What are Tarot Cards?
Tarot cards are a deck of 78 cards with unique images and meanings. Each card represents a different aspect of life, including the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. The deck is divided into two parts: the Major Arcana, which consists of 22 cards that represent major life events, and the Minor Arcana, which consists of 56 cards divided into four suits (Cups, Wands, Swords, and Pentacles) that represent different aspects of daily life.
