Major Arcana behind me. I will start with Swords next, because I like swords and want to kinda redeem their negative reputation.
Major Arcana are cards of great concepts, like change, excess, cycles or roles in society. Numbered Minor Arcana are more about down-to-earth life situations. Courts (page, knight, queen and king) represent archetypes of people.
Minor Arcana is divided into four suits. Each suit has element and topic associated. Coins or pentacles are associated with earth and their topic is material wealth. Staves or wands are associated with fire and their topic is power and domination. Cups are associated with water and topic of social interactions. Swords are associated with air and intellectual pursuits.
Swords have a lot of bad rep, probably because we still have this strange association in our society that a person can be either smart or happy. I hope to remedy that a bit by focusing on less stagnant interpretations.
