The 22 cards which are called the Major Arcana of the Tarot are a series of images which portray the different stages of a journey.  This journey is one which is familiar from many myths, legends and fairy tales, as well as from the worlds great religious teachings.  It is the journey of life which all human beings must make, from birth through childhood and the power and influence of the parents, through adolescence with its loves and conflicts and rebellions, through maturity with its worldly trials and ethical and moral challenges, through loss and crisis, despair and transformation and the awakening of new hope, toward eventual victory and achievement of the goal - which in turn leads to yet another journey.

 

The tarot speaks in an ancient and evocative language of symbols, charting the evolution of the soul and the mysteries of life.  This system of archetypal and emotional imagery makes the tarot an unprecedented vehicle for spiritual inquiry and intuitive growth.
