| § 3 THE GREATER ARCANA AND THEIR DIVINATORY MEANINGS |
Such are the intimations of the Lesser Arcana in respect of divinatory art, the veridic nature of which seems to depend
on an alternative that it may be serviceable to express briefly. The records of the art are ex hypothesi the records of
findings in the past based upon experience; as such, they are a guide to memory, and those who can master the
elements may--still ex hypothesi--give interpretations on their basis. It is an official and automatic working. On the other
hand, those who have gifts of intuition, of second sight, of clairvoyance--call it as we choose and may--will supplement
the experience of the past by the findings of their own faculty, and will speak of that which they have seen in the pretexts
of the oracles. It remains to give, also briefly, the divinatory significance allocated by the same art to the Trumps Major.
1. THE MAGICIAN.--Skill, diplomacy, address, subtlety; sickness, pain, loss, disaster, snares of enemies;
self-confidence, will; the Querent, if male. Reversed: Physician, Magus, mental disease, disgrace, disquiet.
2. THE HIGH PRIESTESS.--Secrets, mystery, the future as yet unrevealed; the woman who interests the Querent, if
male; the Querent herself, if female; silence, tenacity; mystery, wisdom, science. Reversed: Passion, moral or physical
ardour, conceit, surface knowledge.
3. THE EMPRESS.--Fruitfulness, action, initiative, length of days; the unknown, clandestine; also difficulty, doubt,
ignorance. Reversed: Light, truth, the unravelling of involved matters, public rejoicings; according to another reading,
vacillation.
4. THE EMPEROR.--Stability, power, protection, realization; a great person; aid, reason, conviction; also authority and
will. Reversed: Benevolence, compassion, credit; also confusion to enemies, obstruction, immaturity.
5. THE HIEROPHANT.--Marriage, alliance, captivity, servitude; by another account, mercy and goodness; inspiration; the
man to whom the Querent has recourse. Reversed: Society, good understanding, concord, overkindness, weakness.
6. THE LOVERS.--Attraction, love, beauty, trials overcome. Reversed: Failure, foolish designs. Another account speaks
of marriage frustrated and contrarieties of all kinds.
7. THE CHARIOT.--Succour, providence also war, triumph, presumption, vengeance, trouble. Reversed: Riot, quarrel,
dispute, litigation, defeat.
8. FORTITUDE.--Power, energy, action, courage, magnanimity; also complete success and honours. Reversed:
Despotism, abuse if power, weakness, discord, sometimes even disgrace.
9. THE HERMIT.--Prudence, circumspection; also and especially treason, dissimulation, roguery, corruption. Reversed:
Concealment, disguise, policy, fear, unreasoned caution.
10. WHEEL OF FORTUNE.-Destiny, fortune, success, elevation, luck, felicity. Reversed: Increase, abundance,
superfluity.
11. JUSTICE.--Equity, rightness, probity, executive; triumph of the deserving side in law. Reversed: Law in all its
departments, legal complications, bigotry, bias, excessive severity.
12. THE HANGED MAN.--Wisdom, circumspection, discernment, trials, sacrifice, intuition, divination, prophecy.
Reversed: Selfishness, the crowd, body politic.
13. DEATH.--End, mortality, destruction, corruption also, for a man, the loss of a benefactor for a woman, many
contrarieties; for a maid, failure of marriage projects. Reversed: Inertia, sleep, lethargy, petrifaction, somnambulism;
hope destroyed.
14. TEMPERANCE.--Economy, moderation, frugality, management, accommodation. Reversed: Things connected with
churches, religions, sects, the priesthood, sometimes even the priest who will marry the Querent; also disunion,
unfortunate combinations, competing interests.
15. THE DEVIL.--Ravage, violence, vehemence, extraordinary efforts, force, fatality; that which is predestined but is not
for this reason evil. Reversed: Evil fatality, weakness, pettiness, blindness.
16. THE TOWER.--Misery, distress, indigence, adversity, calamity, disgrace, deception, ruin. It is a card in particular of
unforeseen catastrophe. Reversed: According to one account, the same in a lesser degree also oppression,
imprisonment, tyranny.
17. THE STAR.--Loss, theft, privation, abandonment; another reading says-hope and bright prospects, Reversed:
Arrogance, haughtiness, impotence.
18. THE MOON.--Hidden enemies, danger, calumny, darkness, terror, deception, occult forces, error. Reversed:
Instability, inconstancy, silence, lesser degrees of deception and error.
19. THE SUN.--Material happiness, fortunate marriage, contentment. Reversed: The same in a lesser sense.
20. THE LAST JUDGMENT.--Change of position, renewal, outcome. Another account specifies total loss though lawsuit.
Reversed: Weakness, pusillanimity, simplicity; also deliberation, decision, sentence.
ZERO. THE FOOL.--Folly, mania, extravagance, intoxication, delirium, frenzy, bewrayment. Reversed: Negligence,
absence, distribution, carelessness, apathy, nullity, vanity.
21. THE WORLD.--Assured success, recompense, voyage, route, emigration, flight, change of place. Reversed: Inertia,
fixity, stagnation, permanence.
It will be seen that, except where there is an irresistible suggestion conveyed by the surface meaning, that which is
extracted from the Trumps Major by the divinatory art is at once artificial and arbitrary, as it seems to me, in the highest
degree. But of one order are the mysteries of light and of another are those of fantasy. The allocation of a
fortune-telling aspect to these cards is the story of a prolonged impertinence.

It will be observed (1) that these additamenta have little connexion with the pictorial designs of the cards to which they
refer, as these correspond with the more important speculative values; (2) and further that the additional meanings are
very often in disagreement with those previously given. All meanings are largely independent of one another and all are
reduced, accentuated or subject to modification and sometimes almost reversal by their place in a sequence. There is
scarcely any canon of criticism in matters of this kind. I suppose that in proportion as any system descends from
generalities to details it becomes naturally the more precarious; and in the records of professional fortune-telling, it
offers more of the dregs and lees of the subject. At the same time, divinations based on intuition and second sight are of
little practical value unless they come down from the region of universals to that of particulars; but in proportion as this
gift is present in a particular case, the specific meanings recorded by past cartomancists will be disregarded in favour of
the personal appreciation of card values.
This has been intimated already. It seems necessary to add the following speculative readings.
