The Tarot
The tarot is very basic. It starts out with the "Major Arcana" which translates to the big picture then the "Minor Arcana" is which the small details that is broken down into four different suits and is based on numerology.
A standard Tarot Deck has 78 cards, however they vary widely.
See Tarot Resources for a list of Tarot Decks I have used building this website.
Quite frankly one time or another someone asked me what is the difference between an oracle and a tarot and I said that the tarot has structure. Which I was referring to the archetypes of the major arcana and the four suits of the minor arcana.
If there's an Oracle to go with them that is usually like the crown or the spirit.
These vary widely on number of cards.
See Oracles for a list of all the Oracles I have used building this website.

One of the twelve high-ranking demons in the eastern court of King Oriens. Star can strike people deaf and blind or even addle their wits. Despire these rather vicious powers, the Book of Oberon describes him as a good and true spirit. In a related manuscript (known by the designation Additional MS, 36674, fol 64r number 7), his name is given as Scor, a spelling that might indicate his connection with another spirit named in the Book of Oberon, Skor.
