Minor Arcana
By:
Post # 1
Ok so I'm having trouble dealing with learning the minor arcana. I understand the elements pretty well, but the numbers is what I dont understand. I mean there is a pattern right? Like 1 means something and because its "this" element it means "this". or do I just have to memorize individual cards?

Any good books to help with this?

The numbers do have generalized meanings within each elemental suit. For example, the aces are considered the raw potential of a suit. So the ace of swords might mean that you are beginning to have some new ideas on a subject. You can just memorize the meanings of each card as a start to have good background information, but I think it is also important to be flexible in your thinking and use your own intuition in reading cards within spreads.

I am sure there are plenty of books out there, but before you spend any cash I will direct you to a site that helped me out with the card meanings a great deal:

Hope that helps! Blessings!

A little understanding and research of numerology will probably help you out too. It provides more indepth meaning for the cards, and will also help cement the meaning a little more for you with each one. At least, that's how it was for me :)

Best of luck!
