The Minor Arcana consists of 56 cards, divided into four suits: Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles (or Coins). Each suit represents a different facet of life and corresponds to one of the four classical elements—fire, water, air, and earth, respectively. Within each suit, there are ten numbered cards (Ace through Ten) and four court cards (Page, Knight, Queen, and King).
