അതെ സ്റ്റഡി ഓഫ് ദി ടാരോറ്റ് DECK

The study of the TAROT DECK, like manyother things,whether simply skills or occultpractices or religion or martial arts, should begin at an early age and continue during one's lifetime with as little interrruption as possible to achieve a 'minor' or possibly a 'major' success,so that when a ripe old age is reached, barring accidents and deaths,certain perspectives and conditions and states will be much better perceived and known than what existed in the beginning-an awareness and consciousness at the very least. THE MINOR ARCANA is composed of four suits: sceptres, cups, swords, adn pentacles...and correspond to the four suits in the standard deck of playing cards so familiar to many....clubs, hearts,spades and diamonds both of which are separated into two parts by color(s):black and red.....with the spades(swords) and clubs(sceptres) being black and the diamonds(disks or pentacles) and the hearts(cups) being red...... HOWEVER, the standard playing card deck consists of only FIFTY-TWO CARDS(with a joker or wild card, making 53) while the MINOR ARCANA has FIFTY-SIX, the addition of a card called THE KNIGHT,which in this arcana is placed between the QUEEN and THE JACK or KNAVE...... A general view of the four suits may help but each should be studied apart from the others which is apt to be a boring and laborious task which creates a resistance, if not antipathy, to the TAROT which requires patience and persistance. Timewise, a year for each suit would perhaps lead to profound conclusions and then each suit could be studied in combination(s) of sorts and then in thoroughly mixed suits.. This means certain 'layout' patterns of these cards, shuffled in the usual ways and then dealt or selected afterwards t make a specific or general 'reading' based on one'sunderstanding and efforts.
