THE WORLD
OF TAROT
THE BASIC MAKEUP OF TAROT
an anatomy of the world
of tarot and its inhabitants

Tarot has a total of 78 cards. 79, if your deck features the


Happy Squirrel or another original anomaly. 22 of which are
called the Major Arcana; these are the archetypal forces of
tarot, the bigger mysteries or energies that govern our multi-
layered and multi-dimensional existence as humans. 56 of
which is called the Minor Arcana: the smaller mysteries,
energies or psychological episodes that make up our day-
to-day life. There are 4 Suits in the Minor Arcana, each suit
containing 14 cards. 10 of which are numbered cards from
Ace of 10, and 4 of which are known as the Court Cards,
which consists of Pages, Knights, Queens and Kings.

Sounds like a lot of math, I know!


THE MAJOR ARCANA
The Major Arcana are powerful moments of transition and
paradigm shifts that we step into during our lifetime. You
can say that these are the “defining moments” or the
“important highlights” that we will refer to we are discussing
our personal timeline. Here are a few examples:

VII THE CHARIOT: MOMENTUM


You are called to express yourself through the art of
making jewelry and you have just quit your day job to
focus on your online business. You are brimming with
creativity and burdened with glorious purpose, and you
feel quite unstoppable as you begin to actively manifest
your dreams, charging towards victory, success, and
deeper spiritual fulfilment.

XV THE TOWER: CATHARSIS


After trying to mend a dysfunctional relationship for the
past 2 years, you have finally arrived at a point of no
return: you’ve just been fired from your job, an untimely
family crisis has surfaced, and your lover has
abandoned you for someone else. You are left alone
and broken—the structure of your life completely
shattered, but deep down inside you know that this is an
opportunity for you to align yourself with relationships
that serve your spirit instead of your ego, and that what
you currently have needs to shatter so you will have
room to rebuild your life and create something better.
THE MINOR ARCANA
The Minor Arcana are snapshots or episodes of the
everyday lives of the human realm. As mentioned before,
there are 4 suits within the major arcana. Each suit
corresponds with a specific element, and each suit is also
associated with a various aspects of everyday life.

Suit of Wands (FIRE) – passion, creativity, manifestation


Suit of Swords (AIR) – truth, logic and communication
Suit of Cups (WATER) – emotions, relationships and intuition
Suit of Pentacles (EARTH) – environment, resources and
productivity

The Minor Arcana contains moments such as:

2 of Swords: Dilemma
Should you give into your savage impulses and eat a
strawberry-glazed donut as a midnight sack, or nah?

6 of WANDS: LEADERSHIP
Should you speak up, share your vision and take charge of
your team of marshmallow-brained coworkers who have no
idea what they are doing and won’t stop mumbling?

8 of Cups: Transitions
Should you stop returning your ex’s phone calls and stop solo
binging on Nicolas Sparks classics - and finally move on with
your life?
4 of Pentacles: Security
Should you sink your claws into your meager bank savings for
the 30-inch TV on Black Friday or should you stick to your
budget and keep up with your financial routines—just until the
Christmas consumerist binge?

You know, episodes that are rather important to us, but in


the grand scheme of things, those wouldn’t be the things
that we use to tell our lives’ stories and to sum up our
narrative. We tend to call on the Majors’ for that. They are
called Majors for a reason. They’re uh, pretty major.

THE COURT CARDS


The Court Cards, unlike the rest of the Minor Arcana, are
not psychological episodes or snapshots; they are figures of
various types of persona in the world of tarot.

There are 4 Court Cards in each suit, namely:

The Kings – ruler


The Queens – nurturer
The Knights – champion
The Pages – student

The Court Cards are not episodes or scenes. These are


characters, or personality types, that will behave and think
in a certain way depending on their class and their suit.
They are more like actual people with strengths and
weaknesses, with perks and downfalls that are all an
authentic reflection of who they are. They are each driven
by different things, and their motivation in turn defines their
character. The Courts are usually a bit tricky to approach in
a tarot reading…because they are full of their own opinions
and prone to mood swings. While the archetypes from the
Majors engulf us with their energies and wisdom, and the
Minor Arcana (Ace to 10) reveals to us what we are going
through, the Court Cards, well, they show up for a
conversation. You have no idea what they are going to say,
although you have an idea of who they are and where they
come from. Depending on what your questions are and how
you approach them, the Court Cards will respond
accordingly, sharing their (nosy) opinions and thoughts with
you to help shed light to your situation.

