The Tarot

The term "Tarot", or "Tarocchi", is applied to a pack of 78 cards, consisting of four suits of 14 cards each, and 22 symbolical picture-cards answering for trumps. Much of what seems today to be common knowledge about the Tarot originates with Samual Liddel MacGregor Mathers. MacGregor Mathers deeply dedicated his life to the study of Western Mystery Traditions and magic, pursuing knowledge and truth above all else. In this short, concise book, Mathers defines, describes and lays out the use of the tarot for divination, entertainment and personal growth.
