A Little About Tarot Cards and Tarot Readings
Most of us have heard of Tarot Cards but may not fully appreciate their history and current usage. In European countries, there are a number of tarot card games for instance. The cards used in the games have many different designs, patterns and colors and are quite distinct from those used in psychic tarot readings. The game cards can vary depending on the particular region in which the players are located. Some of the standards however, are a deck of 78 cards which consist of four suits of fourteen cards, twenty one trump cards and a fool card.
Of course, many of us are more used to thinking of tarot cards for insight into one’s future and there are millions of people who have taken advantage of this use of the cards in helping them make important decisions in their lives. The cards used for these psychic readings are rather different from the game cards. Modern tarot card decks differ in their colors or symbols. However, the most common deck in the English speaking world is the Rider-Waite Tarot. The majority of the modern variations of the tarot deck in fact are based on the Rider-Waite Tarot.
The modern deck used for psychic readings can be divided into 2 parts. There is the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. The major Arcana includes the trump cards which are very symbolic and provide the deeper, more profound answers that you may be seeking from a tarot reading. These cards are scene based and are labeled with both a roman numeral and a name. The Minor Arcana on the other hand are 56 cards that can provide answers to more immediate questions you may have about daily activities or events. These cards also consist of a roman numeral and a name for each that your reader will use to address your questions.
