Major Arcana
The story of the Major Arcana can be read as a “soul road.” Very briefly, they say that each person is born pretty much unformed by life and society but that s/he will go through a fairly predictable series of learnings and in the process achieve new levels of psychological and spiritual organization. Ultimately each person comes through the process and ends up a fully formed human individual. That is, each person is both an individual with all his or her oddities and at the same time s/he has some deep similarities with other human beings. The series of learnings — the steps between soul-infancy and soul-power — are represented by the major arcana cards.
(A note on these meanings: the internet is full of sites that list what the cards mean. Go ahead and read the interesting ones. Create a story for yourself based on what you learn. Adapt it to what you know about the world. Keep learning new things and reassess what you know about what the cards mean. Look at the cards and see if you can come up with a story that fits the images and the development between the images. The core structures and symbologies remain fairly constant, but interpretations are relatively fluid. They just can’t be so fluid as to undermine the essential components. For example, water is always associated with fluidity. If your interpretation messes with that, it isn’t going to work well for you.)
