Deck of cards 78 Doors
Today, like seven centuries ago, Tarot cards have great popularity, and genuine interest in them increases literally every year. Many esotericists and tarot readers believe that existing decks are not enough and are trying to make their contribution to the history of Tarot cards by creating new decks.
Just as designers strive not to miss new trends in fashion, tarot readers try to have time to understand and analyze newly emerging decks. 78 Doors is now on the lips of everyone who is even slightly interested in the world of Tarot. This deck is modern. Its homeland is Italy, and its creator is Alliego Pietro.
Some people are attracted by the beauty of cards and their visual design, for some, the simplicity and accuracy with which the cards answer the questions asked, while others are bewitched by such a magical and at the same time ordinary thing as doors.
In order to better understand the meaning of the entire deck, we will try to analyze the meaning of doors in our lives. We open and close several doors every day, and we do this more than once. Some doors open before us, opening up new opportunities for us, while others remain closed, even if we have made extensive efforts to open them.
Some doors exist only in the form of an allegory, and some doors no longer exist at all, because a brick wall has formed in their place. Some doors require pick up the key, and some doors are hidden so far away that a person with a key in his hand is forced to go looking for it.
What could be hiding behind the door? Your love may live there, a test may await you, treasures may be hidden there, or there may be the comfort of a hospitable home. Opening each door, you are already languishing in anticipation of the expected events, but at the same time you cannot know exactly what awaits you.
It's possible that a locked door will save you from going astray, and you are completely in vain knocking on it. It is also possible that when trying to break into a locked door, you do not notice a simpler solution to the problem. A comparison can be made between the variations of the different doors that may exist in this world and the variations of different situations.
In this case, we can safely say that in the deck of 78 Doors cards you will find a simple solution for 78 life situations. The most important characteristics that are found most often and from the lips of various Tarot specialists are: simplicity and accuracy of answers.
Tarot card meaning 78 Doors. Major Arcana
The 78 Doors deck, like the classic deck, has twenty-two major arcana. Let's consider them in order, and at the same time those doors that are depicted on each map.
Fool
The card shows a young man. He stands with a key in his hand on the top of a mountain, a bundle on his shoulder, and a faithful dog at his feet. The card says that you should boldly move into the future without thinking about or dwelling on the past.
The map may indicate a lack of logic in human behavior. You feel a large accumulation of energy inside you. You want to act, to prove yourself, to take the first step towards the unknown, because you already have the key in your hands, all you have to do is find the door to it.
But everything is not as simple as you would like. Moderate your ardor and activity, sit down and calmly think about your actions, make a plan and prepare yourself mentally for the fact that you will have to act consistently. In order to find the door, you need to at least decide on the direction.
Mage
On the card of the major arcana number one, the role of doors is played by the branches of bushes rising from the ground on both edges of the card. A young man is standing in the aisle. He easily and deftly shows his acrobatic skills, behind him rise mountains covered with greenery.
Now you are open to everything new, do not be afraid to express yourself, even if your skills are not appreciated the first time, you must be confident that you are able to achieve your goal and are ready to do it. The young man on the map is teetering on the edge of the impossible and yet he does it.
You should think about the fact that whatever your goal is, it can be achieved with certain skills and abilities. If you are confident that your knowledge today corresponds to the desired result, then act without doubt; if not, then continue preparing, but do not give up on the goal.
Priestess
In the deck of cards 78 Doors, the priestess is seated at a wooden table, and in front of her is a magic ball. She looks deep into the ball with concentration and is ready to lift the veil of secrecy over the unknown. The card says that behind the slightly opened door the answer to all the tormenting riddles and secrets awaits you. But in order to open the door, you should listen more to your intuition and trust the predictions.
Empress
On the map we see a colorful and joyful image. A beautiful woman dressed as an empress invites her subordinates, who bow before her, to enter the garden. The door to the blooming garden is already ajar and promises pleasure and peace. The card speaks of the hospitality with which you will be greeted if you are going to visit a place that is important to you.
Do not refuse the help or patronage of a woman if such a prospect appears. The card also speaks of outside help, that someone will show you generosity and help you solve existing problems or simply get to where you would like to be.
Emperor
Behind the open doors is the throne of the emperor, on which he sits. At its foot we see an imitation of the globe. As in the classic Tarot deck, the card is very strong. She talks about strong-willed decisions, that you have the power to overcome resistance and put your willpower on the throne.
