the Major Arcana, ending with The World, one
has experienced a wide range of experiences.  Once one has
accomplished goals and achieved desired fulfillments, one is
said to be “sitting on top of the world.”  Once you’re on top of
the world it’s time to set new goals, start new endeavors, and
move into different phases of life.  This is the normal path and
growth of the human condition.  

It is said that most of the divinatory information in reading
Tarot comes through the Major Arcana cards that show up in
the reading.  In fact, there are many decks that only deal with
these 22 cards and concepts.  When there are no Major
Arcana in a reading it may indicate that it is either not a good
time for the reading or that the individual is really at the
vagaries of the winds of fate at that time.  Many other
meanings can be gleaned from the Major Arcana, especially
when interrelations to other cards in the particular spread are
taken into consideration.

Arcana Cards:
