We invite you to contemplate the benevolent wisdom of the Tarot and the gentle guidance that it offers. Here are the 22 cards of the Major Arcana from our Zerner/Farber Tarot—the “trump” cards of the tarot. Each card possesses its own special meaning and is designed to embody and convey a mystical message to both our conscious and subconscious minds, using visual symbolism. Together, the images and accompanying wisdom words trigger intuitive associations, uniquely and directly bringing to life the fundamental principle underlying the tarot: the blending of our dream-consciousness with that of our waking mind to produce a state of enchantment. We hope that you will be inspired to reflect on your own personal spiritual journey, and the signs and symbols all around you that offer guidance and illumination.
