Tarot readings Major and Minor Arcana

Tarot decks can have the entire seventy-eight cards consisting of fourteen cards per suit plus the twenty-two trumps or consist of only the twenty-two trump cards. Traditionally the trumps and suits were part of a trump style game with many historical and national variations. It was Ellic Howe, writing under the name Ély Star who came up with the terms ‘major arcana’ and ‘minor arcana’ In modern times suit cards are Pentacles, Swords, Cups, and Wand. Trumps are cards like the Fool, The Magician, etc. Since the introduction of the cartomantic and occult tarot there have been ongoing attempts to “get it right.” Subsequently the names of both have been played with over time. A historical comparison of major arcana names and numbers can be found below.
