I was wondering, a deck of Tarot cards is typically 78 cards, the Major Arcana comprising of 21/22, and the Minor Arcana is the other 56 - does Ra mention the Minor Arcana? Or do you have any insights to offer about the rest of the Tarot cards?

Hi there AstralOrphan!
I think Jade already answered the bulk of your question. And that was the Ra quote that came to mind for me as well.
In terms of the second part of your question, no, I haven't really delved into the Minor Arcana much. Well - I did explore it some, when I first got into the tarot and was utterly entranced by this organized system. After all, it's the root of the modern gambling deck of cards, used for blackjack and poker, and whatnot.
So yeah, nothing really to offer there.
Although - you probably already know this - but the elements of the Cups, Wands, Discs, and Swords is extremely profound. And so really saturating yourself in the archetypal resonances of each of those Minor Arcana cards has the potential to identify balances/imbalances in the psyche. Ie, being quite sensitive to which Understandings are subtlely attractive or repulsive on a deeper level.
