9 | The Hermit Tarot Card Keychain | Major Arcana | Divination The Major Arcana Tarot cards represent the life lessons, karmic influences & the big archetypal themes that are influencing your life & your soul's journey to enlightenment. The Major Arcana cards include 21 numbered cards & 1 unnumbered card (the Fool).
