Card

The term "CARD" in the context of Tarot refers to individual cards that are part of a deck used for divination. The Tarot deck consists of 78 cards, divided into the Major and Minor Arcana. Each card, ranging from I (The Magician) to XXI (The World), is designed to represent various concepts, often relating to the spiritual path or aspects of reality. These cards feature images and symbols that are central to the divination process, providing a rich symbolic language and narrative for readers to interpret. Each card in the Tarot deck serves as a lens through which individuals explore deeper meanings, gaining insights into their current situation or future possibilities.
