The house deck · Javane 1–78
Tarot cards and their meanings
An original oil-painted deck for the Divine Triangle. The Magician through the Fool at 22, then Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles — picture, gift, shadow, and practice for every card.
How this house reads the deck
Faith Javane and Dusty Bunker numbered the tarot 1–78 and laid those numbers on the Divine Triangle. This is not a fortune-cookie deck and it is not a scan of another publisher’s Rider–Waite sheet. Each face is painted for this house — oil, gold leaf, midnight — and typeset with Cinzel so the titles stay exact.
1–22 are the Major Arcana. The Fool sits at 22, after the World, as Javane taught: the leap that follows completion. 23–36 are Wands (fire), 37–50 Cups (water), 51–64 Swords (air), 65–78 Pentacles (earth) — Ace through King in each suit.
When a chart shows 42 · Six of Cups or 16 · The Tower, open that card. A number on the triangle is weather for a span of years. It is not a new Life Path.

Life Path is the road. The 78 cards are the same numbers laid on the Divine Triangle. Birthday first — then the cards that belong to you.
