SUITS

The Minors are separated into four suits. These suits represent certain things:
Wands

FIRE (though some decks have it as Air). If FIRE then:

Represents passion. As such, in a reading it usually stands for a Querent's ambition, career, creative endeavors, religion and/or philosophy. Anything a person might put their energy and soul into, such as teaching and leadership. This is something you have to do, whether you are recompensed for it or not. It is something that burns inside of you and you need to act on it.
Cups

WATER

Represents the emotions. Best known for representing the Querent's love life, but it also stands for emotional extremes, such as elation, depression or bliss, and the negatives that come with such emotions, like over-indulgence in food, drink, drugs. Likewise the positives like poetry or music. Also, psychic powers, visions, illusions. These are feelings that you surrender to, that you flow or sink into.
Swords

AIR. AIR though some decks have it as Fire. If AIR then:

Represents pure mind, thinking, speaking. Best known for representing problems and troubles especially those relating to communications or bad press, but really about anything to do with either words and/or thoughts. Brilliant thoughts as well as nightmares; sharp ideas or a sharp tongue. This is the card of scientists and analysts, of thinking things through or thinking/saying too much. Ideas breeze into your mind, words are given breath, written letters and messages fly on the wind.
Pentacles

EARTH

Represents the body and the physical. Best known for representing health and money, but is also anything to do with work, a job, a task, a craft. Also luck. That which is solid, real.

I see nothing Bible related or things that can bring me closer to God... it can 'look' good but the NAM is notorious for making garbage look good. And yes that link is a NAM site.

Yet there were normal things in my family too like the few times I remember my dad & I praying the rosary together in the dining room. But once I got out of the new age junk in my own life I wrongfully lumped it all being Catholic. I know better now but back then I was ticked off because I don't even want to think of what I was messing with in those days. Tarot has nothing to do with prayer, sorry.
