The Mystery of Tarot
Psychics are believed to have a vision of the future but I believe that we all get glimpses of what is about to happen in our lives or in others lives. There are many card deck types for foretelling the future including 'Angel' cards, 'Faerie' cards. 'Universe' cards and 'Tarot' cards.
The best deck type for reading the future are the traditional Tarot decks. In my opinion Tarot, rather than Angel or Fairy cards, are best and the interpretation derived from a Tarot reading and the Tarot meaning associated with these cards are factually the best.

The Tarot Cards in History

Where do the Tarot cards come from?
About the origin of the Tarot de Marseilles, we know few things but we can however say this: the Tarot de Marseilles deck appeared in France under the reign of the king Charles VI. When this poor king became insane, he was locked up in a castle by his wife Isabeau of Bavaria. Odette de Champdivert, his mistress offered a deck of Tarot cards to him. In fact, these tarot cards were composed by 56 paperboard pieces decorated with figures and signs. This play was used by Sarasins in Eastern countries. Charles VI asked to Jacquemin Gringonneur to redraw the figures in order to make them look prettier. Some claim that the first illuminations of the cards appeared in Italy but the work of this artist is indexed on the journal of Charles VI's banker. |
The Tarot we talk about here was not a divination Tarot but well a card game; which still exists and is still used in Mediterranean countries. Although the opinions are divided and the experts seldom agree between them, the Divinatory Tarot de Marseilles was born from this game.
22 major arcana were associated to the 56 basic cards (minor arcana). These major arcana are more often used than the minor arcana. The graphics of the Tarot de Marseilles look medieval and reflect the concerns of our ancestors to perfection.
