So, guys, I’ve been messing around with this tarot thing lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a trip. I decided to get all organized and put the cards in order. Thought it would make things easier, you know?
First things first, I got myself a deck. Standard 78 cards, each with its own freaky picture. I started by laying them all out, trying to make sense of the mess. There are two main parts, the Major and Minor Arcana. The Major is like the big shots, the ones with all the deep meanings. The Minor is like the everyday stuff, split into four suits. I read somewhere on the internet that the suits should be in a specific order: Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. Something about fire, water, air, and earth. Okay, sounds a bit mystical, but I’m game.
Sorting the Minor Arcana
- Wands: These guys are all about fire, passion, and energy. I put them first, just like the internet said.
- Cups: Next up, the water works. Emotions, relationships, all that lovey-dovey stuff.
- Swords: Then come the swords, representing air. This is where you find thoughts, conflicts, and maybe a little bit of drama.
- Pentacles: Last but not least, the earth gang. These cards are about material things, money, and the physical world.
I spent a good chunk of time sorting these out. It wasn’t just about putting them in order, but also about getting a feel for each card. I found this tip online about doing a daily card pull. You just pick one card each day and think about what it means. I did that, starting with the Wands. I kept that card in my mind all day, trying to see how it related to what I was doing. It was actually pretty cool. Sometimes it made sense, sometimes it didn’t. But hey, it’s a process, right?
Then I moved on to the Cups, then the Swords, and finally the Pentacles. Each suit has its own vibe, its own set of things it’s trying to tell you. It’s like learning a new language, but with pictures instead of words.
The Major Arcana
These cards are the heavy hitters. They have names like “The Fool,” “The Magician,” “The High Priestess,” and so on. They’re supposed to represent major life events, big lessons, and all that jazz. I put them in their numbered order, from 0 to 21.
Honestly, the Major Arcana cards are a bit intimidating. They’re so symbolic and grand. But I figured, if I’m going to do this tarot thing, I might as well go all in. I’m still figuring them out, to be honest. But every time I look at them, I feel like I’m uncovering something new, some hidden piece of wisdom or something.
So, that’s where I’m at with my tarot ordering adventure. It’s been a mix of following instructions and trying to figure stuff out on my own. I’m not saying I’m an expert now, not by a long shot. But I’m definitely more organized, and I feel like I’m starting to understand these cards a little better. It’s like, instead of just seeing a bunch of random pictures, I’m starting to see a story, a system, a way of looking at the world. And that’s pretty darn cool, if you ask me.
