The 22 cards numbered 0-21 forming the core group of the tarot deck. They represent life's major turning points, spiritual transformations, and archetypal forces. The journey from The Fool (0) to The World (21) is known as 'The Fool's Journey'.

A conscious dream state where the dreamer is aware they are dreaming and can sometimes direct the dream's flow. Studied from ancient Tibetan tradition to modern neuroscience.
Full entryPalmistry
The line starting between thumb and index finger, curving around the palm toward the wrist. Tradition does not read its length as a measure of time but as vitality, rhythm of life, and changes in one's way of living.
Full entryChakras
Dormant spiritual energy depicted as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine. When awakened, it rises through all chakras, leading to consciousness expansion.
Full entryRunes
The oldest and most widely used runic alphabet. Used by Germanic peoples from 2nd-8th centuries CE. Consists of 24 runes divided into three groups of eight (aetts). Named from the sounds of the first six runes: F-U-Þ-A-R-K.
Full entryI Ching
Six-line figures that form the basic units of the I Ching. There are 64 different hexagrams, each consisting of two stacked trigrams. Each hexagram represents a unique life situation and wisdom.
Full entry394 terms
The glossary holds 394 terms across 11 disciplines: astrology, tarot, coffee reading, dream interpretation, numerology, palmistry, face reading, I Ching, runes, crystals and chakras. Each term has its own page.
Each definition follows the established framework of its tradition: Freud's and Jung's psychology and Islamic dream interpretation for dream terms, the classic Yijing text for I Ching, the Elder Futhark alphabet for runes, and the Western house and aspect system for astrology.
No. Astrology, fortune telling and similar practices are not predictive tools validated by the scientific method. The glossary explains these concepts in their cultural and historical context; readings are meant for self-reflection and entertainment.