Knight of Cups
Take Knight of Cups, for example. He’s from the Suit of Cups,
which is the suit that governs emotions, relationships and
intuition. Crossed with his class as a knight (a champion that
quests for his ideals), you get the romantic, idealist and
sensitive knight in shiny armour that embarks on a quest
searching for love and happiness – whatever that fulfills his
heart.

Queen of Swords
If you’ve dabbled in tarot, you’re probably aware of her bitch
status in the World of Tarot. A queen’s role is to nurture, and
since she’s from the Suit of Swords – she nurtures you by
telling you the truth and attempting to right your wrongs.
Although she does it out of love, the truth is often the thing
that frigging hurts us the most, especially when we don’t want
to admit it.
THE TAROT KINGDOM
this is where
the stories begin

A cool way to understand the tarot system is to imagine it


as a fantastical realm populated by gods, royalties, and the
common people.

The Major Arcana are the archetypal deities and forces


that govern the realm. They are godly personalities or
consciousness that are the energies, wisdom and identities
of the collective unconsciousness and are able to embody,
connect, and impart wisdom on a godly level. When the
Majors show up in a tarot reading, you bet it’s going to be
something major. They Major Arcana carry more gravity
than the rest of the cards. Why wouldn’t they? I mean,
they’re gods. They will have elevated your existence with
their sheer presence alone. When they show up and have a
message for you? You better perk up your ears to listen
and absorb their wisdom with every single one of your
pores.

The royalties, of course, are the Court Cards. The Kings


and Queens and Knights and Pages in the four suits. A king
rules his elemental suit with firm leadership, intelligence and
authority. A queen connects to her people and nurtures heir
growth. A knight quests for the ideals and visions of his king
and his country, and may one day become a lord himself. A
page learns from a knight and will one day become a
knight. You can say that the knights and pages are in a
state of becoming more of their element or their suit, while
the kings and queens are the matured and actualized
personas of their element or their suit.

Lastly, the lives of the common people are represented by


the numbered Minor Arcana cards, from the Aces to the
Tens. They are mainly concerned with the mundane and
the devastating first world problems that make up their
everyday living. I kid, I kid. They’re not just first world
problems. They are issues, human issues. Problems that
we face as human beings. Feelings and psychological
states that we dwell in as we course through our life.

THE FOOL’S JOURNEY


The progression of the Major Arcana is often organized into
a coherent narrative through The Fool’s Journey. This is
the never-ending story of the human experience. The Fool’s
Journey is a story featuring The Fool (gasp, how did you
know!?) and his journey through the tarot landscape in
which he encounters and learns from the major archetypes.
The story starts with him meeting I The Magician, then II
The High Priestess, then III Empress…and so on and so
forth. He ultimately arrives at XXI The World, the final
chapter and point of spiritual completion and self-
actualization.

This may remind you of Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey,


which is a narrative pattern that is common in fiction, myth,
and psychological development. The Fool’s Journey,
similarly, tells of the story of its hero’s becoming.
LEVEL UP
WITH TAROT
UNLOCK THE MAGIC OF TAROT
The most epic thing about tarot is that it is a source of guidance
for all kinds of leveling up you want to accomplish in life. It is the
ultimate compass for spirituality, creativity, productivity, intuitive
living-y, and personal growth-y (sorry, my brain insisted on
rhyming). Tarot can help you navigate the journeys and
adventures that you choose embark on, aiding you in locating
your superpowers, inspiring you to become more connected to
your own authenticity and the human experience…
Ah, the list continues – and we’re just getting started! The realm
of tarot encompasses so much good stuff. Honestly, it is a never-
ending reel of soul-rich insights that have the power to transform
your life.
Before we get into specifics, let’s take pause and explore how
YOU feel about tarot and where you want to go next on this grand
adventure.
WHAT DOES TAROT MEAN TO YOU?
If you didn’t know already, tarot is a total spectrum! There are so many
different approaches, methods, beliefs, perspectives and philosophies
about tarot. Each person is unique in their way of practicing tarot – and
that is one of the best things about it! There isn’t just one way of doing
tarot and there is no wrong way.

Unless, well you use it to scare the crap out of people and tell them
that they’ve been cursed and you demand a fee to restore the integrity
of their family line – c’mon folks. Let’s not spread further notoriety for
the tarot community. Tarot is a tool, and how it is used largely depends
on the person holding and shuffling the deck. Without an actual
person, it really is just a print product and a pile of cardstock. It is my
belief that no matter where you stand on the tarot spectrum, you
should always use tarot to create empowerment. Tarot should always
help generate a positive momentum in one’s life, and should always
leave you feeling pretty badass and wonderful about taking on
whatever life has in store for you next.

or imagined?

