Major Arcana

The Major Arcana cards are the most recognizable and impactful cards in a Tarot deck. These 22 cards represent situations we all face in the grand scheme of life, with each carrying specific messages of perspective and guidance to help you in times of need. While the Minor Arcana cards focus on the everyday actions and decisions you must face, these Major Arcana cards reveal messages about the bigger picture of your life and its long-term direction.

Though each of the Major Arcana cards stands alone with its own deep meanings and influences, these 22 Tarot cards also tell a story.

The Fool

The Emporer

Murdok – Let me show the rules of combat

An idealist since childhood, Murdock picked fights with bullies and criminals until Lt. Belica guided him into law enforcement.

Strength

Greystone – Go with the flow but do not break
