DIAGRAM 2.   GENERAL  ATTRIBUTION  OF  THE  TAROT      Provided that Diagram 1 has been mastered as it should have been, this figure will pre‐ sent no difficulty. The ten numbers evidently refer to the small cards of the pack, the Aces to  the number I, the Deuces to the number 2 and so on. The Court cards are referred to the num‐ bers 2, 3, 6 and 10 in their capacity as representative of the idea of Father, Mother, Son,  Daughter. The twenty‐ two Trumps refer to the twenty‐two Paths.    The same general remarks made in the description of the first Diagram, apply here  also; but this Diagram must itself be studied separately. It should not be used as a table to  which to refer when in doubt; it should itself be committed to memory before proceeding to  the detailed study of the pack.
