I’m not sure if this should be in this forum (but I guess it is a question on the tarot’s historical ordering…).
I’ve noticed that the number 21 (the trumps, excluding The Fool) can be calculated by 1+2+3+4+5+6, and that 78 can be worked out as 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12 (I’m sure there’s a name to these types of sequences, but I don’t know what it is).
I’ve no idea if this is just coincidental, or if there’s some underlying meaning to this. Does anyone have any theories on this (or can point me in the right direction)?
If the trumps are laid out in a pyramid format (according to the 1+2+3… order), you get:
1
2, 3
4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, 10
11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21
Has there been any theories on this?
