The Tarot: A Visual Guide to the Major Arcana
This 24" x 36" poster maps out the Major Arcana and offers interpretations for each row, column, and card. The interpretations offered are for seeing these 22 cards as a map of the archetypical mind, and a path to enlightenment.
The columns are organized into groups and are numbered and labeled as follows:
THE CHALLENGED SELF
1. POWER / CONFRONTATION / MATRIX
2. SPIRIT / REFLECTION / POTENTIATOR
THE CENTRAL TRANSFORMATION
3. NATURE / CATALYST
4. HUMANITY / EXPERIENCE
5. DIVINITY / SIGNIFICATOR
THE ELEVATED SELF
6. RELEASE /
THE TRANSFORMATION
7. THE WHOLE BEING / THE GREAT WAY
The rows are labeled as follows:
Consciousness/Mind
The outer world: representing both the journey from childhood to functional adulthood, and the path from chaos to human society.
Subconscious/Body
The inner world: representing a personal journey of self-discovery, of knowing why we act and, through that, finding meaning, spiritual awakening, and harmony.
Superconscious/Spirit
The universal world: representing a journey beyond individual consciousness to enlightenment and a union with the oneness of all life, all time, everywhere.
So I offer that we end up with a grid and the meaning of columns repeats as move down the grid. For example, the Challenged Self that starts in Consciousness, repeats in the Subconscious, and again in the Superconscious. And so it is goes, I offer, for all of the columns.
