Tarot cards are a deck of cards primarily used for divination. They are divided into 'major arcana' and 'minor arcana', with the latter resembling a normal deck of cards except that there are four picture cards in each suite rather than three. The suits are called wands, swords, pentacles, and cups, equivalent to clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts respecitively. The majors consist of 22 picture cards, one of which survives in standard packs as the joker.