Peace, power and grace await you, but no one is going to give it to you just like that. The doors are already open to you, but only the strong, brave, collected, responsible and determined can enter them.
High priest
On the map we see a middle-aged man, he raises his finger up, his face is illuminated with wisdom and calm. His companions are two sheep. Behind him are doors similar to those of the Vatican.
This card suggests that by crossing the threshold of the situation in which your life is now, you will become more enlightened, wiser, knowledgeable, understanding and capable of more than you are now. The key to this door can only be your humility, moral principles, spiritual development and mercy.
Lovers
The card shows a couple of lovers and a fortune teller. She looks at the young man's hand and predicts further events in his life. Now they are all in the apple orchard, but immediately behind them the sand mountains begin.
The card suggests that to solve a problem you should think and analyze less and listen more to your feelings and inner voice.
Now a lot depends on the decision you need to make. If it is extremely difficult for you, and you cannot find enough arguments for any of the positions, then the card advises you to turn to an experienced fortune teller.
Chariot
The design of this card may seem unexpected, especially for fans of the classic Tarot deck. Here we see a rock musician, he is standing in the back seat of an open convertible, the driver is driving the car, and enthusiastic fans are following the car.
It's time to ride with the breeze, enjoy the results achieved, dispel thoughts about the future and enjoy life. You are valued and loved, you are admired, and your knowledge and abilities are worthy of respect and envy. Rest, relax and allow yourself more than usual.
Justice
In front of the closed doors of the courthouse, two men and one woman are trying to sort things out, waving their arms. We don’t know what they are arguing about and what truth they are trying to achieve, but having crossed the threshold, justice itself will decide who is right and who is wrong. The most important thing for you at this stage should be your innocence.
If you feel that you did and are doing the right thing, then you have nothing to fear. If you are wrong, then it’s time to take responsibility for your behavior. Nothing depends on you anymore.
Now you should be submissive to fate and avoid showing unnecessary emotions. Squabbles and conflicts will only worsen the situation, and only justice can resolve the dispute.
Hermit
The map depicts an old man. He sits on a stone in the middle of the desert and with a gesture refuses the offerings that the spirit gives him. The card suggests that you are consciously giving up something. And this is the right choice if your refusal is due to moral principles and the desire to defend your opinion.
The card says that you are now getting to know yourself, abandoning the world, you are delving into the study, and possibly the formation, of your own personality.
Wheel of Fortune
The map depicts the beginning of a seance. Three men and one woman sit at a round table with their hands outstretched on the table. Soon the doors to the other world will open, and for these four new opportunities for learning the truth.
The card suggests that with a certain attitude, you are able to move to a new level of knowledge and realization of your abilities. Now everything is in your hands and luck accompanies your decisions, but do not refuse the help of your friends. Their help can play an important role in your destiny.
Force
The map shows doors guarded by a lion. A trainer stands next to the animal. She holds the animal by the collar and gives him important instructions. The card suggests that it is important to maintain a balance between wisdom and strength.
Only by learning to maintain balance can you achieve success and consider yourself a truly strong person. Don't forget that it is often easier to control someone else than to control yourself.
Hanged
The map shows the auditorium. Viewers watch a man trapped upside down in an aquarium full of water. The card suggests that there are extreme situations in your life, and you do not quite understand how you need to act.
If you decide to make changes, then you should postpone your decision. Now is not the time. In addition, in an inverted position it is difficult to make the right decision. Wait for your situation to change.
Death
An elderly man, all wrapped in black with a hood on his head, sits on the edge of the grave and looks down. In his hands is an hourglass, and behind him is a cemetery gate. The card speaks of the inevitable. You don't have the skills or tools to stop the sand rushing through your watch. Your task is to prepare yourself for the fact that everything in our lives is invariably coming to an end, even life itself.
Moderation
The girl bowed at the door, on which there are two streams. She collects water from each stream into two identical jugs. The card speaks of the balance that you experience at this stage of your life, or that you need to find in order to solve all unpleasant situations.
Devil
A nude couple, a man and a woman, stands before the face of the Devil. Not all doors should be opened, some should remain closed. There is a great temptation before you. You want to take risks and go beyond what is permitted and reasonable. It is worth remembering that once you cross the threshold, you may be left behind slammed doors.