TIPS & EXERCISES FOR MEMORIZING CARDS
78 cards. So you got 78 sets of definitions that you have to
know by heart and memorize! Not to mention the reversals.
If each card is reversible, and each card has two
perspectives or two sets of meaning that you have to
memorize…wait, does that mean you have to memorize,
gasp, 156 sets of definitions!? Holy Mother of Borderless
Decks! (Look up deck trimming)

I sincerely apologize if you’re hyperventilating right now and


reaching for a paper bag. Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it
sounds. First of all, it’s not a race. Tarot, like any subjects or
topics of learning, is a journey. A journey that you make at
your own pace. And you are not in grade school; you are
free of senseless deadlines and heartless pop quizzes from
diabolical teachers who like to torture you by making you
show how much you have learned.
Here are some tips, tricks and exercises you can do to
start tackling the daunting task of getting to know the 78
members of the tarot family. Don’t worry, if you get their
names wrong, they will only be extremely pissed at the fact
that you have so ungraciously and outrageously insulted
them.

Get a Tarot Journal


Find a way to record your findings and your insights. This will
allow you to track your growth and reflect on what you have
learned. Make sure it’s something that you enjoy. If you
enjoy pen and paper, get a notebook and start writing things
down. This could simply be the good old composition book, a
3-ring binder with loose sheets of paper, or if you’re fancy –
you can consider picking up a Moleskine or Leuchtturm. If
you enjoy typing and cloud space syncing, type out your
notes on Microsoft OneNote or Evernote, or start a blog. You
can even create voice recordings or video clips with your
phone, if your SD card is big enough to stomach your stream
of consciousness, that is. Whatever you do, have fun!

Be a Stalker
Now, I don’t mean real life stalking, so don’t go following
nobody! I mean that find a Youtuber, a blogger or a tarot
reader that you resonate with online and stalk them profusely.
Other than picking up a good tarot book to bury your nose
into, there are so many voices and resources online – you are
bound to find somebody who really inspires you.
Find a Tarot Buddy (s)
Find somebody to embark on the tarot adventure with you!
Study tarot with a friend. Find a forum to lurk and nerd out in.
Interact with like-minded individuals. Join an awesome tarot
group (such as Tarot Nerds – I’m there, come hang out with
me!). Or even better, start an actual study group in real life.
The point is to get somebody to do it with you!

Daily Draws
Perform daily draws. Practice reading with your deck by
meeting the cards one at a time every day. At the beginning of
your day or at the end, draw a card and reflect on its key
messages and themes, and how it may be relevant to the day
that is beginning or ending.

Study the Intersectionality of Tarot


The 78 cards of tarot aren’t separate from each other – it’s not
like you try to memorize one card, and the next card is
something completely off and different. When trying to
memorize the individual cards, start by understanding the
“bigger symbolic layers” that weave through each suit – the
“context” that the smaller cards are built on. For example:
o Study The Fool’s Journey for the Major Arcana
o Study the symbolic associations of each suit and its
corresponding element
o Study the numerological associations from 1 – 10
o Study how each number’s meaning can be altered
by the suit or element they are in
Personal Key Word
Reflect on each key word and ponder on what they mean to
you on a personal level. For example, if the key word you’ve
picked for the Chariot is “success”, how do you define success
and how do you feel about success? What are the successes
in your life and why are they considered successes? That is
way too many kus sounds—I think I just twisted my tongue.

Flash Backs
Connect each card with a significant moment in your life.
Think about why you have chosen that moment and how it
encapsulates the meaning of that card. This will help you see
the possible scenarios that can be represented by which tarot
card.

Customized Card Matching Game


Create a customized card-matching game. Assign a key word
for each card and write these key words on cue cards. Shuffle
your tarot deck and your deck of cue cards and try to match
the correct keyword with its associated tarot card. You can
even spice up the game by inviting a buddy to play tarot go
fish with you.

Do it Your Way
Whatever you do – make sure you do it in a way that makes
sense for you. There’s no wrong way of doing tarot – you are
free to discover your own path. That’s why it’s an adventure!
KNOWLEDGE VS WISDOM
Remember, it’s not a race! The most important thing when it
comes to knowing the cards is that your observations,
analysis and conclusions MUST go through the digestive
tracks of your brain (huh?) so that they may be processed
and internalized. This just means that you shouldn’t rush
through things just because you want to get them done –
you should take your time with it and move at a natural,
organic pace.

Your learning process may occur in a split second during a


spark of inspiration, or it may continue over a period of time.
Either way, studying tarot is a never-ending process
because your understanding of tarot will always change and
evolve, and so will your relationship with each card. The
definitions and your knowledge of tarot will always be in
flux, and that’s the wonderful thing about tarot. It never
stays the same—yet it is always the same.

