Major arcana

The World

Recognise what has come together.

  • Completion
  • Wholeness
  • Integration

What the card shows

The World dances within a wreath, a cycle completed. The card celebrates arrival and integration, and quietly prepares the ground for the next beginning.

The World marks completion and integration. Take a moment to see the effort behind what is finished before moving to the next task.

Among the major arcana

The 22 major arcana trace a long arc of experience, from the Fool’s first step to the completion of the World. They are often read as the larger themes in a life: beginnings, choices, endings and renewal.
