A Brief History of Tarot:
The exact
origin of the Tarot is not known. However, it is thought
that they originated from somewhere around India and was brought
to Europe with the Gypsies. The earliest known deck seems to
have appeared around the fourteenth century. There is no real
evidence to reveal how old these cards are or whether they ever
appeared on Indian playing cards.
The Tarot
is a visual map of consciousness and a symbolic system that
offers insight into professional, personal motives and spiritual
development of each individual. As a map of consciousness, the
Tarot represents a facet of the total life experience incorporating
the practical everyday world with the spiritual growth of each
person.
During the
Renaissance, the Tarot became a part of the growing interest
in the studies of the mystic such as Qabbalah and Alchemy. The
Tarot saw a revival in the nineteenth century.
Tarot is
a deck of 78 picture cards that have been used for centuries
to reveal the future. In the past several years, interest in
