Psychic Cards
The Major Arcana is the first set of cards that is found in the tarot set. There is both a Minor and a Major Arcana set and the difference is that the Major Arcana is not divided into different suits like the regular playing cards are but they are considered allegorical symbols and they take on the meaning of the “Journey of the Fool,” which is a life journey that you can take and what you will do in your life.
When you have a symbolic journey then you can learn to interpret it and you can learn to interpret how your life is when you look at the journey of the Fool.
