Studying the Tarot de Marseille is like learning a language, reading an alphabet made up of colored cards called “arcana” or “blades”. It is also feeling at a glance all the subtleties present in certain blades, in a print (symbol, position, emblem, object) in order to convey the essential message.
Remember that the tarot warns whoever asks for it. He will always be benevolent in pointing out possible risks, but his most remarkable usefulness is that he shows the most likely route to bring his projects to fruition.
