The Major Arcana

 For centuries, tarot has been used as a way to ask questions, notice patterns, and see ourselves from a new angle. The 22 cards of the Major Arcana are its heart, each one a doorway into a different part of the human story, from the first leap of the Fool to the completion of the World.

Every card holds two things. Its archetype is the personality it reflects: who you are, how you move through the world. Its energy is what it says about this moment of your life: what’s rising, shifting, or asking for your attention.

Some people are drawn to a card because it sounds like them. Others because it matches what they’re living through right now. Either way, the card that finds you is the right one.

Each card here has 8 charms chosen to carry its imagery and meaning, so you can wear your card, or the card you need, close to you.

Not sure which card is yours?

 If you are not sure of which card is best for you, this short quiz can point you toward your archetype. It’s just for fun, and there are no wrong answers.
