Major Arcana
The Major Arcana constitute the main body of the Tarot. There are 22 of them and they represent an initiatory journey that starts with the number 1 and arrives at 21.
The Major Arcana are marked by a name and a number. The number is marked in high progressive order, because the tarot works in the logic of evolution.
A classic structure of the tarot provides for the subdivision of the Major Arcana in two decades, the first from I to X in which there are Arcana representing the conscious part, the aspects of material and social life, while the second decade, from XI to XXI represents the unconscious part, the inner forces, less realistic but more conceptual, related to the “dark” sphere of the psyche.
