Your Questions About Tarot Meanings

John asks…

What are the meanings of the Minor Arcana of Tarot?

I have been studying Tarot for a while now, however, I can’t seem to graps a solid meaning of the Minor Arcana in both Non-reversed or reversed state. I’ve looked at various resources, but they all seem to clash and negate each others meanings. I do know that the minor is not as powerful as the major, if I used the right word. But I would like to know all the meaning of the cards.
Can anyone help me please :)
Thank you for all the advice everyone! It always seems to unclear when I try to read a spread, it always gets foggy when the minors come. I may need to, like you said, meditate on them.
Thing is (lol), I have done that, I’ve been doing for a bit now (I won’t say a while becuase it hasnt been a while), and the only one’s I have been able to are the Four of Cups, Seven of Swords, Eight of Wands, Ace of Pentacles, and the Nine of Cups. I probably need to just get more practice and meditate more on them and it will come to me. I was mainly wondering does it depend on the deck? Do different decks aspire different meanings of the cards? (if these is an ignorant question, please feel free to tell me so!)

TarotTrumps answers:

Certainly.
Minor arcana have modern meanings largely defined by the Golden Dawn. In addition, the Rider Waite deck gives images for the meanings that are fairly accurate.

The problem you are having is that you want a black and white answer. There is none. The images are intended to stimulate your creative and intuitive understanding of the card. Try any book by Gray on the subject, he has a good solid set of meanings. Or, take the course from BOTA. They are good at training in the cards. Mail order courses, but I hear they are excellent.

Tarot Through the Ages

Author: Rhyanna Regan

Tarot cards, in the images we are most familiar with today, evolved from a kind of table game played in 15th century Italy, becaming popular throughout Europe over the next four centuries.

To fully explore the history of Tarot, you can read the expansive book by Michael Dummet, The Game of Tarot: From Ferrara to Salt Lake City (Duckworth, 1980). Dummet, a British philosopher of high regard, is the author of many books on the Tarot. His scholarship on Tarot is extensive, and provides much of the research available on the origins of the Tarot deck and its variations.

Tarot originally would have been a pastime of the leisure class, those with the time and money to spend on games. Certainly at that time the cards were handmade and illustrated by artists, and each set would vary with the individual artist’s representation of the card’s images. (more…)
