The Major Arcana

Twenty-two cards charting a journey from naive beginnings to integrated arrival. Each is an archetype, a station on the road, a turn the seeker takes whether they meant to or not.

The journey of the Major Arcana is sometimes called the Fool's Journey: a young, open self meets the world's archetypal forces in sequence, is shaped by them, and arrives at completion changed. When a Major appears in a reading, it carries more weight than a Minor — the question is touching something structural.
