The Holy Book - Volume 1

The Major Arcana cards read like a book that follows the journey of a human soul through life.

The first volume covers childhood:

The Fool - The soul waiting to be born

The Magician - The newborn who seems perfect in every way and has so much potential.

The High Priestess - The baby living off instinct in those first few months.

The Empress - The child playing

The Emperor - The child being disciplined

The Hierophant - The school child forming ideas about the world

The Lovers - The teenager beginning to make choices about what they want and who they want to be with.

The Chariot - The young adult striving to be successful.

That's one way of looking at it anyway. There are many more. That's the beautiful confusing thing about Tarot. It's like a diamond. Every time you turn it around in your hand you see another side.

What about you? What's your take on the first 8 cards of the Big Book of Tarot?
