Background

some even rely on divination results to influence their lives. However, Tarot started out as a card game. Therefore, this topic will explore ways to use Tarot elements to reduce reliance on divination by providing an in-depth understanding of the potential of Tarot cards.

The Fool is a Tarot card, the first of the 21 Major Arcana, symbolising new beginnings. It is based on the design of the big joker card in poker.
The Magician is numbered 01 in the Tarot. In the Tarot, the Magician is usually depicted as a man standing at a table holding a wand pointing up to the sky and another hand pointing down to the ground, symbolising the flow of energy linking heaven and earth. It is also a symbol of using our own resources to pursue our goals.
The Priestess is numbered 02 in the Tarot. She represents silence and introspection, encouraging us to delve deeper into our inner world, relying on intuition and inner guidance.
The Lovers are numbered 0 6 in the Tarot.In the Tarot, the Lovers are usually depicted as a male and female pair standing face to face. This card emphasises the attraction between the sexes, the power of love and the importance of relationships.
Justice is numbered 08 in the Tarot, and is usually depicted as a woman wearing a robe of impartiality and holding a balance in her hand, representing objective, balanced decision-making and her neutrality to outside interference.
Death is numbered 13 in the Tarot; however, it is important to note that the symbolism of death in the Tarot is not exactly the same as the literal meaning. Death represents change, closure and transformation. It symbolises a necessary end in order to make a new beginning.
Temperance is numbered 14 in the Tarot. In the Tarot, Temperance is often depicted as an angel or goddess. She represents balance and harmony.
The Moon is numbered 18 in the Tarot.In Tarot cards, the Moon is usually depicted as a bright moon high in the night sky, surrounded by clouds and two towers. The Moon's light illuminates the surroundings and represents intuition and instinct.
