What Does A Tarot Card Deck Consist Of?

The tarot deck consists of 78 cards, each with its own unique symbolism. The cards are divided into two parts: the Major Arcana, which consists of 22 cards, and the Minor Arcana, which consists of 56 cards.

The Major Arcana cards represent major life events and the Minor Arcana cards represent everyday life events. Each card carries a certain meaning, and when combined with other cards, can form a larger story about a particular situation. Tarot cards work by using a series of images, symbols, and numbers to help a person explore his or her inner feelings, thoughts, and spiritual path.

Each card in a Tarot deck has its own meaning and represents a specific aspect of life. When the cards are laid out in a certain pattern, the querent (the person asking a question) can interpret the meaning of the cards and gain insight into their current situation.

Tarot cards are typically divided into two main groups: the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. Here's a complete list of all the tarot cards:

Minor Arcana:

There are four suits in the Minor Arcana, each with 14 cards: Ace through 10, and the four court cards—Page, Knight, Queen, and King.

In total, there are 78 cards in a traditional tarot deck.

The Spread

A tarot card spread is a specific arrangement of cards drawn from a tarot deck during a reading. Each position in the spread has a particular meaning or theme, which is used to interpret the card placed in that position. The combination of the card meanings and their positions in the spread provides insights into the question or situation being explored. There are many different tarot spreads, and each reader may have their preferred spreads based on their reading style or the nature of the question being asked.

Here's a brief outline of how a tarot card spread works:

Choose a spread: First, the reader selects a spread that is appropriate for the question or topic at hand. Some common spreads include the Celtic Cross, the Three-Card Spread, or the Horseshoe Spread, among others.
Formulate a question or focus: The person seeking the reading, known as the querent, typically has a question or area of focus in mind. This can be anything from seeking guidance on a specific situation to gaining insight into a more general life theme.
Shuffle and cut the deck: The tarot deck is shuffled and sometimes cut by the querent or the reader, depending on personal preference. This process is meant to infuse the querent's energy into the deck and allow the cards to be drawn in a manner that reflects their situation.
Draw the cards: The reader then draws the cards one by one, placing them in the designated positions of the chosen spread. Some spreads may require a specific order for drawing the cards, while others may allow for a more freeform approach.
Interpret the cards: Once all the cards have been placed in their respective positions, the reader begins interpreting the cards based on their meanings and the positions they occupy in the spread. The reader may also consider the relationships between the cards and any patterns or themes that emerge.
Provide guidance or insight: The reader then uses the information gleaned from the cards to offer guidance, advice, or insight to the querent. The tarot reading is meant to serve as a tool for self-discovery, reflection, and decision-making, rather than predicting a fixed or predetermined outcome.

Keep in mind that tarot card readings are subject to interpretation, and different readers may have their unique approaches to spreads and card meanings. The key is to approach the reading with an open mind and a willingness to explore the insights and guidance it can provide.
