The Tarot is an art fortuneteller, that is, to predict the future and the past, used cards, or cards. A collection of letters is called a deck. Depending on which deck is used in the art of divination, the results can be more concise or more generic, and is the preference of the diviner determines which deck to use.
Tarot decks can be divided into two classes:
1 - The cards that modify the content, meaning, and therefore reading them.
2 - The cards that change only the appearance, ie maintaining the same symbols, but the illustrations are different from the rest.
Regarding the former, we know many different decks, but the most used, by far, is called the Tarot de Marseille.
Although there is not only this deck, other very popular are:
- The Tarot de Marseille (French Tarot de Marseille)
It is the deck of Tarot cards best known and which derive all later.
This is a set of 78 cards, divided into two groups: major arcana and minor arcana.
- Crowley Tarot
This Tarot deck was created by Aleister Crowley, a notorious occultist and magician who lived in the riding of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Adjust some arcane higher, as the Force Lust, and temperance for the Arts.
- Tarot Rider
The name comes from the editorial Rider, who published the work of Pamela C. Smith. Contains some minor arcana cards of the very elaborate, which gives it a very interesting interpretive power, as it is precisely these mysteries that help us refine the readings with their specific meanings.
- Golden Dawn Tarot (Sunset Gold)
This superb pack was created in the late nineteenth century in the heart of the Golden Dawn, a sealed order that continues today. As much as Pamela C. A. Crowley Smith members of this order, we assume that was the origin of the two decks above.
The cards that simply change the illustrations, are included in one of the cards above (or others that we have left), and aside from aesthetics, nothing new to reading the Tarot.
- The deck Bavarian
It consists of a total of 40 cards numbered from 6 to 12, followed by Unter or Bauer (bottom or peasant), Ober or Dame (upper or lady), König (king) and Daus or Ass (two or as). Are divided into four suits: Schellen (bells), Gras or Grün and Laub (grass, green foliage), Herz or Rot (heart or red) and Eichel (acorn).
Several derivations of this deck, such as Central Europe, the Swiss frank.
- The deck French and English deck
Consist of 52 cards divided into four different suits: spades ♠, hearts ♥, diamonds ♦ and clubs ♣. On the English deck clubs are numbered 2 to 10, plus as represented by an A, which acts as a 1, and Figures: J (Jack or jack), Q (Queen or Queen) and K (King or king). Some cards include two Jokers (Joker). The French deck uses the numeral 1 instead of A, V (Valet) instead of J and D (Dame) instead of Q.
- The Spanish deck
You can be 40 cards, 48 or 50-depending on the game-divided into four suits: coins, cups, swords and clubs. The deck of 40 cards is numbered from 1 (ace) to 7, jumping in the figures to 10 (jack), 11 (horse) and 12 (King). Some games like The handle used the Spanish deck of 48 cards, including 8 and 9, before the figures. The Spanish deck may also include two jokers.
- The deck Neapolitan
It's like the Spanish, 40 letters, with the difference that the jack is numbered 8, 9 and the horse as the king and 10. Probably the Spanish card was adopted in Naples dureante the domain of Aragon and later evolved more in Spain than in Italy, so that the Neapolitan is more like the old Spanish deck.
