The Holy Book – Volume 1

The Major Arcana cards read like a book that follows the journey of a human soul through life.

The HierophantThe Hierophant – The school child forming ideas about the world

The LoversThe Lovers – The teenager beginning to make choices about what they want and who they want to be with.

The ChariotThe Chariot – The young adult striving for success.

What about you? What’s your take on the first 8 cards of the Holy Book of Tarot?
