What cards are in a tarot card deck?
Well, this can depend greatly on the pack. When tarot was first created in the mid 15th century, the pattern was not fixed, though it did settle fairly quickly. However, there is still a great deal of variation.
Where there is little variation is in the four regular suits. These are found in both Latin suits (being cups, coins, batons, and swords) and in French suits (being hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades). Each suit consists of 10 pip cards and four court cards: King, Queen, Cavalier, and Valet. However, many tarot packs have a reduced number of pip cards!
The Marseilles pattern (itself quite a late pattern) is the one with which most people are familiar. There are 21 trumps (the invention of tarot marked the invention of trumps in card games!):
Le Bateleur (Juggler)
La Papesse (Female Pope)
L'Imperatrice (Empress)
L'Empereur (Emperor)
Le Pape (Pope)
L'Amoureux (Lovers or Love)
Le Chariot (Chariot)
La Justice (Justice)
L'Hermite (The Hermit or originally, Father Time)
La Roue de Fortune (The Wheel of Fortune)
La Force (Strength)
Le Pendu (Hanged Man or, originally, The Traitor)
Death
Temperance
Le Diable (Devil)
La Maison Dieu (The Tower, or perhaps The Devil's House)
L'Etoile (Star)
La Lune (Moon)
Le Soleil (Sun)
Le Jugement (Judgement or The Angel)
Le Mond (The World)
It is worth noting that the ranking has also varied. In Italy, the Angel, although still numbered 20, outranks the World.
The Fool was not originally one of the trump cards - functioning instead as a kind of wild card. It is still used this way in Italy, Sicily, Switzerland, and France. However, most other countries have come to employ it as the highest trump.
The Besancon pattern replaces the Female Pope and the Pope with the gods Juno and Jupiter. These trumps are still used today in the Swiss 1JJ pack, which is used to play Troccas and Troggu.
The Tarocco Siciliano features some more variations. These cards have 21 trumps but only 20 are numbered, with the highest being Giove. The lowest, unnumbered trump is The Beggar. Also found in this pack is the Ship - only otherwise found in the Minchiate...
Minchiate was a Florentine game played with a tarot pack expanded to have 40 trumps and a total of 97 cards! The extra trumps feature more virtues, elements, and signs of the zodiac. It was once very popular and spread beyond Italy all the way to the Americas - we have records showing it being played in New Orleans during the 19th century.
Finally we come to my own favourite, the Tarocco Bolognese. This pack is regional to Bologna and used to be called the Tarocchino, due to its reduced size. The first and most obvious difference is that the Female Pope, the Empress, the Emperor, and the Pope have all been replaced by four equally ranking trumps called the Four Moors. On all packs, two of the Moors share the same design. This pack is used to play a few games but the best and best known is ottocento - a game of great skill!
You can find examples of all these cards, along with rules for the games they are played with at these sites:

Reply:There are 21 Major Arcana (numbered 1 to 21) and there are 56 Minor Arcana (2-10, Page, Knight, Queen, King, Ace) in four suits (cups, wands, pentacles or coins, swords). The last card is The Fool, for a total of 78 cards in the deck.
The Rider-Waite tarot deck (most popular deck in the US) is detailed in this Wikipedia entry:

I prefer Tarot. I like the Hanson Roberts deck, the Robin Wood Tarot and the Connolly Tarot Deck. Because their imagery works well for my readings. I don’t like the darker cards like Crowley’s Thoth Tarot, but each to their own.
Reply:i actually have a book. its very interesting. it helps me in taort, and you not only know the meanings of the numbers, but you also understand colors as well. the regular playing deck was based on tarot.
Reply:Were you working with only the major arcana (22 card deck)? Because the tarot's minor arcana (56 cards) are the origin of the normal playing cards. They consist of 4 suits (wands, cups, swords and coins...or some variations of these) of 10 cards each and resemble the regular playing cards in many aspects.
If you are looking for something that "suits you" you might want to do research on your own.
Personally, I've found that the kabbalah has a very interesting take on tarot and give a lot of importance to the minor arcana. And since they read the tarot like it's "showing you the right path to God (or your higher self)" it's all very full of constructive interpretations.
Just be careful. Since kabbalah is a bit of a fad right now, searching the net for information might get you some erroneous ideas. Be careful with your sources.

