It was up to her, but she was going to get back to her discussion. After glancing once again at the spot near the wall, as if she expected a response from the invisible.
"Anyway, back to the Minor Arcana," she finally said, getting herself back on track. "The literal intent of that name is 'lesser secrets', and most commonly the meanings brought by those cards depict anything related to everyday life, explained by the suits, the natural elements attached to each suit, wands to fire, cups to water, swords to air and coins or pentacles to earth, and the specific numbers attached to each card. The numbered cards represent everyday events, while the court cards in each suit, or the king, queen, knight and page, can describe people, or significant details of a person."
"The Major Arcana, in contrast, are the 'big secrets', important milestones, events that we can't control, changes and growth. There are 22 cards inthe Major Arcana, all of which are associated with Spirit as their element and are numbered zero through twenty-one. Jake and Treyen seem to have given us three of the cards already, but would anyone else like to provide any of the others?
ooc: You know the drill. One per answer, no edits, etc.
Zoning out.... thats like meditating right? Whichever is the case, thats the only thing the Slytherin lad was doing since he laid eyes on the Divinations Professor. The discussion seemed to him like birds chirping and bees buzzing-- he could hear them not necessarily understand them
After all he is Slytherin, shouldnt he be more partial to Parseltongue?
Ah but the lovely brunette in front of the class started to speak about the Major Arcana and Salander suddenly remembered the homework from last term, "Uh there's the Elephant...." then paused. No that wasnt it, there were no large grey mammals in there "Uhm I mean, there's something called the Pope?" |
