22 Arcani Maggiori

Each Major Arcanum portrays a scene, generally highlighting an individual or a few groups, with numerous emblematic components. In numerous decks, each has a number (generally in Roman numerals) and a name, however not all decks have both, and some have just an image. Each tarot deck is unique and conveys an alternate meaning with the craftsmanship, anyway most imagery stays as before. The earlier decks bore anonymous and unnumbered pictures on the Majors Strength is customarily the 11th card and Justice the eighth, however, the powerful Rider-Waite-Smith deck exchanged the situation of these two cards to make them a superior fit with the mysterious correspondences worked out by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, under which the eighth card is related with Leo and the 11th with Libra. Today numerous decks utilize this numbering, especially in the English-speaking world. The two situations are considered substantial.
