The Major Arcana of the Tarot are authentic symbols. They conceal and reveal their sense at one and the same time according to the depth of meditation. That which they reveal are not secrets, i.e. things hidden by human will, but are arcana, which is something quite different. An arcanum is that which is necessary to “know” in order to be fruitful in a given domain of spiritual life. It is that which must be actively present in our consciousness— or even in our subconscious— in order to render us capable of making discoveries, engendering new ideas, conceiving of new artistic subjects… if the mentality and morality of the recipient is ready… and does not suffer from the most serious spiritual malady: self-complacency.
