Learn about Tarot in Silent Hill 3, its origins based on Hebrew consonants, and the meanings of cards like The Magician and The High Priestess.

Tarot is based on the 22 Hebrew consonants and is said to represent the entire world. Each card, numbered 0 through 21, has a particular meaning. By reading these cards, fortunetellers predict the future.

For example, the first card, "The Magician," signifies creation, wisdom, beginnings, or destruction and fraud. The second card, "The High Priestess," denotes intuition, harmony, faith, or dogmatism and arrogance.

According to some texts, the Gardner deck had more than 22 cards. (The Gardner deck does not exist today; it is mentioned only in the literature.) It is said that these extra cards were based on lost Hebrew vowels and denoted an otherworldly aspect.
