Minor Arcana

Minor Arcana:

These fifty-six cards represent our daily victories, mindsets, and struggles. These cards are organized in four suits with corresponding elements and meanings. Click on the bolded and underlined title to connect with all the cards in each suit.

  • Wands: fire, action, energy, creativity, warmth, the light in another’s eyes, connection to the Sun and Mars. Magical Nature Tarot (MNT) wand cards depict both wands and golden “fire” (created by dropping Copper oxide in Coreopsis ink).
  • Cups: water, tears, flow, emotions, intuition, waves, tides, connection to the Moon and Venus. MNT cup images come in a variety of colors and shapes. Copper oxide ink (light blue-green color) is in most cups cards.
  • Swords: air, the mind, fortitude, a strong spine, cutting or slicing, boundaries, intellectual activity, connection to Saturn. The MNT sword images vary in size, style, and color and are often made out of Acorn cap or Black walnut ink.
  • Pentacles: grounding, gratitude, soil, interconnectivity, moving at a slow pace, connection to the Earth and Mercury. These MNT cards have round, crystalline talismans created by dropping Copper oxide in different inks (usually Black walnut).
