			==History==
			In the 1374 [[trionfi]] poem which inspired the creation of the tarot, Eternity was the name of one of the six original triumphs, which later became The World in subsequent tarot decks.

			The painting of Eternity almost perfectly matches the images later used for The World in the tarot, showing [[saint]]s ministering to the four animals of the Apocalypse in the four corners of the painting. In the center, surrounded by a ring of [[angel]]s, sits the Ancient of Days.

The symbols of the four fixed signs are presented at the corners of the cards, and where these fixed signs are seen as the foundation stones of our physical world.

'''The World''' is the 21st card in the [[Major Arcana]] in most traditional [[Tarot]] decks.

==Rider-Waite Depiction==

The garland is a symbol of humanity and the eternal reward of a life that has been spent well.

==Divinatory meaning==
In [[divination]], this card usually indicates assured success, recompense, a voyage, or a change of place. The best of everything.

In reversed position, it means: Inertia, fixity, stagnation, or permanence.
