Tarot Deck Description

Today, in the Western world, the Tarot has many uses for practitioners of magick (magic), religion/spirituality, and psychology. It is an often-used tool for divination where the cards act as a focus to allow the reader and client to “divine” meanings and answers surrounding a question or topic.

Some professionals employ the Tarot as a psychological tool for accessing the unconscious and helping clients to explore that realm for healing, growth, and uncovering answers otherwise not accessible to the conscious mind.

Still others utilize the beautiful imagery of the Tarot Cards through meditation and soul searching by focusing on the symbolism present in the cards.

The traditional Tarot deck consists of 78 cards that are divided into Major Arcana (the trumps), Minor Arcana (the numbers 1 – 10), and the Court Card (usually called: Page, Knight, Queen, King; or Princess, Prince, Queen, Knight depending on the deck used). Modern divination decks may have a different number of cards or come from different cultures than the traditional Tarot, but they all work on the same principle.
