After John Ballantrae's Tarot for 21st Century show Monday night Blog Talk Radio, the question on the difference between major and minor cards came up, so I shuffled and drew two cards one for the major: The Magician reversed and the other for the minor: Ace Wands upright.
Tuesday I spent most of the day writing pages and pages of information on each card, there was some good stuff in my writing but not easy to digest it was all a confusing mess really, this tussle continued within my mind throughout that day and the next.
Wednesday afternoon I was walking along the south cliffs with a friends dog, I glanced out to sea and I spotted a Dolphin, for three minutes I was entranced, he was beautiful, playful, charming, graceful and free. Suddenly he was gone... within seconds the mist rolled in, did he sense this change, perhaps? At that moment I became The Fool I really wanted to climb down the cliff edge, just incase I could get another moment or two and enjoy him a little longer, however, I know my trusty companion would not of followed me, sensing the danger he would of signaled his distress.
I lingered for a moment and walked on........major cards are about change and minor cards are about choices, ok that feels alright to me, I felt as light as a feather.
Thursday night John Ballantrae's show helped enormously, I felt I was completing a circle.
Major cards..... are shaped round in the manner of things eternal and stable, Sun, World, God.
Minor cards..... things which lead us to ends, arrows, road, mans life on earth.
I value and love the Tarot.