Which is better to use tarot cards or a Ouija board?
i've used both i just want others opinions about which they think is better
Which is better to use tarot cards or a Ouija board?
The Ouija was invented as a 19th century American Parlor game.* Playing cards go back much further, to 12th century China, they were introduced to Europe in the 15th century and the earliest documented case of their use for divination was in 1540 with a method using only the coin suit. The Tarot first appears circa 1410-1430 when the extra cards were added in Northern Italy for various types of card games, and didn't become commonly used for divination until the 19th century. Since both were originally created as games and only later used as tools for Divination, picking one to use is purely a matter of deciding with which one you feel most comfortable.
Reply:The Tarot cards are great. They aren't "evil" or anything ( neither is the Ouija Baord it's all hollywood hocus pocus) but they are beautiful. If your into beautiful things there is such a large selection of cards. I have the standard Ryder cards, I love them, I carry them with me all the time, I appreciate the art in all of them. Do a search and look around, dont buy from other people make sure you can purchase a pack that has never been used because it will have other energy and you want them to be your own personal set.
Good luck, I take reading very seriously but I dont go nuts or become "fanatical" over it, I hardly ever do my own readings and if i do I take my time with it. Really understand the message. Make sure before you begin your calm and relzxed and have time because it's all about your time and your space to learn something about yourself.
The cards will never tell you " your fat" or " your a loser get a better job" or " leave your spouse" that's not how they work it will give you an insight on the details we all forget at times.
Reply:none of them is better, Ouija board would attract angry spirits and i don't believe in tarot cards to be efficient in telling the future...a word of advice mate, don't be to curious about the future because if you are a believer in such a thing and the cards tell you of some horrible thing that is about to come you will start to lose your head and do whatever possible to stop it from happening and this way you'll end up wasting your life for something that will never happen.
Reply:they both work on the same principals. spirits altering the movment of an object. because ouija boards can spell, the are more dangerous.
i wouldnt use a board unless u are sereous about it and respect it as you would a human because it is a human spirit that oporates it
Reply:Without a doubt the Tarot cards. I hate to say it, but one never knows how honest the spirit is when using a Ouija board, but the guardian that helps you with the Tarot will always be faithful to you and not lead you astray.

What is the method for 'keying' new tarot cards & selecting a signifier?
Accurate and detailed replies appreciated. I also seem 2 have tuned off the rider waite deck that i am learning on...just dont seem 2 like/connect with it suddenly! Any guidance on what can be done and suggestions for any other interesting, mystical deck. Love n light...Thx
What is the method for 'keying' new tarot cards %26amp; selecting a signifier?
When I have a new deck I like to go through making sure they are in order and all there. I've had brand new still in packaging decks missing a card, or having a miss print. After I know they are in order and all there I deal them one at a time into 7 piles. I like to do this to give me a chance to look at all the cards and to start to get them into a random order. I then start shuffling adding a pile at a time until I'm shuffling the entire deck. I think this really gets my energy into the cards and also gives me the time to play with them. Personally I don't think it's necessary, but it's nice.
As for a Significator, I use a separate deck and chose a card the I feel feels like where I am right now. I choose from the entire deck. I will also sometimes chose a card that show what I want to create in my self and use this as a final card. So I have a signigicator that I start with, drawn the cards for the spread, and place my chosen end card as the final card. I like to use a separate deck for a few reasons; the two main ones are:
1. I'm not removing a card from the readings in case it has something to show me, and if it does match one of my chosen cards I take that as having additional meaning and weight.
2. It gives me an opportunity to use a deck I may love the art of, but don't really use for readings.
I don't use significators for the majority of my readings.
You can of course add extra ritual to all of this, you can place the deck in the light of the moon the night before you do this. Message a special oil into your hands before starting, I use sandalwood. Light a candle. Say a prayer. Do a calling ritual. Anything that fits with your spirit and feels right. None of it however is necessary. If you think the deck is yours it is.
Reply:Hello SH
I teach tarot %26amp; have Yahoo Group (link below) will always help if I can.
With that in mind im not sure what you mean by 'keying'?
Significators are a matter of choice, some do not like to take an important card from the deck. A significator doesnt always have to be a court card either.
From a court card pospective you can use them from an astrological, colouring or personality view point. Make sure that you only choose one if your new to tarot or it can get confusing.

Reply:I never connected with the RW deck.
I found decks with themes of things that I already have an interest in.
For a long time I used the Legends deck which is about King Arthur %26amp; Camelot.
I'm not sure what you mean by keying, but as a signifier goes, there are a few ways.
One way is to choose a Court card that is most like the person being read for.
Another way is to use the persons birthday and the Majors.
Example- someone born on 4-18-1972
add the numbers up until you have a number between 1 and 22; 22 being 0 the Fool
4+18+1972=1994 1+9+9+4=23 2+3=5
5 being The Hierophant
a person with the birthdate of 11-30-1942 would add up to 22 (Fool), which can be reduced to 4, the Emperor if this card seems more fitting.

Tarot Cards: is it true that you are not meant to get them yourself?
I've wanted a set of Tarol Cards for ages, and am happy now that someone bought me some. The reason I didn't get myself any is because I have a memory of someone telling me, or maybe I read, that they (the cards) always must 'come to you'... Have I just made this up?!
Tarot Cards: is it true that you are not meant to get them yourself?
If you are looking at tarot cards and a deck keeps drawing you to it, that is the deck coming to you. Purchasing it yourself is not an issue. Be sure to touch all of the cards to invoke your persona into them. Wrap them in a soft cloth specially for your deck, and do not let others "use" them other than to lay out the cards for their own reading. There are many types of tarot cards and readings. You can do your own reading with your cards, but will not get a clear reading if you use someone else's deck. Happy future!