Tower
A tower engulfed in flames at the very cliff, under which the sea waves are raging. The red sky is filled with lightning, and people are running from the tower, trying to find salvation. Not the best period in life. Everything is falling apart before your eyes. In order to save at least something you must act quickly and be creative.
Star
A naked girl pouring water from two jugs stands in front of an arch in an open square. The card indicates romance, easy problem solving, and a positive charge of energy.
Moon
A pregnant girl walks along the seashore on a moonlit night. In the foreground of the map is a locked door, inspiring mystery and fear. The card speaks of uncertain worries about the future. It is possible that your imagination is simply running wild and your nerves are frayed, or it is possible that your intuition is speaking to you.
Sun
In a mysterious circle, left in the middle of a field, possibly by aliens from another planet, two naked children are dancing hand in hand. The card says that the Cosmos itself gives you energy. This energy should be directed in a peaceful direction, then not just a bright, but a rainbow streak will come in your life.
Last Judgment
We see the end of a cliff, from which some people throw themselves down, turning into demons, while others soar to heaven on angelic wings, where a door awaits them, behind which there is a bright light. Your efforts will definitely be rewarded, your bad deeds will be punished. Now you are naked in the face of justice and standing in line for what you deserve.
World
The map shows the delivery room. The birth has just ended and the doctor is holding a still bloody baby in his arms. The happy mother reaches out her arms to hug him for the first time in her and his life. This card radiates happiness achieved through labor and pain.
Minor Arcana 10 of Swords
In the deck of 78 doors cards there are minor arcana, just like just like a classic Tarot deck. There are four suits of the minor arcana in the deck. There are cups, swords, staves and pentacles. Each card is unique and has its own image.
It is enough just to look closely at what is shown on the map to understand its meaning and interpretation. For example, consider ten swords. The map shows a doctor's office. A patient lies naked to the waist on a couch, a doctor bends over him and performs an acupuncture procedure. Only instead of needles, the doctor sticks small nails into the patient’s body.
The patient's eyes are closed in pain. The card says about a painful situation. To resolve the situation safely, you need to turn to specialists and completely trust them.
Layouts
The layouts on the 78 Doors Tarot cards can be the same as using a classic deck of Tarot cards. Cards come to life in the hands of a professional. They begin to speak to their owner in the language that their owner creates.
If it is convenient for you to receive answer to your question using one card– you have such a right and such an opportunity. If you want to get a detailed answer, you can guess with three or even seven cards.
Before complicating the fortune telling process, it is important to learn to understand the meaning of each card individually. The success of fortune telling depends on how easily and quickly you become familiar with your new deck.
Last updated: Nov 16 2018Fortune telling with Tarot cards. In our lives we have to go through a lot and open many doors. It is often unknown what might await behind a particular door. The 78 Doors Tarot will help you lift the veil of secrecy. The cards answer the questions asked very frankly and straightforwardly. But it should be remembered that their answers show the external action, and you will have to draw conclusions about the internal action yourself.
To open any door, you need to find a key for it. Finding unique keys is another theme of the 78 Doors Tarot deck. Keys are knowledge that will help you pass tests to open locks. We see various doors on the Arcana, but they all point the way to something new, obtaining new opportunities. It’s not always easy to walk through the door, because often you need to overcome your fears, get rid of uncertainty, and part with the past. Each door has a guard who will check a person’s readiness to enter that door.
Tarot fortune telling begins with the question we ask them. Asking the right question is the key to effective communication with cards. Meanwhile, considerable difficulties are often associated with this (it doesn’t matter whether we perform the alignment for ourselves or for others). How to decide on a question? What kind of questions can you really get an answer to? How to ask THAT question to which you most need an answer? How to understand them? How to place accents correctly? How to hear the main message of the cards, the answer to the question? What should you pay special attention to?
Fortune telling with Tarot cards and the meaning of the deck of 78 doors, at first glance, seems simple, but you can never be absolutely sure that the right door is open. Even if the door opens, there may be thousands of other doors behind it.
Many are of the opinion that the future is predetermined. 7 8 Doors Tarot (Tarotot of the 78 Doors) will tell you which door to open today.

