थे मजोर & मिनोर ARCANA

THE TAROT deck is composed of two parts or divisions: THE MAJOR ARCANA and THE MINOR ARCANA. This division has led to specific ways in which people utilize the cards, which may have once been carved, wooden or clay, blocks coming from very ancient days...possibly from pre-historic mankind that lived in caves,caverns, and obscure and harsh places and who started out with bone fragments,etc. to make them transportable from cavern walls where the things may have been carved or painted or etched,etc....this is my conjecture and nothing certain can be said about this beyond looking at various descriptions, photos, relics,etc. that may be available in various places around the world. THE MAJOR ARCANA depict people, persons, humans, men/women, children, and some other things in various settings as found nowadays in the modern and varied decks available....and for this reason many devotees of the TAROT concentrate on these in preference to the MINOR ARCANA....while others interested in divinations, fortune-telling,etc. utilize these latter.... people want to know, for instance, certain outcomes, certain trends, certain relationships, and other things, usually of the future, but sometimes in the past and present and which some readers require a look at all three to be able to actually do anything worthwhile.. Both ARCANA OF THE TAROT contain impressions and influences that relate to human consciousness and existence and what one can find in either of them attracts the interest of seekers after truth, knowledge, and destiny, among other things that motivate people, while some others may be repelled by using such for any worthwhile endeavor.