Reply:You can buy them yourself but they should "come" to you by being unexpected. Like you should go out shopping (in real life--not on the internet) and find them in an unlikely place. Or go to a likely place but find some that are on sale or clearance or come with other free extra stuff. I personally don't use tarot cards, I use playing cards, and I got mine by shopping at Walmart and looking in the toy section (because I LOVE dolls) I happened to notice that's where they kept their playing cards. One really jumped out at me because it was my favorite color (purple) and they are "Clear Playing Cards". I thought that was funny because perhaps it would make the answers they give "clear". I felt they were specially put there for me so I bought them. They work just fine.
If someone bought you some you might want to like purify them first and then do whatever you do to make them work for you.
Reply:If you are going to be reading tarot cards professionally it is said that you should be presented with the pack. Personally, I feel that if you feel attracted to a particular pack you should purchase it. In any case, the style of your first pack should be one which appeals to you - after all you and these cards are going to spend a lot of time together.
Reply:By "come to you" it means being put in your path. You can certainly buy your own tarot cards. You have to choose a deck that speaks to you and will work with you. It's just like any other tool - you will know when the right one comes along. Sure, fate can work to get someone to buy you the right deck. But it shouldn't be that complicated. More than likely, the giver has no idea what you really need, and is just picking up whatever's convenient. You need to be actively involved, not passively involved.
Reply:"You must NOT buy your own deck!"....is a tarot myth.
There is no special power or anything associated with how you aquire your deck. One given to you is not any more special than one you get for yourself.
I do find that decks that have been cared for and used by others have a bit of a residual energy of that person, but it does not change things for me or the deck.
Want a deck, go get one! Don't let some silly myth stand in the way.

Tarot Cards, Psychic Mediums or just Psychics? Which is the best one?
In the past I have had readings that were all pretty good. But i'd like to know which is probably the most accurate the Tarot Cards, Psychic Medium or a regular Psychic?
Tarot Cards, Psychic Mediums or just Psychics? Which is the best one?
It has also been argued that if psychic power existed, to use it would be "a gross and unethical violation of privacy" and "professions that involve deception would be worthless". There wouldn't be any need for undercover work or spies. Every child molester would be identified immediately. No double agent could ever get away with it. Psychics would be in demand for high paying jobs in banks, businesses and government. "Most psychics would be very, very rich...."and since psychics are such altruistic persons, giving up their time to help others talk to the deceased or figure out what to do with their lives, they would be winning lotteries right and left and giving part of their winnings to help the needy. We wouldn't need trials of accused persons: psychics could tell us who is guilty and who is not. The polygraph would be a thing of the past. Of course, the operative word here is if. If psychic power existed the world would be very different.
It seems clear that psychics can be explained in one of three ways: (1) they truly are psychic; (2) they are frauds, taking advantage of people's gullibility and weaknesses; or (3) they're deluded and self-deceived. Of the three options, the least probable is option number one. "Psychics" who are honest about their deception call themselves mentalists and call their art magic or conjuring. Yet, it is the "psychics," not the mentalists, who are the darlings of the mass media. Thus, when the mass media promote "psychics" for their entertainment or news value, they are either promoting fraud or encouraging delusions.

Psychic is a blanket name for all who work with spirit.
A meduim is used when you wish to have contact with a loved one who is in spirit.
So I guess it would be best decided by your needs at the time.

Are they evil, or permitted given that Joseph Smith used a seer stone and read the golden tablets from the stone in the hat?
“Joseph Smith would put the seer stone into a hat, and put his face in the hat, drawing it closely around his face to exclude the light; and in the darkness the spiritual light would shine. A piece of something resembling parchment would appear, and on that appeared the writing. One character at a time would appear, and under it was the interpretation in English. Brother Joseph would read off the English to Oliver Cowdery, who was his principal scribe, and when it was written down and repeated to Brother Joseph to see if it was correct, then it would disappear, and another character with the interpretation would appear. Thus the Book of Mormon was translated by the gift and power of God, and not by any power of man.” (David Whitmer, An Address to All Believers in Christ, Richmond, Mo.: n.p., 1887, p. 12.)

Joseph Smith used the Urim and thummin...and a seer stone. Yes David Whitmer is right it's translated by the power of God. No we don't do tarot cards, astrology or any other occultic practices . The seer stone isn't occultic.
Reply:yes mormons have their own psychics, a patriarch who goves a patriarticle blessing, the one i got, I burned, it was not a blessing. It started me on my walk out of the church of Jesus christ of latter-day saints.
Reply:As a latter-day saint, I believe that wicked spirits walk the earth as well as righteous ones. Tarot cards, wigi boards [sp?], mediums, etc can be used to communicate with spirits, but we cannot always control the spirit which is called. I personally avoid such practices, even for fun or entertainment.
Reply:Mormons do not typically use Tarot cards. The rest of you question is irrelevant.

Reply:They think that the only good fortune-telling is Mormon fortune-telling. More specifically, a blessing (a kind of prediction of your life) which is considered to be sacred and not to be shared with others.

Like most evangelical Christians, they think that magic is a usurpation of God and that it should be avoided.