Fortune telling on Tarot cards and interpretations of individual Arcana
Fortune telling with Tarot cards can teach you a lot. With it, you can look at the situation from an unexpected angle, get additional information when making some choices, develop a deeper understanding of life processes, while simultaneously studying cultural history, mythology and psychology, for example, and get to deep personal insights. Or you can simply relax your soul or be inspired for new achievements.
Tarot is a powerful resource for a person who is in a difficult situation, in a difficult phase of life. Even just drawing three cards from the deck a day can provide great support on your path. Those who have gone through such an experience (provided that they did not demand the impossible from the Tarot, for example, a promise to fulfill all desires), know that the Tarot is a friend and helper. But even when laying out the cards simply out of curiosity, you never cease to be amazed by them. Perhaps the most important thing you need to work with Tarot, besides the deck, is the willingness to enjoy the process of reading the layout! Whatever it is.
The meaning of the Minor Arcana cards
The structure of the Minor Arcana is familiar to almost everyone who has ever picked up ordinary playing cards. These are 4 suits - Wands (clubs), Swords (spades), Cups (hearts) Pentacles (diamonds). Each suit contains cards from Ace to Ten. There are also Figure Arcana or Court Cards of each suit - Page (Jack), Knight (these are not found in regular playing decks), Queen (Queen) and King. In total, ten number cards and four court cards - each suit contains fourteen cards. Since there are four suits, there are 56 Minor Arcana cards.
The Minor Arcana are the “small secrets.” And usually these “small secrets” are understandable to everyone without special mystical knowledge. The sequence from Ace to Ten describes the development of events from the beginning, the beginning (Ace) to the culmination, the final result (Ten), so that you can see at what stage the process is, it is easy to imagine what happened before and what the next step in this sequence may be. Cups, naturally, relate to matters of the heart, emotions and experiences. Pentacleli - to money, resources, the most earthly interests. Wands are the “official” suit of ambition, career, social stress, projects and plans. Swords describe struggle, active action, efforts to solve problems, the work of our mind. Four suits are four ways of human self-realization in the world, four basic rhythms. There is nothing complicated here.
Fortune telling with Tarot cards and the Minor Arcana They already show some individual details, they give advice on how to open the door, and talk about what may be hidden behind it:
Cups
Fortune telling with Tarot cards and the meaning of the Cups cards- these are the doors to the life of emotions, feelings, affections. The Five of Cups teaches you to let go of the past: a woman sees that her house is on fire; the door is on fire, and there is no other way out but to jump out the window, but she doesn’t want to leave, she hopes that someone will help her put out the fire and everything will be as before. The Six of Cups depicts children listening to their grandmother read stories to them - they receive their first lessons from someone they trust. The Knight of Cups goes into a cave under the waterfall; the life he imagined for himself is a beautiful and bright fairy tale, but the water will soon bring him to his senses. The Queen of Cups represents the spirit of the river, she listens with understanding to a woman praying to her and wants to help.
Suit of Cups associated with the element of water, which flows, nourishes and refreshes. In addition, the surface of the water can reflect like a mirror. On the other hand, the depths of the ocean are bottomless and endless. Therefore, this suit is associated with depth, with the subconscious, ever-flowing stream of feelings that ascend to these depths and go there. As an aspect of our being, Cups correspond to emotions, relationships and our imagination. For centuries, layouts for “matters of the heart” have constituted perhaps the very “core” of working with cards.
Wands
Fortune telling with Tarot cards and the meaning of the Wands cards- these are the doors to the world of activity, career, self-expression. The Two of Wands depicts a girl who is seeping through a door, despite the fact that it is still closed to her. The man from the Three of Wands meets the ships, holding torches in his hands, because it doesn’t matter that there is no light in the lighthouse. The Seven of Wands depicts a brave person who dares to open secret doors. The Eight of Wands teaches you to listen to your intuition: there are a huge number of keys on the table, but only one can open the door. Wands are the suit of a person’s personal achievements. It symbolizes fame and enterprise, and indicates success through the revelation of the fortuneteller’s personal potential. The Wands describe a person who has overcome all obstacles in his path and achieved remarkable success through personal effort. In addition, this suit also indicates good luck, simple luck: circumstances and events develop favorably, opportunities arise precisely when a person can recognize them and is ready for them. But there are pitfalls here too. What do the cards of Wands mean to us?
