Etteilla's system of tarot was developed from the traditional game decks  known as the piquet deck, a shortened version which used hearts, clubs spades and diamonds. Along with this he added the ''Etteilla'' card, and he added upright and reversal meanings to the cards. Etteilla also published a deck, the ''Petit Etteilla'' which was based on the same system of occult divination. The tarot of Etteilla had twenty-two major arcana and fifty-six minor arcana. From the inspiration of De Gébelin,  Etteilla had reordered the Major Arcana or Trumps, and added his own images and scenery.

====[[Eliphas Levi]] and the Tarot====
    
The French occultist and writer Alphonse Louise Constant [1810], [Eliphas Levi, psuedonym] influenced occult revivalists of the 19th century like Crowley and Waite. Eliphas Levi had never created his own deck, but his perceptions on the origins and meaning of the tarot had influenced modern systems of tarot. By 1853, Levi was working as a journalist and giving lessons in occult theories. He adopted the name Eliphas Levi from a Hebrew translation of his own name. He attended a seminary in Paris where he trained to be a priest. While at the St. Sulpice seminary, he learned about the Devil, animal magnetism and energies, which lead to his study of the occult.
