Tarot has fascinated people for centuries. For some, it’s a mysterious tool of fortune-telling; for others, it’s a way to connect with intuition, creativity, and self-reflection. But what exactly is Tarot, and how can it support you on your journey?
A Brief History of Tarot
Tarot cards first appeared in 15th-century Europe as a simple card game. Over time, mystics and philosophers began to see the rich symbolism in the imagery and adapted the cards as tools for guidance, meditation, and divination. Today, Tarot is practiced worldwide as a way to explore life’s questions and tap into inner wisdom.
The Structure of a Tarot Deck
A traditional Tarot deck has 78 cards, divided into two main groups:
The Major Arcana (22 cards): These represent life’s big themes and spiritual lessons—moments of growth, transformation, and deeper meaning. Cards like The Fool, The Lovers, or The World speak to universal archetypes we all experience.
The Minor Arcana (56 cards): These cards reflect everyday situations—our relationships, challenges, decisions, and joys. They are split into four suits: Cups (emotions), Wands (creativity and passion), Swords (thoughts and challenges), and Pentacles (the material and practical world).
How Tarot Works
Tarot doesn’t predict the future in a fixed way. Instead, it acts like a mirror for your soul—helping you see what’s really going on beneath the surface. When you ask a question, the images and symbols spark insights that can guide reflection and decision-making.
Some use Tarot for spiritual practice, others for clarity in everyday choices. Many people also find it helpful for journaling, meditation, and personal growth.

At its heart, Tarot is less about predicting what will happen, and more about empowering you to shape what can happen.
