SPOILER!!: ze Professor

Freya copied the list of Divination to her notes. Wooo..There are a lot of form of Divination there. She sighed and put her quill down. She heard Professor Bishop asking about Tarot. Oh they going to learn about tarot?Yay..!! She raised her hand before saying "Tarot cards are a set of 78 cards that is used for occult purposes. The cards were divided into two parts. The Major Arcana and The Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana cards are thought of as the "power" cards in a tarot reading, while the Minor Arcana serve in supportive roles and augment the reading with further insight and detail of circumstances."

"It seems you might be a bit hopeful about that subject," she said to the two who had mentioned them by name, before turning back to the class as a whole. "Cartomancy, or its similar cousin Taromancy, is quite the delicate study. As was mentioned, it can most commonly be considered reading cards, Taromancy being more specific to the Tarot while basic cartomancy can use any form of cards. Actually, most common is a basic deck of Muggle playing cards. And there's another offshoot that simply uses what are known as oracle decks, which is a bit more, well specific than either divination with playing cards or Tarot cards," she said, moving slightly toward the bookshelf as she spoke. If anyone was curious, she could explain their uses as well, but at a later time. "For now, let's stick with the basics, though," she continued. "Maybe with the Tarot." And her discussion was turning a bit more casual, it seemed. "Does anyone want to offer a fact or two about the Tarot? Anything about the specific cards in the deck, or whatever else you can think of." Then maybe they could look into the correlation between that deck and the others. It would depend on what she got right now. Freya copied the list of Divination to her notes. Wooo..There are a lot of form of Divination there. She sighed and put her quill down.
