Where Are You Spiritually According to the major Arcana?
I have been studying and practicing the Tarot particularly here at Kashi Ashram where I have been a monk and devotee for over 40 years.
The 22 cards of the Tarot, Major Arcana, distinguished from the 56 Minor Arcana, deal mainly with the spiritual challenges along the path. Beginning with the Fool card, one sees how they reflect worldly wisdom, power and intellect via the first 10 cards. Upon encountering the Hermit, No. 9, however, one awakens to their spiritual journey. The remainder of the cards, containing challenges, insights and blessings, awaken you further as you proceed toward the final card representing freedom and union with the Self.
While most people claim to be on the spiritual path, they are not always willing to take the steps necessary to free themselves to bask in the final liberation reflected by the end card, The World. One always struggles with duality in proceeding along the path and it is reflected in these 22 cards.
However, when you awaken and tire of dallying and habituation, you are compelled to take the next step. Consulting the Major Arcana at that time hopefully unties some of the knots that keep you from progressing. Essentially they bring you insight and awareness to ease an obstruction.
If you are a student of the Tarot and particularly of your path, ask the cards in the Major Arcana to reveal the truth of where you stand in relationship to your journey. Be aware that it takes courage to ask questions such as “Where am I now on the path? What must I free myself of to proceed along the path?”
If you are a sincere practitioner and wish for some self knowledge, accompanied by compassion and awareness, write me for an hour appointment. I charge $100 an hour for exploration into this self discovery. Love, Uma
