YI · Yi’s reflection perspective
Tarot Major Arcana: meanings and a reflective draw
Use 22 upright Major Arcana to distinguish what you see, what the study notes say and what you associate with them. One or three cards offer another perspective on a question of your own.
Use cards for reflection, not prediction. Cards offer a starting point for reflection. Check the facts and make your own decisions.
