The Major Arcana: The Major Arcana is comprised of 22 cards, numbered 0-21. They are otherwise known as trump cards, and tend to carry a heavier or more significant energy than that of the cards in each suit. The basis for these cards is to tell the story of the Fool, the card numbered 0, as he makes his journey through the different realms of human consciousness on his journey to enlightenment. Within each card is a new lesson, trial, or experience. Ending up finally at the World card, having successfully gained the knowledge he was searching for.

In Readings: You can do readings using only the Major Arcana cards if you wish. It is possible to get an accurate reading this way, although I would recommend it more for smaller spreads. Should a large number of the Major Arcana cards show themselves in a reading in which you are using the entire deck, this energy should be acknowledged.
