Tarot is a set of [[card]]s originally designed to be used as [[playing card]]s, but which was later adopted by occultists as a means of divination. A typical tarot deck consists of 78 cards, divided into two groups: the Minor Arcana and the Major Arcana.

The Minor Arcana consists of 56 cards divided into four suits: swords, wands (batons), cups, and pentacles (coins). Each suit has ten numbered cards and four court cards: Kings, Queens, Knights, and Pages.

The Major Arcana, or trump cards, consists of 22 cards without suits:

* 0. [[The Fool (tarot)|]]†
* 1. [[The Magician (tarot)|]]
* 2. [[The High Priestess (tarot)|]]
* 3. [[The Empress (tarot)|]]
* 4. [[The Emperor (tarot)|]]
* 5. [[The Hierophant (tarot)|]]
* 6. [[The Lovers (tarot)|]]
* 7. [[The Chariot (tarot)|]]
* 8. [[Justice (tarot)|]] or [[Strength (tarot)|]]‡
* 9. [[The Hermit (tarot)|]]
* 10. [[Wheel of Fortune (tarot)|]]
* 11. [[Justice (tarot)|]] or [[Strength (tarot)|]]‡
* 12. [[The Hanged Man (tarot)|]]
* 13. [[Death (tarot)|]]
* 14. [[Temperance (tarot)|]]
* 15. [[The Devil (tarot)|]]
* 16. [[The Tower (tarot)|]]
* 17. [[the star (tarot)|]]
* 18. [[The Moon (tarot)|]]
* 19. [[The Sun (tarot)|]]
* 20. [[Judgement (tarot)|]]
* 21. [[The World (tarot)|]]

† The Fool is unnumbered and not considered a trump card in traditional decks. It may be numbered 0 or 22 in decks designed for fortune-telling.
‡ In traditional decks, Justice is the 8th card and Strength is the 11th card. Starting in the early 20th century, they swapped positions in many fortune-telling decks.
