The Origins of tarot

It is possible to date the origins of what we now refer to as Tarot cards to somewhere in the late fourteenth century. The original playing cards, which had four distinct suits and were used for games, were made by artists in Europe. Similar to what we still use today, these suits included discs or coins, staves or wands, cups, and swords. After utilising these for a decade or two, Italian painters started painting new, highly decorated cards to add to the existing suits around the middle of the fourteenth century.

These "trump" or "victory" cards were frequently created for affluent households. The victory cards in the set of cards that the nobles would commission from painters would be depictions of their loved ones. The Milanese Visconti dynasty, which included numerous dukes and barons, commissioned a number of sets, some of which are still in use today.

For several centuries, only a select few could afford to buy a deck of personalised cards since not everyone could afford to pay a painter to produce them. Before the invention of the printing press, it was impossible to mass-produce playing card decks for the common gamer.

What are Major and Minor Arcana Tarot?

Tarot cards are structured differently, and for different practices, different kinds of decks are being used. Some believe that an entire universe can exist within a tarot deck, where each card can represent multiple meanings. It can be a place, a person, or an event. These symbols can be found in the Major and Minor Arcana cards.

Major Arcana cards

The innermost longings, pleasures, wants, and demands of the soul are represented by the Major Arcana (major secrets) cards. They indicate the soul's karmic goal, previous lifetimes, and upcoming undertakings.

Similar to the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, there are twenty-two Major Arcana cards. Each card has a corresponding Hebrew letter, and occultists study their Kabbalistic meanings to get a deeper understanding of each card. The Wheel of Fortune card number 10, which has the four Hebrew letters that make up the word "God," may make the connection to the Hebrew alphabet the most obvious.

The Major Arcana cards are surprisingly numbered 0 through 21. The Fool, or number 0, represents the soul's most innocent state—that of a newborn. Major Arcana progression is thought to represent the soul's development from a blank slate to a wise, knowledgeable soul as it is experienced on Earth. 

Each card in the Major Arcana may be focused upon to achieve inner harmony since it provides a comprehensive insight of where we are in life.
