Lenormand's Mystical Tarot is a 36-card deck designed in the 19th century. The imagery is much different than the two most common sets- Rider-Waite and Marseilles. It appears to draw from Egyptian, Greek and some Biblical lore. Some consider this an "oracle" deck as opposed to a true "tarot" deck.

Meaning of the word tarot?
A set of cards used for playing trick taking card games which use a constant trump suit and also for various cartomantic, spiritual, or psychological applications. The typical 78 card tarot includes four regular suits of 14 cards each, a trump suit of 21 cards, and the fool. Each of the four regular suits are headed by 4 court cards; the king, the queen, the knight or cavalier, and the jack or page. These regular suits are often called "minor arcana." The 21 trumps and the fool form a set often called the "major arcana." The terms "major arcana" and "minor arcana" are more often used by tarot card readers than they are by game players. The Italian suited tarot uses the suit signs of coins or pentacles, cups, batons or wands, and swords. The French suited tarot uses the suit signs of diamonds, hearts, clubs, and spades. The Italian suited tarot is currently favored by those practicing tarot reading although it is still used in some regions for card playing. With few exceptions, French suited tarots are almost exclusively used for card playing and not for cartomancy. Tarot was not widely adopted by mystics, occultists and secret societies until the 18th and 19th centuries. Antoine Court de Gébelin, a Swiss clergyman and Freemason, published Le Monde Primitif, a speculative study which included religious symbolism and its survivals in the modern world. Gébelin further claimed that the name "tarot" came from the Egyptian words tar, meaning "royal", and ro, meaning "road", and that the Tarot therefore represented a "royal road" to wisdom.The idea of the cards as a mystical key was further developed by Eliphas Lévi and passed to the English-speaking world by The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. His book 'Transcendental Magic' introduced an interpretation of the cards which related them to Hermetic Qabalah. He devised a system which related the Tarot to the Kabbalah and the four elements of alchemy. Tarot divination became increasingly popular from 1910, with the publication of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot (designed and executed by two members of the Golden Dawn), which replaced the traditionally simple pip cards with images of symbolic scenes.Each card has a variety of symbolic meanings that have evolved over the years. Custom or themed tarot decks exist which have even more specific symbolism, although these are more prevalent in the English-speaking world. The minor arcana cards have astrological attributions that can be used as general indicators of timing in the year, based on the Octavian calendar, and the court cards may signify different people in a tarot reading, with each suit's "nature" providing hints about that person's physical and emotional characteristics. In many systems, the four suits are associated with the four elements: Swords with air, Wands with fire, Cups with water and Pentacles with earth. The numerology of the cards is also considered significant. The tarot is considered to correspond to various systems such as astrology, Pythagorean numerology, and the Kabalah.Carl Jung was the first psychologist to attach importance to tarot symbolism. He regarded the tarot cards as representing archetypes: fundamental types of person or situation embedded in the subconscious of all human beings. The theory of archetypes gives rise to several psychological uses. Since the cards represent these different archetypes within each individual, ideas of the subject's self-perception can be gained by asking them to select a card that they 'identify with'. Equally, the subject can try and clarify the situation by imagining it in terms of the archetypal ideas associated with each card. Some schools of occult thought or symbolic study, such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, consider the tarot to function as a textbook and mnemonic device for their teachings. This may be one cause of the word arcana being used to describe the two sections of the tarot deck: arcana is the plural form of the Latin word arcanum, meaning "closed" or "secret."The tarot is a variant of the 52 card deck created in northern Italy during the 15th century for playing a type of trick taking card game still played in many European countries such as France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. Tarot cards began to be used for divination during the 18th century and have become a popular tool in subsequent centuries amongst occultists and those seeking spiritual or psychological guidance.
When was the Universal Tarot deck invented?
There's a lot of debate over the answer to this question. While some say that there is a connection to the ancient Egyptian Book of Thoth, there isn't any proof of these claims. The earliest known Tarot decks date back to late 15th century Italy. The "modern" Tarot deck is 17th century French, and it's English language cousin is early 20th century. The English language version saw a few notable changes in the major arcana like the removal of "The Pope" card (replaced by the Hierophant). The Rider-Waite deck is the most common of the English language tarot cards and was drawn by Pamela Coleman Smith in 1909 (published in 1910). If you look hard enough you can find original 1910 versions on eBay. There's an excellent (free) online tarot reading available at ifate.com which is also worth seeing. http:/www.ifate.com/tarot_index.html
