The more layers you learn the deeper your knowledge and insight into tarot card meanings. There are layers upon layers of systems to learn, including Kabbalah, the tree of life, colour scales, Hebrew letters, numerology, pathways, symbolism, alchemy, astrology, mythology and learning to meditate with each card directly. You should choose your own deck by being drawn to it intuitively. There are many ways of working with the deck. There are four elements or suits: Fire, Earth, Air and Water, with 10 cards in each. There are 56 Minor Arcana cards, sixteen Court or Personality cards the Kings, Queens, Princes and Pages, just like modern playing cards. A traditional deck has 22 Major Arcana (or trumps) which are the archetypal images. There are now thousands of types of tarot decks to choose from, Hello Kitty to zombies. It’s not magic - tarot cards are a sacred mirror. This is what tarot occultists call the conversation with your higher self. The choice of a card is exactly what your higher self already knows. In synchronicity, there is no distinction between inner and outer. The process is known as synchronicity, a term coined by psychologist Carl Jung to describe the temporally coincident occurrence of events. There are schools where you can study tarot card meanings, and huge communities with thousands of Tarosophists who meet online and at conventions around the world. They weren’t interpreted for spiritual divination until the 18th century.

The tarot is in essence a soul map, a deep psychological guide to self-empowerment as imaged through 78 symbolic cards.
