Tarot Cards of the Minor Arcana

The Number Tarot Cards

In the number Tarot cards there are 4 suits and 56 cards. Similar to traditional playing cards, the 56 Minor Arcana Tarot cards are divided into four suits. These are Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles. Some packs assign different names to their suits such as Rods, Staves or Batons in place of Wands. Pentacles in some packs are also known as Coins or Discs.

Again similar to playing cards each suit has numbered cards Ace –10. However unlike the three face cards in a playing card pack, the Tarot pack has four face or court cards - Page, Knight, Queen and King. Again different packs may give alternative names to the court cards such as Prince or Princess.
