The cards of the Major Arcana (or “greater secrets”) generally reflect aspects of the inner self, the emotional and/or spiritual growth that we encounter along the journey of life, and significant events and turning points on one’s individual path. By contrast, the cards in the Minor Arcana (or “lesser secrets”) typically represent the more mundane elements of everyday life, through which we discover, experience, and apply the “lessons” represented by the Major Arcana.
