मजोर अरकाना ARRANGEMENTS

The TAROT CARDS that comprise the MAJOR ARCANA can be grouped or arranged in special orders or arrays...for a number of purposes.....and the simplest one is the NUMERICAL ORDERING....as each card has been assigned a specific NUMBER.....ranging from 1-22(0) and this has several 'problems' in that the usual order of 0-21 is not always considered and also that Zero (0) is placed by some at the end of the order or sandwiched in between 20 & 21......This 'classical' arrangement which usually starts with the Magician(so-called) has many adherents...... Another arrangement places the cards in 'opposition' to one another, such as #l & #21, #2 & #20,etc. This PAIRING OF THE CARDS yields some insights that can be poetic, religious, and occult,etc. All of this is sort of 'arbitrary' and 'subjective' and will arouse certain responses intellectually, emotionally, and possibly physical extending to the sexual and other 'psychic' centers depending on many things, such as, 'one's internal state' or the influences and impressions one has....generally from sources OUTSIDE the TAROT..... My discussion arrangement of the cards follows my own personal inclination(s) and derives from many sources and other things....and need not detain or interest others beyond mere curiosity...
