Tarot
is a divination system that uses a set of cards to gain insight and
achieve greater control over issues involving relationships,
opportunities, and life changes. Tarot cards are an ancient form of
divination, whose origins are shrouded by the thick fog of time. Tarot
was used during Renaissance in Italy as a popular game, and was
rediscovered by occult scholars in the 18th century, and was connected
to other forms of occultism. It is a tool for guidance and for self-discovery and to get in touch with one's own intuition. Tarot cards are an intermediary between the conscious and the unconscious mind. One thing they are not is a tool for black magic. Tarot is excellent for receiving clarity on problems or issues that logic by itself simply can't handle (most of the important ones in life!). Relationships, negotiations, work dynamics, office politics, family matters, spiritual well-being. Essentially, Tarot is simply a set of symbols printed on a pack of 78 cards. These cards are shuffled and dealt, just as ordinary playing cards. The Tarot has four suits with 10 numbered cards and four court cards in each suit. In most Tarot decks, there are also 22 numbered Major Arcana. While the Major Arcana are the more powerful, since they deal with major life changes and philosophies of life, the Minor Arcana are often more commonly used in readings because they refer to the mundane events most questioners ask about. They are divided into four suits.Tarot cards are not fortune-telling cards; they will not tell you that a certain event is definitely going to happen. The philosophy behind the Tarot is that all future events are subject to change, and if you are warned of unpleasant events in advance, you can prevent them.Tarot cards benevolently warn that danger lies ahead if you stay on your current course and change nothing. You may choose to ignore this warning, but when you pass the danger zone, you will pay quite severely. Or you can take preventive measures and change the course of events.Tarot cards can answer questions about the past, as well as those about the future. And they can reveal the present as well. Often, the cards can show the thoughts, feelings and motivations of the questioner, and of others who are related to the question. Most relationship spreads have positions for both partners for this reason. If there is something that you must know in order to solve a problem, the Tarot can and will reveal it to you. Often, you'll find that you already knew it, but you overlooked it or ignored it.They do not always tell you what you want to know, but they do always tell what you need to know. They donot always answer the question that you ask, but they will always answer the question that needs answering the most.
