As has been pointed out, the Book of Thoth, or the Tarot pack, is divided into two volumes, twenty-two leaves of which are called Atouts and bear symbolic figures more or less correctly described by the names written on them. The fifty-six leaves of the second volume are divided into four suits, namely: Cups, Swords, Rods, and Money, with four court cards to each suit: King, Queen, Knave, and Cavalier, followed by nine numbered cards headed by the Ace. Papus (page 308) defines the meaning of the suits as follows: RODS.--Enterprise, glory. CUPS.--Love, happiness. SWORDS.--Hatred, misfortune. MONEY.--Money, commerce, mercantile interests. These four sets of principles must be remembered. The four court cards represent people in general or particular who come in contact with each other during the events of life. The Kings represent men, the Queens women, the Cavaliers youths, and the Knaves children. The court cards of the Rod and Sword suits represent dark people, while those of the Cup and Money suits represent light or fair people. The latter are benign, the former indifferent or malignant. The key to the pip cards as given by Papus is as follows: RODS. Creation. Enterprise. Agriculture. Fire. KING.--A dark man. A friend. Generally married. The father of a family. QUEEN.--Dark woman. A friend. A serious person. A very good counsellor. The mother of a family. CAVALIER.--A dark young man. A friend. KNAVE.--A dark child. A friend. Also represents a message or letter from a near relation. ACE.--Commencement of an enterprise. TWO.--Opposition to the beginning of an enterprise.
