The souls journey through life - The fools story. Major Arcana

The journey into the Major Arcana cards, begins with the Fool and ends with the World; with the first card presenting the journey from innocence, to enlightenment.

To really understand the Art of the Tarot, this journey is a beautiful way to start.

The Art in the Tarot path; is that tarot is an energy of the universe, a language of its own, you can tune into.

The major Arcana cards can be known or seen as the Soul of tarot. Within them lies the universes secrets, great transformations, and beautiful mysteries.

Often when we receive a Major arcana card in a reading, this can symbolise a major event happening in our life, or one that has occurred; it can also represent the help of unseen forces, spiritual helpers, destiny or fate.

Once upon a time, before time had learned how to keep its own hours - the fool stepped out onto the road of the world.

- As he embarks on his journey, his path is not yet set in stone, unclear of where the world will lead him.The Fool can represent the first baby steps on a spiritual journey, although he can also represent a new beginning in the material world.

He sets out on his path, as the adventourist soul that he is - with out a care in the world; a path that would lead to self discovery, heaps of personal growth.

Unaware of the dangers that lurk ahead; he followed his natural instincts- as he takes off, he’s carrying only that but a very small bag of belongings and a white Rose.

ready to take a leap into the unknown - care free, leading to a path to unlock all of his true potential. He could already be carrying gifts he did not know he possessed.

Carrying the energy of the of a child like state - A youthful hero, embarking on his journey, a new life ahead; he may seem naive - as this is a journey of growth, renewal, trials and triumphs.

He leaves the comfort of his mother; and embarks on his journey.

As he wandered along a path; The first person he meets along his journey is the Magician, a wild majestic man; Filled with curiosity - he approaches the magician.

The magician cloaked in ancient knowledge and magic. The magician asks the fool, what’s in the bag that he’s been carrying, representing the bridge between the spiritual and material realms.

The fool responds nothing. The magician asks him to look again; upon looking again the fool began to see all that he had been carrying;

The fool watches as his small bag unfolds into a cloth; all his possibilities, shinning in front of him. Carrying more than he could ever know, in this moment.

In he’s bag was a magical wand, this was representing his passion, creativity and inner flame - he was also carrying a Chalice this was representing his emotions - he was also carrying an ancient sword representing his thoughts, communication skills, intuition, inner peace and so much more - the last thing he was carrying was a pentacle; this represented his connection to the earth, his body and his material gains. As above, so below.

With out the fool realising, he had all the tools he needed for his journey ahead. Little did he know - he was carrying his special powers all along, including the power to manifest his dreams and so much more.

The Magician tells the fool; everything you need is already in your bag, everything you will ever wield is already right inside of you; with your tools you can create anything.

The spark of inner knowing was growing deeper and deeper from the inside. The fool was left feeling inspired, with the fresh insight that the Magician had given him.

The Magician being a magical spiritual being, would watch over the Fool on his journey, acting as a guide from the universe.

As the Fool said he’s goodbyes to the Magician - he set of on the path that he had chosen to take. Not knowing where it would lead, or who he would come across.
