The magical world of Tarots

Every Tarot card in the deck has its own unique meaning.
When you know what each Tarot card means, you can understand the messages and advice they are trying to send you!
One important information about reading tarot is that they don't read the future, they ''just'' read our mind.

The 78-card tarot deck used by esotericists has two distinct parts:

• The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards without suits.
  Their names and numbers vary, but in a typical scheme, the names are:
  The Magician, The High Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor,
  The Hierophant, The Lovers, The Chariot, Strength, The Hermit,
  Wheel of Fortune, Justice, The Hanged Man, Death, Temperance,
  The Devil, The Tower, The Star, The Moon, The Sun, Judgement,
  The World, and The Fool.
  

Cards from The Magician to The World are numbered in Roman numerals from I to XXI,
while The Fool is the only unnumbered card, sometimes placed at the beginning of the deck as 0, or at the end as XXII.


• The Minor Arcana consists of 56 cards, divided into four suits of 14 cards each;
  Ten numbered cards and four court cards.
  The court cards are the King, Queen, Knight and Page/Jack, in each of the four tarot suits.
  The traditional Italian tarot suits are swords, batons, coins and cups;
  

However, in modern occult tarot decks, the suit of batons is often called wands, rods or staves;
the suit of coins is often called pentacles or disks and the suit of cups is often referred to as goblets.
The three most common decks used in esoteric tarot are the Tarot of Marseilles, the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck, and the Thoth tarot deck.
