Work in Progress

The Minor Arcana

The Minor Arcana in this deck are not illustrated as scenes, but structured as a system. Each card represents a stage in a repeating dialectical process—emergence, tension, stabilization, breakdown, adjustment, and integration—expressed through the domain of its suit. Rather than telling a fixed story or assigning a static meaning, the cards show where a situation stands and how it is developing. The result is a set of tools for orientation: not what is happening, but how it is unfolding, and what that stage requires.
Follow the progress as these suit cards are created.
