#Tarot

1. Any of a set of usually 78 playing cards including 22 cards depicting vices, virtues, and elemental forces, used in fortunetelling.
2. Any of these 22 pictoral cards used as trump in tarok.

Tarot cards come in many different styles, and are used to help gather information about a person, or particular subject. Some people believe they are fake, and just for fun. Others take them very seriously, and believe in the power of tarot.

They can't predict the future, but are able to give warnings, or advice, which is usually vague and can be interpreted in different ways.

Answer 2

The tarot is a set of cards featuring 21 trump cards and a special card called "The Fool", in addition to the usual suit (face and pip) cards found in ordinary playing cards. Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play Tarot card games[1].

In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, Tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes[1].
Some Tarot readers believe that a spiritual force guides the cards and insights into the future may be gained from readings
