(The most common variation in the order is the exchange of VIII and XI: the Rider-Waite-Smith Deck uses VIII for Strength and XI for Justice, whereas the Marseilles deck uses VIII for Justice and XI for Strength.) The images on the Major Arcana in esoteric decks are often very heavy with symbolism; in more occult decks, there is far more to the illustration than a mere depiction of the card title. The Major Arcana are usually regarded as relating to matters of higher purpose or deep significance, as opposed to the Minor Arcana which relate to the everyday world and matters of immediate significance.
