The first five cards, The Magician, The High Priestess…
““The first five cards, The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor, and The Hierophant show the various attributes of a person in ordinary life: infinite potential (and possessing all the skills they need), a sense of mystery - something more out there - a connection with the natural order of things, and an awareness that society runs on authority from the state and faith in high ideals to function normally. The first five cards represent the life we have at the beginning of any journey.””
