The Minor Arcana

The Minor Arcana are the suits of the Tarot deck. They are now quite as powerful and far reaching as the Major Arcana, but are no less important. Each suit also represents a journey. However this journey shows progression through the influence of the suit itself rather than the whole of our life's path.

In general, the ace of the suit represents that suit's energy in potential. When we reach the 10, that potential has been realised. The court cards represent the way we can deal with and access the energy of the suit. Maids are the apprentices, learning how to begin. Knights take hold of the energy and act with it. Queens make use of the energy with wisdom. Kings are the final arbiters and masters of the energy.
