The first 22 cards of the Archeon Tarot are collectively called the major arcana, while the remaining 56 are called the minor arcana.

The major arcana represent the characters and themes which form the basis of the Tarot, while the minor arcana offers a perspective or focal point that may add or help clarify the meaning of an individual card.

The major arcana show us the outside forces influencing events beyond the control of the individual. They may be people, events, or even things in the individual's environment which demand attention or affect the outcome of a given situation. Click here to view the major arcana.

The minor arcana is divided into four suits, similar to traditional playing cards. Each suit is numbered ace through ten and includes four court cards. In the Archeon Tarot, the court cards are Herald, Knight, Queen and King.
