The Gothic Tarot


1 The Major Arcana

The Major Arcaca consists of 22 cards which represent archetypes of people, physical, emotional and spiritual status, virtues, vice and possible destinies. Certain cards may symbolize an actual person or a personality trait. The Major Arcana also represents one's journey through life or a particular circumstance. The Fool traditionally depicts one who is just starting out on the journey and The World is the time or place where that journey comes to its completion. The cards are interpreted according to their position in the spread and the outlook of the individual being read. What one person may consider to be an obstacle, may appear as a challenge to others. The cards also hold separate meanings, sometimes to the contrary, when they appear reversed or inverted.
