The Major Arcana as depicted in the Rider-Waite tarot deck

In occultism, the Major Arcana is the term used for the 22 trump cards in a standard 78-card tarot suite, traditionally numbered from 0 (The Fool) to 21 (The World). Originating as a mundane set of cards for gambling and game-playing, tarot cards attained mystical associations and provenance in the 17th century as a tool of divination.