Swords
Fortune telling with Tarot cards and the meaning of Swords cards open the doors of thoughts. The Ace of Swords is the door to the labyrinth: it is huge, its end is not visible, and, of course, it will be very difficult to pass it, and while you can still turn around and leave, remaining with your illusions; but if you go inside, you will part with them very quickly. The woman from the Five of Swords managed to grow old, sitting under the door and not daring to open it, and the door was already quite overgrown while she was tormented by her fears. The Seven of Swords suggests that some doors are very difficult to open, and you need to find a special key and creatively rethink the situation. The Knight of Swords defended his uniqueness; he gets rid of social stereotypes.
The sword is a map of military potential, a sufficient amount of strength for energetic undertakings, great determination to act, the beginning of a successful struggle, separation from the original existence. In the Tarot, Swords symbolize the sphere of struggle, confrontation, overcoming obstacles, the desire for leadership and victory. This is the suit of conquest, decisive action, victory, but at the same time it reminds that there are no victories without defeats.
Pentacles
Fortune telling with Tarot cards and the meaning of the karPentaklili open doors to the material world. The Six of Pentacles depicts a poor family who unexpectedly found a basket of gifts under their door - this is the ability to appreciate miracles. On the path of the Eight of Pentacles, a person will be forced to part with his individuality, and it is not a fact that he will receive any bonuses for this. The life of Queen Pentaclea is supported by people who love her; she needs to listen to their opinions and always be pleasant.
MastPentaclea associated with the element of Earth, which in turn correlates with the world of form and matter. Any most brilliant idea born of the imagination, in order to become reality, must pass through the MastPentaclea. The birth of an idea is a wonderful phenomenon in itself; the creative idea of creating, for example, a painting or a statue can be magnificent, but any idea will remain an idea until it takes on a specific material form. The task of the Pentaclea, if you like, is the material embodiment of the idea.
Fortune telling with Tarot cards and Major Arcana respectively, they mean “big secrets”; their presence in the layout is very significant. If the Minor Arcana are associated with earthly elements ( Bowls- WaterPentacleli - Earth, Wands- Fire, Swords— Air, although interpretations here may differ, sometimes Wands associated with Air, and Swords with Fire), then Major Arcana is the element of the Spirit, a story about the journeys of the soul and the stages of spiritual development. This is a mystical, sacred layer of existence.
The meaning of the cards The Major Arcana describe the most important part of life - gaining spiritual experience. Of course, the Major Arcana also have a purely eventful nature, but still, looking at them, one must remember that these are “big secrets”, and the Chariot does not just mean a trip. The nature of the Major Arcana that appears during fortune telling determines the spirit of the situation, its meaning as a whole, the experience that it brings; often it shows a spiritual state regarding the question of what kind of person this situation is turning you into.
If most of the cards in the layout are Major Arcana, then this is a description of a very important topic, key to development, and will have to be given a lot of attention. Even if the question seems very simple, the situation still has deep meaning, its consequences can be much more serious and interesting than it seems at first glance. If only the Minor Arcana are present in the layout, then the problem has a very simple solution; events will most likely happen quickly and clearly, at the level of everyday everyday situations. In general, it is precisely the linking of the inner secret path of the soul with the elaboration of external life situations that makes the Tarot a “spiritual oracle,” a very subtle and powerful tool. The more persistently you strive for spiritual truths, the more important the lesson of the external world, the problems of which you have to cope with. The spiritual is not only found on mountain spurs, in deserts and ashrams - it is also here, in the thick of existence, where the most ordinary life situations show the true value of your inner developments.
Major Arcana, in general, they do not differ much from the standard ones, but their meanings are slightly changed:
Fool stands on a cliff and holds a key in his hand, there is no specific door in front of him, the whole world is open to him - he just has to take a step.
High Priestess depicted as a witch: there are Tarot cards on the table in front of her, she looks into a magic ball, opening the door to secret knowledge. Its key is true vision.
Hermit tempts the spirit emerging from a loosely closed door, pointing out weak points. He is in search of the key.
Door of Power guarded by a lion. And to get to her, you need to defeat the lion or come to an agreement with him, but, in any case, you will have to overcome yourself.
Door of Temperance closed, to get into it you need to achieve inner harmony and be patient, but the water that the girl collects in jugs inspires confidence.
People shown on the map Devil, could not overcome themselves and still opened the door, which should have remained closed. How they behave now will decide their fate.
