Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. How many cards in the Tarot deck?

Answer: 78

There are 22 cards (or keys) in the Major Arcana & 56 in the Minor Arcana for a total of 78.
2. By what names are the two divisions of the Tarot deck known?

Answer: Major and Minor Arcana

Arcana = keys, secrets.
3. The four suits in the Tarot deck are: swords, wands, cups and what else?

Answer: pentacles

Pentacles correspond to diamonds in our modern deck of playing cards and are associated with money and financial matters.
4. Which suit of the Tarot is associated with emotions, love and happiness?

Answer: cups

Cups correspond to hearts in today's modern deck.
5. Which suit of the Tarot corresponds to the suit of spades in our modern deck of playing cards?

Answer: swords

Swords are usually associated with misfortune and conflict. Wands correspond to clubs and signify activity and change.
6. Which card of the Tarot deck is often (almost always) numbered zero?

Answer: the Fool

The Fool is said to represent the beginning and the end of the cosmic journey of the soul. It is both the Alpha and Omega, hence the zero (0) symbolizing the cyclical nature of the pilgrimage.
7. Which card is incorporated in the album art of Led Zeppelin IV?

Answer: the Hermit

The Hermit (key 9), representing Absolute Wisdom, seemed to be a personal symbol for guitarist Jimmy Page, himself a student of the occult. Chanteur means "singer" and is not a card in the Tarot deck. The Moon (key 18) is, however, as is Temperance (key 14) though I doubt Led Zep was much familiar with that term.
8. Which card, of the following choices, is often said to depict Adam and Eve?

Answer: the Lovers

Many decks, including the most widely known Rider-Waite deck, show a man and a woman (often interpreted to be Adam and Eve) standing beneath the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, respectively.
9. Which of these is NOT a method of spreading the cards for a reading?

Answer: Annie Bonneau

There are probably as many varieties of spreads as there are selections of decks. Everyone from Aleister Crowley to Robin Wood to H.P. Lovecraft seems to have designed, illustrated or inspired a different variation of the Tarot. Annie Bonneau is mentioned in the Grateful Dead song "Black Peter". To my knowledge, there is no spread that bears her name.
10. What is the term for the card used to represent the questioner during a reading?

Answer: significator

Pallida mors and malis avibus are latin for "pale death" and "under evil auspices". Here, they are merely red herrings and have no bearing whatsoever on this subject. Thanks for playing!
