The minor arcana: the 4 pillars of the tarot

The 22 major arcana, thanks to their figurative representations, form a kind of mirror of the self, a catalog of the great universal symbols inscribed in the collective unconscious.Instead, the 56 minor arcana are a less explored mysterious subject. However, their ability to stimulate imagination and creativity, to go beyond the image to unearth the archetype that gave birth to them, opens up a vast field of possibilities. It is enough to implement an entire methodology based on the symbolism of numbers and the evocation of archetypes rooted in our body and experience. This work proposes a new perspective on the minor arcana, re-inscribing them in the symbolic universe of the Tarot, where they have a privileged place.