Door of the Scary Vessels- the door of patterns, it sums it up and takes it to a new level. Nothing depends on you anymore; you need to accept any change.
The deck is very convenient for asking questions like: “What will happen if I do this?”, “How can I get out of this situation?”, “What prospects will be open to me if I do this?” and so on.
Tarot cards are a mantic tool tested by many fortune tellers and clairvoyants, which allows you to predict the course of future events and timely correct the situation for the better. There are many Tarot decks created by different authors.
The Rider Waite deck is considered universal, but despite this, many alternative versions allow you to get no less truthful answers to questions. Each deck has its own distinctive features that are worth paying attention to.
In this article we will look at the meaning of the 78 Doors Tarot.
By the way! It’s on our website - enjoy it for your health!
Tarot 78 Doors is one of the most unusual decks released over the past ten years. The deck was designed by Italian artistic director Pietro Alliego and drawn by artist Antonella Platano. Tarot of 78 Doors quickly gained popularity and spread throughout our country.
The deck contains a metaphorical opening of doors, symbolizing changes, the replacement of one state by another. Approaching the door, a person needs to make a decision: “Do I go in or stay outside?” Also, the questioner is concerned about what is hidden behind this door?
The idea of doors is complemented by images of keys and guards. Doors on the lassos are depicted open or closed. People either enter them or leave them. And the keys to the doors are either in plain sight or securely hidden on the lasso. Next we will look at the meaning of each of these images in more detail.
Image of Doors
We have to use the doors every day. We constantly have to enter and exit, go through various doors, and we are so accustomed to this object of our everyday life that sometimes we forget its important symbolic meaning.
The door is the entrance. For many peoples, the concept of “discovery” is closely intertwined with rituals that symbolize personality changes. A person acquires a higher status, changes his usual worldview, and becomes an “Initiate.”
In ancient times, traditionally, the entrances to sanctuaries or temples were always guarded by “Guardians of the Threshold.” The latter were statues (knights, dragons, lions, sphinxes, angels and deities). The guardians of the threshold were supposed to prevent evil forces and bad individuals from entering the door.
This is where the famous wedding tradition comes from, when the groom must carry his bride into the house in his arms - this is how he initiates her as his wife and demonstrates to the Guardian that she is now the mistress of this house.
Images of Keys
All doors open and close with keys. No matter what - large or small, metal or gold - it is important that the key fits the lock.
The main task of the Keys is to “open” and “close” - symbolically this demonstrates the possibility of gaining access to everything: to power, certain places, people, and so on.
In its deepest sense, the key is a mantic instrument, with the help of which it is possible to eliminate the boundaries between the obvious and the secret, which also symbolizes Initiation and access to higher knowledge. There are even Masonic lodges that use the key as their emblem, and also as a sign of the Master.
Images of open and closed doors
In the deck of 78 Doors, open doors always have a positive meaning, they represent the removal of obstacles and entry. An amazing opportunity opens up for a person to visualize what is there, on the other side of the door, to expand the scope of his life limitations.
In addition, the door indicates a thirst for knowledge and a desire to make changes in your life. Thanks to open doors, you better understand what is really happening, you feel the beating of your heart more acutely, and you can analyze the past to create a favorable future.
Cards in an inverted position (when they are upside down) radically change their meaning.
The meaning of the cards in the Tarot 78 Doors
In general, it is almost no different from a traditional deck, but there are some changes:
- Thus, he is depicted standing on the edge of an abyss with a key in his hands, there is no door in front of him, the whole world is revealed to him - he just needs to take a step forward.
- the artist painted in the image of a witch sitting at a table on which a deck of Tarot cards is laid out. She peers into the magic ball and unlocks the door to hidden knowledge. Its key is a real vision of the problem.
- seduces the spirit that comes out from behind a loosely closed door and points out his weak points. The hermit is looking for the key.
- The door is guarded by a lion. To open it, the daredevil will have to either defeat the lion, or come to an agreement with him, but be that as it may, he must, first of all, defeat himself.
- The door is closed, in order to enter it, you need to achieve a state of harmony and be patient, but the water the girl collects in jugs gives faith in her own abilities.
- Here we see an image of people who were unable to cope with their vices and opened a door that was forbidden to open. Their fate now depends entirely on their further behavior.
