Introduction to Tarot

The tarot is most commonly viewed as a tool for divination. Though it is a tool for taking a snapshot at the moment M of what the possibilities could be, it is more so a great tool for reflection on the present. It gives you insight on a situation to allow you to take the best path moving forward. It is a great way to connect with your inner wisdom.

A tarot reading traditional involves a querent, also called seeker or client - someone who is looking for answers to specific questions - and a reader - someone who knows how to interpret the cards. They are different ways to do it as to who shuffles and cuts the cards, but after that the cards drawn are played out in a pattern called a spread. Each position in the spread has a meaning, and each card has a meaning as well. The cards that come out and the position that they fall in will both affect your reading. The reader combines these two meanings and the overall associations of the cards to answer the querent's question(s).

Tarot cards and tarot reading is a form of divination. Although the mainstream ideas of divination and intuition have been tweaked to seem like anyone can tap into this psychic energy eld, the truth is that only a few people take the time to hone and develop their extrasensory perception skills. 

The modern tarot cards that most readers / psychics use are typically composed of twenty-two Major Arcana cards and fifty-six Minor Arcana cards. 
The Major Arcana represents the big life lessons and the archetypal themes that are influencing your life. They form a symbolic story - known as the Fool's journey - representing our journey of self-development.
The Minor Arcana represents the every day events and relatively mundane features of life.