Indeed, going through systematic studying helps create the


vocabulary that you need to converse with tarot and its
archetypes, but this must be matched with your own
mastery of the language of your soul. If you know by heart
the definitions of each card, the symbolic history and usage,
the alchemical and astrological associations—that’s
awesome and all, but if you don’t know what’s in your heart
to begin with, how can you translate and apply all that
esoteric and tarot knowledge to enrich the stories of your
own life?

Knowledge itself gives you the language you need to


channel your intuitive insights. Those insights, however,
come from you recognizing your own truths and your
worldviews. The tarot deck represents the human
experience. To tap into its wisdom, you must tap into the
wisdom that is your own as well. You have to connect with
yourself and what you have learned throughout life to
channel its messages.

Your knowledge of the tarot must be intimate, organic, both


cognitive and intuitive. When you combine your intellect and
your knowledge of tarot with your personal insight and
awareness—

Well, that’s when the magic of tarot happens.


DAILY DRAWS

anywhere is fine, really. You can even draw an emergency card if
you’re feeling particularly down at work in the middle of the day. If
you don’t have a deck of cards, considering downloading a tarot

plenty of apps available both on IOS and Android!

JOURNAL
TEMPLATES
GETTING STARTED
Choose your journaling medium. You don’t need an elaborate
system to start journaling – you don’t even need a fancy
notebook. You just need a place (be it pen and paper, a keyboard
and a screen, or just you and a camera) that makes you feel
comfortable as you do some spontaneous and thoughtful
braindumping. If you don’t know which one works best for you –
even better! Now you have an excuse to try everything.
Experiment and have fun!
Set aside time for journaling. Again, do what’s best for you. You
don’t really need to “schedule it in” or make it into a regular thing if
doing so will kill the fun of studying and stress you out – you can
always just journal whenever you feel like. But if you’re a beginner
and you’re committed to learning tarot and getting the definitions
down ASAP – then having a regular ritual does help because it
gives you the consistency you need to regularly improve. 10-15
minutes a day is pretty good for making steady progress. It gives
you just enough time to work with at least one card from your
chosen deck and it’s not too long to the point where thinking
about it makes you feel like a stress-elephant is sitting on your
shoulders and sinking down into your existence.

HOW TO USE THE JOURNAL TEMPLATES


Always Explore. There are many ways you can journal – you can
write down a reading that you did for yourself, a reading that you
did for others, or even a reading you did for a fictional character.
You can draw a card and paint a page of your bullet journal with
stunning watercolor. You can put down a mindmap. You can
doodle. You can write down some of the favourite songs that you
play in your head when you look at a certain card. The
possibilities are endless, so never stop exploring!
Choose an Adventure. But having that said, the templates that
you will find in the next few pages are more like “prompts” or
“focus areas” and they are designed to take you through the 78
cards of tarot card by card. There are 12 templates - 12 “routes”
or “adventures” that you can choose to embark on depending on
who you are, how you want to approach tarot, and what’s relevant
to you and what interests you at the moment.
For Example. If you’re a beginner and this is your first time
journaling about tarot, you may choose “The
Fool’s Journey” route. Every time you The Fool’s Journey
journal, you will focus on one card and Key Words:
follow the journal prompts. You will jot down First Impressions:
the key words associated with that card, Standard Definition:
your first impressions when looking at that Personal Interpretation:
card, the standard book definition of that card, and your personal
interpretations of the card. You will then repeat the process and
do the same thing for the next card you work with, until you
journal your way through all 78 cards and complete The Fool’s
Journey. You can go through the cards in order (starting from The
Fool to The World, and then moving on to the Minor Arcana), or
you can draw a random card each time.
The Next Chapter. When you’ve journaled through all 78 cards,
you may choose to take a break on journaling, or choose another
adventure to embark on! You may choose The Life Guru route so
you may explore what each card can represent when it comes to
life areas. You may choose the Stargazer route and study tarot
with astrology.
More Uses!? You can use them to begin your tarot journey and
go through them one by one. If you’re already a journaler and
you’re just looking for ways to expand on your tarot study, you
can also choose the templates that you like and explore different
ways to approach tarot. Heck, you can even use these journal
prompts or an oracle deck or affirmation cards. You can even
print the journal template pages, cut out each block and make
them into journal card prompts. They are super flexible and “multi-
usable”, so use the crap out of them! �

HAPPY JOURNALING
In the next page, you will find a quick reference guide for each
journal template and how you can best utilize them. If you’re
eager to dig into the templates, they’re just a page ahead, so
keep scrolling!
