Not
many people probably think of the Tarot and the elements as
being as deeply entwined as they should be but they are.
As a Wiccan, I associate them and meditate on them in that
manner.
In fact, do not be
surprised if later you see visualization/meditation exercise
later on on some of the key cards.
The elements and the Minor Arcana are very
interwoven.
Swords: Season of Spring. The Athame,
Direction of the East, the sunrise, The element of Air and the
power of the mind.
Wands: Season of Summer, The
Wand, Direction of the South; noon day sun.
