For the next 22 days we'll be sharing the cards of the Major Arcana on our Kismet Twitter account. Follow along to see each one, as designed and animated especially for Kismet, and learn about what the cards mean in under 140 characters.
What exactly IS the Major Arcana? The Major Arcana represent the core of a deck of Tarot cards, and are considered to be the most important cards in the deck. Each Major Arcana card is numbered, from 1-21 (with The Fool, #0, a wild card) following a sequence of a person's life, from beginning to end. As you traverse the deck in order, you see characters, symbols, and situations that relate to different moments and stages of life, not necessarily good or bad, but distinct from one another. What each card means depends on the question you have asked, where it shows up in your particular reading, and the interpretation of your intuitive.
Today we featured The Magician, the first numbered card in the deck. The Magician offers a sudden solution, as if by magic - but it may be just an illusion.
