The Major Arcana are the named cards in a cartomantic tarot pack. There are usually 22 such cards in a standard 78-card pack typically numbered from 0 to 21 (or 1 to 21, with the Fool being left unnumbered). The Major Arcana are complemented by the Minor Arcana—the 56 unnamed cards of the tarot deck, which more directly correspond to the contemporary standard 52 playing-card deck.
