Well now, I reckon you’re curious about how them tarot cards go in order, huh? Let me tell ya, it’s a bit of a mystery, just like how them chickens always find their way back home no matter where they wander off to. Some folks say the order’s got meaning, and some say it don’t. But one thing’s for sure – the cards got a way of makin’ sense when ya start lookin’ at ’em proper.
So, let’s start with the big ones, the Major Arcana. That’s the cards that tell ya the big stories, like when you’re thinkin’ ’bout life changes, or big decisions. They don’t deal with the little stuff like what you’re gonna have for supper or what time you gotta wake up to milk the cow. Nah, these cards are for the big stuff, the life-altering kinda things.
Now, these Major Arcana cards come first in the deck. They start with the Fool, which is number zero, kinda like how every journey starts from nothin’. Then, they go all the way up to The World, which is the last card. But don’t ask me why it goes this way. No one really knows for sure, and folks’ve been arguein’ ‘bout it for centuries. It just is what it is.
After them Major Arcana cards, you got the Minor Arcana. These are the ones that deal with everyday stuff, the kinda things you might see in your regular life. They’re split up into four suits, like how folks got their little groups, you know. Each suit got 14 cards, and they’re named after things you’d probably find around the farm or the village – Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles.
Now let me break it down for ya:
- Wands – That’s the suit of Fire. It’s all ’bout action, energy, and movin’ fast like a whirlwind in the summertime.
- Cups – This one’s all ’bout Water. Emotions, feelings, and all that sappy stuff. It’s like sittin’ by the creek, watchin’ the water flow and thinkin’ ‘bout life.
- Swords – Air, that’s what this one is. It’s about thoughts, ideas, and sometimes, conflict. Like when two neighbors get to fussin’ over who’s gonna plant in the field first.
- Pentacles – And last, we got Earth. This one’s about money, work, and all the things that keep your feet on the ground, like makin’ sure your barn don’t fall down in the next storm.
Now, how all these suits come in order, that’s a bit tricky. Some folks say the Wands always come first, and I reckon it makes sense – they’re the fire, the spark to get things goin’. After that, the Cups come next, all that watery emotion stuff. Then, we got Swords – the thinking, the decision-makin’ – and finally, Pentacles come last, ‘cause that’s the things that hold up the world, like the ground we stand on.
But I tell ya, there ain’t no one right way to lay them cards out. Some decks do it different, some folks like to mix ‘em up just to make it more interesting. And I reckon that’s the fun of it – it’s like when you’re bakin’ a pie, and you don’t follow the recipe exactly, but it still turns out good enough to eat.
So, in the end, the order of tarot cards don’t matter all that much, at least not in the way folks try to make it out. It’s all about how they speak to you when you look at ’em. Some folks say the cards help ya make sense of life, and others think it’s all a bunch of mumbo jumbo. But either way, they sure got a way of showin’ you things you might not have thought of before.
And that’s all I gotta say about the order of them tarot cards. You just gotta trust in ’em, even if you don’t understand all the fancy talk. If you ask me, it’s all ’bout lettin’ them cards tell you their story, and not worryin’ too much ‘bout the order they come in.
