There are hundreds of different tarot decks. Early European sources describe a deck with typically 52 cards. However, modern tarot decks usually have 78 cards. The 78-card tarot results from adding the Fool and 21 trumps to the early 56-card variant - 14 cards per suit. The 21 trumps cards + the Fool are usually called the Major Arcana (or: "greater secrets"). The other 56 cards (traditionally referred to as pips and courts) are usually called the Minor Arcana (or: "lesser secrets").

Reading tarot cards is both an art and a science. Reading tarot cards is a science because magic is a precision science, so all procedures need to be duplicatable and produce reliable results. At the same time, reading tarot cards is an art form that both requires and enhances the development of intuitive and psychic abilities.
