Welcome to Arcana.

Tarot is one of the oldest card games known to man. It is one of the doors to the symbolic world.

It is an important element for the education of esotericism. The origin of this game is as mysterious as its illustrations.

Some versions say that it is a game from China. Others, from the depths of India, from Egypt itself, there is a deck known as the Egyptian tarot.

There are speculations that mention it as a work of Hermes Trimegistro. Among his clients there are bohemians, poets, philosophers, hippies, psychologists, scars, esoterics, cabalists, among others.

The tarot contains in its history joy to be medieval and Christian illustrations, x-ray of the social structure of the moment it was created.

One of the most recognizable features is the color palette that makes it up in its most traditional form, which is the Marseille tarot.

A deck of cards from the Canon de Marseille consists of 78 colored mines and will be divided into two parts: major arcana, minor arcana.

The minor arcana is the section of the 78 cards, which consists of 56 colored plates and divided into four series: sticks, coins, swords, wands and cups.

Each stack has 14 cards with the same order in their illustrations, which are King, Queen, Horse, Zota and 10 numbered cards from 1 to 10 where the first is known as Ace.

The French deck that we know today is born from the tarot with some changes such as the figure of the horse disappears, the wands are transformed into diamonds, the cups into hearts, the swords into black hearts and the golds into clubs.

These four suits are important because in the tarot they symbolize the four paths that fundamentally make up life. In this way, the clubs symbolize fire, the cups symbolize water, the swords symbolize the air, and the gold symbolizes the earth.

The major arcana represent the paths of initiation and have been interpreted in different ways over the centuries. This section is made up of 22 sheets. His illustrations are: one the magician, two the priestess, three the empress, four the emperor, five the high priest, six the lover, seven the chariot, eight the force, nine the hermit, ten the wheel of fortune, 11 the justice, 12 the Hanged Man, the 13th arcane, or the nameless arcane, known as death. Fourteen temperance, 15 the devil, 16 the tower, 17 the star, 18 the moon, 19 the sun, 20 judgment, 21 the world, and the arcane without number, which as a mind is known as the madman.

As the tarot is like a library that is revealed through its sheets, it contains in its structure codings that at the time were the foundation of science, such as astrology and alchemy.

From what you hear, take what works for you.
