The tarot is a pack of cards. Tarot decks usually have 78 cards in total: 21 trumps, 40 pips, 16 face cards, and one Fool card. In England and the United States, tarot cards are used for divination. In many European countries, the cards are also used in games.

Within Catholicism it was praised not just the greatest Tarot book ever written, but as one of the greatest works of perennial philosophy of all time, by many eminent theologians such as Hans Urs von Balthasar, Bede Griffiths, Thomas Keating and Basil Pennington.<ref>[''Meditations on the Tarot'']</ref>⏎
