Homonym: tarot cards (Fortune-Telling)
Tarot cards are a set of 78 cards used for divination, self-reflection, and guidance. They are divided into two main groups: the Major Arcana, which consists of 22 cards representing significant life events and spiritual lessons, and the Minor Arcana, which includes 56 cards that focus on everyday situations and experiences. Each card has its own imagery and symbolism, which can vary between different decks.
Typically, a tarot reading involves shuffling the cards and laying them out in a specific pattern, known as a spread. The reader interprets the cards based on their positions and meanings, often providing insights into the querent's (the person asking the question) past, present, and future. Tarot is often used as a tool for personal growth and understanding.
