 Elements
W a n d s energy, drive, willpower, creativity, power
Associated with the element of fire, the suit of wands represents passion, inspiration and
willpower. The wands imbue their users with primal energy, for it is through them that the
cycle of creation can begin. Because of their ability to bring energy into any situation,
they are also associated with action, ambition and making plans. At their worst, they can
refer to situations that are filled with recklessness and lack of direction. As you follow
the journey within the wands, you'll come across these themes again and again.

logic, ideas, intellect, communication Swords

The swords is the suit of intelligence, logic, truth, ambition, conflict and communication.
It is associated with the element of air. In readings, these cards focus on the faculty and
power of intellect, which like the swords themselves, are double-edged. This can be used
for both good or evil, to help and to harm, and our greatest conflicts usually come from
this delicate balance. At their worst, the swords can be abusive, harsh, and lack
empathy.

C u p s emotion, feelings, intuition, relationships

The suit of cups rules over all that is associated with emotions, the
unconscious, creativity, and intuition. They frequently talk about relationships,
whether romantic or otherwise, and one's imagination and inner world. They
are associated with the element of water, which becomes a frequent visual
theme within this suit. At their worst, the cups suit is fret with uncontrolled
feelings, fantasy, and a disconnect with one's inner voice.

nature, body, material world, stability Pentacles

The pentacles is the suit of all things worldly and material. Though we will
immediately think of the pentacles as relating to financial matters, we also can
understand them as being associated with security, stability, nature, health, and
prosperity. The pentacles are of earth element. When we see pentacles show up in
a reading, they are usually concerned with your long term future, career, generosity,
your household, business investments and your feelings of sensuality. The negative
side of the pentacles show up as greed, jealousy, miserliness, and unbridled
ambition at the cost of all else.

 Major Arcana
“The Fools Journey”
The Major Arcana is a 22 card set within the tarot that is considered to be the core
and the foundation for the deck. All of the deck is filled with archetypal significance,
but this is most pronounced within the Major Arcana. These cards follow a storyline
that tells of the spiritual travels taken from the innocent wonder of The Fool to the
oneness and fulfillment of The World. In other words, these cards tell the story of
humanity's spiritual evolution into enlightenment and individuation.

And so, as we follow the journey of the Fool, we can start seeing common parallels
between our own stages in life and those in the cards, each card teaching a
specific lesson and a concept to meditate over. Because they form the basis of the
tarot, some readings can sometimes be conducted with only the Major Arcana as
well.

showing disconnectedness with some
emotions and some feelings are being
ignored or overlooked
