The Four Seasons Blends & Tarot
From The Flower Attunement Tarot:
The Major Arcana is a key component of the Tarot deck, consisting of 22 cards that hold significant symbolic and archetypal meaning. These cards represent important life lessons, spiritual growth, and transformative experiences. Each card in the Major Arcana carries its own unique symbolism and message, contributing to the overall narrative and journey depicted in a Tarot reading.
The significance of the Major Arcana lies in its ability to tap into the collective unconscious and offer profound insights into the human condition. These cards often represent major turning points, challenges, or opportunities in life. They provide guidance and illumination, helping individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their circumstances, and the path they are on.
The Major Arcana cards are numbered from 0 to 21, with each number corresponding to a specific card and its associated meaning. The Fool card, representing the number 0, symbolizes new beginnings, spontaneity, and taking risks. The following cards depict various stages and archetypes encountered on the journey, such as the Empress (fertility, abundance), the Chariot (willpower, determination), the Hanged Man (sacrifice, surrender), and the World (completion, fulfillment).
As a whole, the Major Arcana forms a narrative or a story that mirrors the trials, triumphs, and spiritual growth that individuals experience in their lives. They offer guidance and insight, encouraging self-reflection and exploration. Whether used for divination or self-reflection, the Major Arcana holds a powerful and significant role in helping individuals navigate life's complexities, make decisions, and gain deeper insights into their own personal journeys.
The tarot can be related to the four seasons in a few different ways. One way to interpret the connection is through the suits of the tarot deck. The four suits, which are typically represented by wands, cups, swords, and pentacles, can be associated with the seasons. Wands can symbolize spring, representing growth, creativity, and new beginnings. Cups can relate to summer, representing emotions, relationships, and abundance. Swords can be connected to autumn, representing intellect, challenges, and transformation. And pentacles can be linked to winter, representing stability, material wealth, and grounding.
Another way to relate the tarot to the four seasons is through the major arcana cards. Each card in the major arcana can represent a different aspect of life, including different stages or energy associated with the seasons. For example, The Fool card can be associated with spring, representing new beginnings and taking risks. The Sun card can relate to summer, symbolizing warmth, joy, and vitality. The Death card can be connected to autumn, representing transformation, letting go, and the cycle of life. And The World card can be linked to winter, symbolizing completion, fulfillment, and the end of a cycle.
Ultimately, the connection between the tarot and the four seasons can be a personal interpretation, and different people may associate different cards or aspects of the tarot with each season

The four seasons blends are designed to give support, calm, vitality, and an adaptogenic effect to our mind, body, and spirit. This allows us to move fluidly through all the transitions and seasons of our lives.
