    Hello lovely people! Welcome to the second lecture, I introduced you to the basics of your tarot deck, which consists of 78 cards divided into the major and minor arcana. I emphasized the importance of treating your deck like a trusted friend and keeping it in a special place. As you shuffle, focus on your questions, allowing yourself to feel calm and open to receive insights. For your first practice, hold your deck, take deep breaths, and ask it to work with you in clarity and truth. I look forward to exploring the cards in depth with you in the upcoming lectures!

    The Structure of the Deck

    In this lecture, I explore the structure of the Tarot deck, which consists of 78 cards divided into 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana represents significant life lessons and transformations, while the Minor Arcana reflects daily events and emotions through its four suits: cups, wands, swords, and pentacles. I highlight key cards like The Fool, The Magician, and The Lovers, emphasizing their meanings in our life stories. It's important to remember that the interpretation of these cards depends on how they resonate with you at any given moment. I encourage you to reflect on how these symbols can provide insight into your own experiences.

Requirements

  • No Experience Needed
  • Having a Tarot Deck is helpful, not necessary.