- The door of the Last Judgment is the door of patterns and the final one - having passed through it, we reach a new step. Now our actions no longer change the situation, so we have to come to terms with any changes.

The meaning of the "78 Doors" cardsDoors
Not a day goes by in our life that we don't use doors. We constantly enter and exit, “pass” through doors, and we are so accustomed to this indispensable detail of our life that we have forgotten about the most important symbolic role of doors.
The door is the entrance. In many cultures, the concept of “discovery” is associated with rituals that symbolize a change in psychological and spiritual meaning - a new status, a new worldview, insight and, in fact, discovery, or in occult terminology - “Initiation”. In ancient traditions, the entrances to sanctuaries and chromes were guarded by “Guardians of the Threshold” to recall the deep sacred significance of this “passage”: these were statues of knights, dragons, lions, sphinxes, angels and deities, such as, for example, the Catholic Janus. The role of the Threshold Guardians was to keep demons, forces of evil and unworthy people out of the door. This started a tradition that has reached our time, when the groom carries the bride into the door of the house in his arms, as if dedicating her to his wife and introducing her to the Guard as the mistress of the house. Open or closed, the door always defines the boundary of the space of sacred power.
In the Gospel of John, Christ speaks. “I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved.” In the churches of ancient Judea there was a door and the Holy of Holies where sacrifices were made for the sins of the people, which only the High Priest could enter. For independent Turks, the “Supreme Portal” was a symbol of power. Among alchemists, the door is a common symbol that connects the outer world with the inner world. The ritual of crossing a threshold, the possibility of passing through a door, is a metaphorical act associated with spiritual growth, transformation and Initiation.
Every door has a Key.
It doesn't matter how small or big it is, made of gold or metal,
simple or intricate - the main thing is that it must fit the lock.
The purpose of the Key is to “open” or “close,” which symbolizes the possibility of access to almost everything: power, place, person, and even social consciousness. The key is needed to enter. To this we can add: “to bind” or “to free.” In a deeper sense, the key is a magical tool that allows you to overcome the boundary between the conscious and unconscious, meaning Dedication and the presence of higher knowledge. In some Masonic lodges, the key is the emblem and distinctive sign of the Master.
Each case has its own key. So, for example, in the architecture of Gothic churches, the key, or “cornerstone” that supports the entire multi-ton structure of the vaults, is the architraves. Failure to correctly calculate their parameters, that is, making the wrong key, can negate all the work and even lead to the collapse of the building and the death of people. We must also not forget that a key that is not used will rust, which makes it unsuitable for use.
Understanding a book, a metaphor, or a piece of music also requires “keys,” which are often stored in our memory and come to mind unexpectedly as we seek to understand and uncover mysteries. The symbolic images and variations of the “key” are countless. Great scientists and esotericists searched for the “keys” to knowledge. An example is the famous English mystic and linguist Edward A. Waite, who dedicated his book “The Illustrated Key to the Tarot” to the interpretation of symbols and signs of the Tarot. In the introduction to the book there are these words: “The real Tarot is symbolism; no other language or other signs are known to him. Its emblems, from the point of view of their hidden meaning, form a kind of alphabet, forming a myriad of combinations and giving everything a true meaning. At the highest level, it gives us the key to the Sacraments...”
Two types of Doors
A door can serve as an entrance or exit, it can be open or closed.
In the same way, the cards in this deck have double meanings. A closed door always has a negative meaning. This can be seen as a physical or mental barrier that limits our progress. This is inflexibility, exile, inability to contact others, everything that does not allow the flow of energy to flow freely and naturally.
How can we overcome resistance and open the door? There are different possibilities: for example, to use force and destroy the obstacle, as did the biblical Samson, locked in Gaza, who, in order to get out, simply lifted the city gates and carried them to a nearby mountain; you can look for another door; You can think about it and find the key that fits exactly that door.
An open door always has a positive meaning, symbolizing overcoming obstacles and entering. We have the opportunity to imagine what is on the other side, expanding the boundaries of our space. The door is also a thirst for knowledge, a desire for change and change, direct personal vision. Open doors allow you to better understand, hear the heartbeat, analyze the past to create the future and, finally, look into the depths of your consciousness and be open to others.
The inverted (upside down) position of the card is interpreted as the opposite of the upright one.
