Tarot

Tarot was a type of fortune-telling performed with a special deck of cards, each card holding a meaning. According to Donna Noble, the meaning of a fortune depicted by a card was changed depending on whether the card was presented to a viewer facing forwards or backwards. (PROSE: Legends of Camelot)

Cards in a Tarot deck included:


 * The Queen of Cups
